Which fighters post Robinson have had the opportunity to surpass him?

But that higher rating is a false inaccurate one isn't it. That's what I'm saying, for me I don't rate him any lower because I feel the losses were past his best, just as I do with many many greats who lost a bunch of times after their best.

But if someone feels the losses are meaningful then they would be deprived that meaning had he prematurely retired whilst still at his best.

Either way an early retirement should never elevate someone's ranking. What you describe is an artifical inflation I think, which is something we'll never know.

But I mean is it better for Fury to retire now, rather than risk losing to the winner of AJ vs Usyk? Of course not. We want to see fighters fighting the best.
