    Not only him...don't forget the guys he had to fight.

    That was a brutal boxing era with ass-whippings waiting around every corner.

    No, no, and thrice no.

    He was leagues above any fighter who ever lived.

    As Ali once said, " I'm the greatest Heavy ever, but Ray Robinson is the greatest fighter ever "

    I've never seen any clear footage of him in his prime so I don't know.

    No. One punch ko power with either hand, every punch in the book, great movement, beautiful jab, heart, chin. The best ever.
