Why is Sugar Ray Robinson considered the GOAT ?

No, just you. You're in your own little world and obviously haven't seen many of the fights of the boxers you're discussing.

 

Hilarious threads are made daily in this forum, like Marciano vs Ibeabuchi where members unironically believe the former wins.
This forum is fun to jump in from time to time for a laugh.

 

Only to people who started following the sport in 2007.

 

Are you related to NoNeck?

 

Age does not make Robinson's opponents better. Their skills are also worse, quite obvious to see.
The timing and defence of FMJ is something SRR and his peers had never seen.

 

And the earth is flat.

 

And Robinson was the greatest boxer hailing from this flat Earth.

 

I never said that Robinson is the greatest.

I will say he is both greater and better than Mayweather. He was more skilled and has a more impressive record.

Mayweather's record is massively overrated. His skills are not as overhyped, but still overrated.

 

FMJ's defensive mastery is unparalleled. He without a doubt is the greatest defensive boxer ever.

 

No he isn't.

 

Who ranks above him?

 

The only one providing a laugh is you and not in a good way.

Not about to argue with someone who honestly thinks Oscar is better than Robinson. Oscar isn't touching him in h2h, resume, skill, nothing.

 

Well, you said 'without doubt'. I'd say there is plenty of doubt that Floyd Mayweather is the greatest defensive fighter of all time (and that's not a criticism of Floyd - he was a great defensive fighter).
Willie Pep
Pernell Whitaker
Miguel Canto
Wilfred Benitez

Those are four fighters who have at the very least equal claims to being great all-time defensive fighters.

 

I am getting the impression he only started watching boxing when Floyd became a big PPV star and has only glanced at boxrec when it comes to most of the fighters he keeps dismissing. I mean he straight up wrote Floyd was the actual TBE.

 

Benitez was knocked out by Leonard. He had great reflexes but he definitely took way more punches than Money did.

Whitaker had great defence, but IIRC his connect ratio was lower than FMJ's.

Pep took too many punches and that too from lesser opposition.
