    In a h2h sense kind of way, I’d pick SRR.

    I think you mean in a pound for pound sense. Head to head Robinson isn't beating the greatest heavyweights. If you are asking P4P, then Robinson is a great choice, along with a few others.

    Yes, I'm sure a 5'11 160 pound Robinson would do well against the 260+ pound skyscrapers of the modern heavyweight division.

    If you mean someone that’s able to beat everyone from fly to heavy? Muhammad Ali is the best pick (I think) he isn’t the “best” in terms of what he actually did but he is the most durable, wilful and determined with enough skill, size and power to put all the other guys away. (Most anyways) he’s just the most likely not definite at all.

    Imagine watching Valuev swat Robinson like a fly...

    If all things were equal and sizes were scaled and on their absolute best day, my pick would be Roberto Duran.

    Joe Calzaghe. Too tough to be knocked out too smart to be out boxed. Overall the best fighter ever.

    Tommy Hearns might have something to say about that

    I could see some here arguing that a Robinson or a Greb could take Valuev

    Realistically it has to be a heavyweight, although this is practically impossible I'll go with these three choices:

    Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury (Much more confident on the first two choices)

    Someone is going to get a lucky shot in and splatter Lewis. I pick Ali for the HW battle here.
