    ask many a boxing purist and fan and this one raises many questions but im gonna go with robinson slight edge over ali and here is why.... Ray Robinson 179 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws, 2 no contests, 109 KO.even Muhammed Ali referred to Sugar Ray as the greatest fighter ever... i dont think much effort has to go into who is 1 or 2 as this is my opinon as to why i think robinson is 1 but there is no argument that either one of these guys are 1 and 2 :good

    Ali was "The Greatest", the greatest boxer ever was Robinson hands-down, no contest

    Even Ali admitted the SRR was the best ever -- Ali even based his style on Robinson's. There's no reason to debate this anymore.

    Ross, Armstrong, Canzi, Fitz, all have good reasons to be rank over Ali imo.

    This isn't even close. Robinson is the best boxer. Robinson was well schooled. Ali was talented. Robinson had all of Ali's great qualities and talent, plus rock soild fundamentals.
