    ita hard as fighters get criticized so much more now and people always like to complain about losses etc.
    its not just boxers that are different now the people that judge look at it differently now

    SRR over 200 fights. Simple answer TBE. There will not be another.

    De La Hoya and Trinidad were great, but not Ray Leonard level, let alone Ray Robinson.

    the craziest thing about SRR is that as fast, skillfull and powerful as he is in the fight tApes we have - there is no footage of him in his prime. It is insane to read the fight reports and imagine how good he must have been back then. I've always dreamed that some secret tapes would one day be found after he died but it never happened.

    You must be British. Look, just cuz some fighter is great and you like him a lot more than you ever liked any other fighter, does not make him the best or anywhere near the best. No one is saying Calzaghe isn't great but this is Sugar Ray Robinson where talking about!!
