    Nah your talking **** mate. As great pure boxers go Robinson and Ali are not just the only ones who stand out on film.

    ******, there's **** loads of brilliant pure boxers from the old days. Pep is probably the best.

    Robinsons a stick on n1 ATG for me. Ali is probably top ten but it's debatable.

    Whats your top ten then?

    Never beat a great fight, poor technically, looked like **** against world class counter punchers. Never in a million years a top ten ATG. Good trolling though :good

    It depends what you classify as a pure boxer. Pep, Ali etc moved a lot and were very elusive but technically not perfect. Floyd Mayweather and maybe Sugar Ray & Locche were more economical in their movement but still not hard punchers and very elusive.
