    ****ing hell Robinson was 124-1-1 or something amazing at one point in his career,against some pretty stellar opposition as well.So it's not as if he was struggling too often in his prime anyway.

    Consider as well that Robby was meeting (and beating) guys like Angott,Servo and Zivic within his first two years as a pro which was very rare in those days.He was matched hard and moved fast and he was more than up to the challenge.

    As you pointed out he did struggle in some fights but thats gonna happen when you fight top rankers multiple times and with Robinson's extreme frequency.

    Really what more could Robinson have done?

    On this board I think Thomas Hearns , Ray Robinson , Ray Leonard , Marvin Hagler , Holyfield , Tyson , Lewis and Ezzard Charles are rated were they should be.
    Duran , Ali and Moore are slightly overrated , but are approximately well rated here.
    Toney and Langford are slightly underrated.
    Robbie Sims is not mentioned.
    Rocky Marciano is slightly underrated (forgotten really) in P4P lists , but is overrated in all time HW (SHW) lists.
