Sugar Ray Robinson - Greatest of all time? For ALL time?

Great great fighter probably the most exciting fighter I ever saw.

 

Now wait just a minute, pilgrim.

Is "the greatest of all time" the same as "the best ever"? I saw a boxer wearing a cap that had "TBE"
on the front.

Asking for a friend.

 

I don't normally attempt Pound for Pound evaluations. For Sugar Ray Robinson, I'll make an exception. Yes and yes.

 

Share some John L. Sullivan lore with us if you please.

 

What do you think of the great Charley Burley?

 

After a drink he would bellow he could knock any SOB out and then he probably could.

 

No different things. TBE is the best ever inside and outside the ring as regards the business of boxing which of course is Floyd Mayweather.

The P4P greatest is obviously and universally acclaimed as SRR and

The GOAT of all time of course is the greatest himself Muhammad Ali the black superman. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see. Rumble young man rumble.

Of course the perfect fighter was Roberto Duran the fighter of the 70s, what a fighter, what a man.

 

Great fighter and atg but not in SRR class.

 

Both Sugar Ray Robinson and Harry Greb are neck and neck as the GOAT, there's no doubt about it.

 

The great Eddie Futch thought he was even better than SRR. The skills in those days were off the charts. I love rewatching the Ezzard Charles vs Jersey Joe Walcott fights.

 

This is always my argument.

 

Enter Bailey: But did you guys actually see SRR fight??

 

So because you haven't seen Greb, you know that he wasn’t on the same level as Robinson? This makes zero sense.

Being ignorant is a form of knowledge.

 

Putting SRR and Greb is an insult? Really man? To you it's an insult, but to every credible boxing experts and historian that actually knows the sport that point is valid. Just because you haven't seen videos with your own eyes doesn't make Greb any less of a great fighter, taking into account that he's beaten several HOF/ATG level fighters and that he was always outsized..
I can understand only having SRR as the GOAT, but to say that it's an insult to have Greb in the same league is an insult itself because you are not willing to acknowledge greatness from further back and you want ignore the reason why he's considered on that level.
