what is the greatest achievement of any boxer in the history of the sport

Ahead of Robinson`s undefeated amateur & pro WW record & 5 time MW champion ?

Armstrong`s FW, LW, WW, titles all held together ?

Pep`s 220+ wins with only 11 defeats thru a 26 year career ?

Ali with Liston, Frazier & Foreman on his record & being the 1st ever 3 time HW champion ?

Try again... next ?

 

For the record, everything considered... Ray Robinson was the best overall fighter that ever lived.

IMO :smoke

 

Probably Amrstrong winning the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight titles inside a 10 month span.

Other impressive feats:

SRL emerging from a long retirement to beat Hagler.

Duran beating the Prime SRL. Also Duran taking the middleweight title from Barkley after Barkley had just wrecked Hearns.

Manny Pacquiao's career above 130. People might take shots at Pac's resume, but I remember people said Pac would have tough fights/lose with pretty much all of his opponents above 130, which didn't happen, and then people raced to discredit him afterward.

I remember being really impressed by Mosley beating the **** out of Margarito. Margarito looked like a monster at the time, and nobody wanted to face him, and then an aging Mosley comes in and kills him, spurring both Pac and Mayweather to evade facing him for at least another year. When the P4P #1 and #2 both don't want to face you immediately after one of your victories, you've done something impressive.

Tyson unifying the division and dominating everything at age 22.

Foreman and De La Hoya, for stringing together great careers, making a staggering amount of money, and being in solid physical/mental condition after leaving the sport. That is truly the best you can hope for from the fight game.

Tony Ayala Jr., Ike Ibeabuchi, and Edwin Valero, for having more fans talk about what might have been from them than the vast majority of fighters get fans to talk about what they actually did.

 

2 Highly overratted stats

 

Oliver Kirk winning the Bantam and Featherweight Gold Medal at the same Olympics , George Finnegan won the Fly Gold and Bantam Silver at the same Olympics also. Both at the 1904 Games.

 

LOL how the fuk did that happen?

 

Jones fought Ruiz. that is what takes away that accomplishment. Hearns beat Cuevas for Welt and Virgil Hill for Light heavyweight. That is an accomplishment. Hearns beating legends Cuevas for 147 pound title, Benitez for 154. And Hill at 175. And stopping Duran in what should have been a unification.

 

Alexis Arguello's absolute domination of 3 divisions back when only a handful of fighters had won titles in 3 divisions deserves honorable mention.

 

Perhaps this is an odd one but I think some recognition should go to Jimmy Wilde who became arguably one of the greatest flyweights of all time.

 

That has to be a ****-take.For your own sake:think

 

That's twice I've really laughed in the last 12 hours on ESB.
Well done and thanks.

 

Even though it was 3 rounds it was the best fight ive ever seen.

Dont give a **** if someone tries to tell me Gatti Ward or Morales Barrera was better goes in just wasnt.

 

the rumble in the jungle is epic.

**** off with RJJ from MW to HW.

 

Bob Fitzsimmons MW to HW
