Better Victory? Frazier over Ali or LaMotta over Robinson? Why?

    Fraziers and I dont think its close, Ali is largely considered the HW GOAT ad was still 28-29 but faded. Robinson is great but was an ex-LW giving up something like 17lbs, Lamotta had a massive weight advantage similar to what Pavlik would hve over Pacquaio today

    Would Pavlik get much props for beating Pacman? Or Mayweather? Probably some but it would always have the asterix next to the win

    He wasn't then though and going by that logic Robinson is largely considered the GOAT. So Frazier beat the best of his division, LaMotta beat the best of all time.

    LaMotta's weight advantage was close to what Clottey probably had over Pacquiao. Pavlik comes in at 170, Pacquiao at 147, so it'd be around 23 pounds.

    Ali was clearly ducking Frazier for three years though.
