    Moron, huh? Funny, I didn't get personal with you. I can see I have upset your delicate nature. So sad. You must have a problem with me and Ali rating Robinson as #1 since I was labeled as a "moron". Did you read any post from me either today or at any other time ignoring Ali's greatness? I'll answer that. No. You did not. I rate Ali as the greatest HEAVYWEIGHT of all time and it isn't even close to me. I think Ali is one of the very best fighters who ever touched a pair of gloves, but pound for pound, if someone rates Ali #1, that just means they need to do a lot of research. It takes years to do this. Give it a shot and tell me what you come up with.

    Some say Foreman is 6'4", so there! Now he is "far bigger". LOL.

    I just thought I would give you a cheap shot since you have been skillfully breaking balls all day. ;)

    I'll tell you, buddy. The more you read about Harry Greb, the higher you will rate him. Unbelievable! Greb vs. Jones or Hopkins would both be great match-ups, in my humble opinion. By all accounts, Greb had unbelievable speed. Faster than Jones? I don't know, but in the same league if not. Jones may very well be the most gifted fighter of all time. He could do things that others could not. Again, I would still pick Greb to beat him.

    or i could just have an opinion maybe? there are many who rate ali higher than robinson.hes a worthy adversary for the top spot

    in fact ali and robinson are quite clearly 1 and 2 whichever way you place them.they are two of if not the 2 most naturally talented fighters ever,they're resumes are incomparable,they faced the best of the era and beat them all and they were pioneers in terms of fighting style and boxing culture.for the record greb doesn't touch either no matter what you may think,thats my opinion

    so take your boxing knowledge and choke on it,i'm entitled to an opinion and i simply said ali was my number one,as many would agree

    If Chavez had taken on anywhere near the level of opposition Ray routinely did, then maybe.

    That's just insane that you got to see him fight/train in person. I'd never wash my eyes again!

    I was merely giving you some of Robinson's credentials. I wasn't saying that those numbers were the mark of Robinson's greatness. Chavez was clearly beaten by a superior fighter, in Pernell Whitaker. His "0" was nearly as impressive as it looked to be on paper. Again, study. Not just the history of the sport, but a little grammar studying wouldn't hurt either. I will let you get the last word if you like. I am busy at the moment and as always, I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed combatant. :lol:
