Why is Sugar Ray Robinson considered the greatest boxer of all time?

Dumbest thing I have read all day

 

Some say Robinson avoided too many of the top black fighters of his time. His style is very fan friendly and well filmed. That helps him a lot.

You could argue Greb, Leonard ( Who I think won 120+ fights in a row ), Langford, and Armstrong too.

 

Harry Greb went 261-17 and beat 13 ATGs and a plethora of hall of famers.. he is the GOAT

 

to be honest i dont know much about harry greb. i only said that because i hated the guy who posted it

 

Yea that guy is pretty annoying

 

Now, if only we had some footage ...

Agree that record wise a very good case can be made for Greb who has a gold plated, diamond encrusted resume. On the other hand if the GOAT label has a h2h component to it then we have a problem, because styles make fights and with no footage it becomes hard to evaluate. If somebody claims SRR is the GOAT I wouldn't hold it against them. You could argue that.

 

real talk

 

Only VITAL context is missing from each of those fights. Mainly VIDEO of them. The problem that people run into when labeling him the Greatest of All Time is, much of that is based on Newspaper decisions. That in and of itself can be very troublesome because of the bias some beat writers exhibited in that time. We've seen countless articles from respected men and journalist illustrating a bias for a particular fighter because they came from their hometown or the obvious racial bias. So if we're basing a guy's record solely on the word of some people who may not have been the most fair, well then, that calls into question how many wins or losses somebody really had. We can't see the fights for ourselves, and thus there is this huge elephant in the room when stating Greb is the GOAT. Even myself, I put him in my top 5 in p4p sense, simply giving him the benefit of doubt with such a crazy resume. No. 1 though, nah, that is a bridge too far when I can't see the fights myself

 

You should try watching fights.

 

too many fights in boxing history to watch.
with the exception of floyd mayweather

 

real talk

real talk man

 

Try watching other great fighters. You'll soon realise that there's been than Floyd.

I know your trolling. I don't know why I'm replying to you tbh lol

 

Robinson was a fraud.
Hype job.

 

fraud in what way?

 

I see the Floyd troll as moved here. LOL
Let me guess.............you're a ******* trying to get Floyd more hate. Sad. Nobody cares about the Pac defeat to Floyd. Move on.
