    Obviously I'm 99% confident Sugar Ray will win this poll, and I obviously agree with that.

    Im just interested in seeing who else does well, because I've seen some very interesting (even confusing) statements about who people would call the best ever recently.

    I've included some of those in the poll along with some who I consider next besters myself.

    Henry Armstrong would have been a good choice, as well.

    Has to be Sugar Ray Robinson

    Ticks all the boxes

    His resume and boxing/fighting abilities are unrivalled

    He needed to beat Duran I, and Hearns in II, he lost that fight .. He does this and he has a case for top 10 .. He just doesn't have enough fights for me and is a tad overstated , imo

    SRL beat Duran, Hearns & Hagler. How is he NOT worthy of that accolade?

    Name me 5 boxers with wins as good as those...

    Hi Morlocks; Benny was an ATG but, as Don Dumphy once said: "Don't overlook the fact the he had an inordinate amount of 'no-contests' in his career."
