    Question For Boxing Fans...

    You can pretty much argue anyone was not a great fighter if you try hard enough. I was thinking about this the other day, no matter who it is theres always excuse that can fabricated to take away greatness. My question is this, what fighters can you not in anyway question their greatness? Are there any? Or a there always holes for criticism in any fighter? One guy I've never heard people doubt is Sugar Ray Robinson...**waiting for a Robinson assault**

        Sugar Ray had it all. I wouldn't dare make negative remarks about the greatest fighter the world has ever seen.

          Just so people don't start saying "well Truth everyone has an opinion so of course people can question anyone". What I really mean by this thread is what fighters are most untouchable when it comes to greatness. The fighters most fans and expets argree are definitley great...

            He lost clearly to Harry Simon. Sure, he beat two names, but they were a blown-up lightweight and a blown-up welterweight, both way past their best too.

            Taylor is pretty raw, but grinding out a draw with Taylor might be his best achievement.

              Wright's fighting another past-his-best, blown-up welterweight 'name' in his next fight too.. it's his trend.
