    Ray Robinson would terrorize, demoralize, abuse, torture, and destroy today's top 3 pound for pound fighters.

    There is no real argument against him being the greatest of all time. Anyone who says Sugar Ray is over rated is a ****ing ******!

    If you really watch the tape his skills are unlike any other fighter. But that doesn't necessarily mean he'll win every bout! But I've never seen anyone better on film!

    Pacquiao savagely KOs the overrated SRR in 3 rounds.

    I co-sign this 100%... He was an extremely skilled and violent fighter. Watching film of him is jaw dropping. Strange that there isn't much WW footage of him being that was his best weight.

    Wow, and some of you have the nerve to talk **** bout me....:-(

    Pacquiao gets knocked out and wakes up in round three being served with some fresh Alabama black snake injected in his ass...

    The guy he tried to fight like, the guy he called the King, the guy he called the Master, the guy he called his idol

    I think guys like Hagler, Hopkins, SRL, Jones would have beaten Ray Robinson, at MW.

    He overrated when people act like he can't lose in fantasy fights. Like I heard Robinson would KO Leonard. How in the hell can you make a case for that? I wouldn't be surprised if at all if Leonard out boxed him.

    Absolutely correct ! PBF with his speed crushing power,indomitable will to win would have wiped the floor with SRR. All those fights against Hall of Famers SRR fought mean nothing ! Look what PBF did with Delahoya and Marquez , SRR wouldn`t stand a chance...And you just know that PBF would have salivated to get a chance at SRR with 6 oz. gloves and over 15 rds ! Hell SRR could only box, had unmatched footwork, great ring intellect,and an anvil for a chin. Why would anyone think he was anywhere near the cream of crop ????

    He's easily the GOAT but I agree that he's overated in fantasy match ups. There's no way he'd easily beat the likes of Mayweather, Leonard, Hearns, Whitaker....he'd beat those guys most definetly 3 times out of 5 but he lost to lesser fighters than these and has been given very tough fights by far lesser fighters than these. Everyones so quick to say SRR will destroy anyone he's matched against when truth is many all time greats would give him a very difficult fight and have a chance of winnining 1 out 3,4,5 fights. But all in all, resume/skill set/h2h he's the GOAT and there's no debating it. The greatest
