    the people who aren't putting Robinson as the top two are kidding themselves....100+ wins and one loss? avenged his only loss four times?

    1) SRR
    2) Ali
    3) Louis
    4) Armstrong
    5) Duran
    6) Archie Moore
    7) Pacquiao
    8) SRL
    9) Hagler
    10) Mayweather

    ...I tend to rank in terms of pure skill...these primitive boxers can't be the greatest of all time because the sport had not evolved enough

    By contrast, anybody using the word 'primitive boxer' to describe the likes of Greb and Langford, and putting the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao in there top 10, are kidding themselves.

    Why is putting pac up there so bad? He's beaten four guaranteed hall of famers: Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and De la hoya and two potential hall of famers in Hatton and Cotto (Not to mention the fact that he is a natural featherweight.) How many hall of famers has Hagler beaten, and how many weight classes did he win titles in, yet people don't find it absurd to put him up there.
