Leonard a better Athlete than Robinson?

Maybe Robinson is the better athlete, only thing I've known Leonard to do is gymnastics as a kid, some cross country in middle school.

 

In my opinion Ray Robinson was a better athlete. In my opinion Benny Leonard was the better boxer.

 

Hard to say, considering little footage exists of Robinson in his heyday at welterweight. Decent footage anyway..........

 

I don't see how anyone can come to that conclusion from viewing the footage thats exist's :huh, Robinson looks the much superior fighter.

 

Yea but there is more footage of Robinson avaible.

 

true but most of it is a past his best Robinson,

 

Nope

 

:good:goodits not even close

 

I don't even know how you'd compare how athletic they are really. They are pretty equal from what's there's to see I reckon.

 

There would be very very little difference in handspeed at their welter peaks.

 

jones is more athletic than both

 

SRR was a far greater fighter than the likes of SRL,(who I think highly of) he was also a far greater fighter than PBF.....and by a wide margin....the best athlete of the this bunch

 

why

 

it's pretty subjective but on pure natural athletic ability, i rate jones as the greatest of all time. his combination of speed, strength and reflexes at 168 is the pinacle of athleticism imo: his skills and basics of the game were significantly lower than either robinson or leonard though and that's what let him down in the end

 

but he could'nt put combinations together better than Robinson or Leonard, also there footwork is much better and there fluidity too.

I would include these in athletic ability.
