The best boxer ever. (pound for pound)

Or you could try the boxing forum (hidden much further down the list).

Or I can post where I like.

Of course you can, dearie, but if you do want an informed debate on the noble art, perhaps the tiddlywinks forum is not the ideal location.

Of course you can, dearie,



I often wondered who the new Superman was.

tyson for me

seems to have friended up with the nelk boys on youtube looks harmless these days

Mike or Fury?

meant mike

Ali, and anybody that thinks otherwise is a fackin Mug !!

Not to burst your bubble but Ali would have toyed with him for maybe 8 rounds until Tyson was worn out and then delivered the killer blows.


Funnily enough, if you watch the link, Ali took Sugar Ray on as an 'adviser' when he first fought for the world title and showed his respect for him after he beat Sonny Liston the first time.

* Robinson was Ali's hero. He knew the score.

floyd mayweather

Robinson lost too many fights to be the GOAT imo. But he shouldnt have been allowed to get into the ring against the likes of Liston.

Hagler would be my choice, and if we are talking heavyweights, i'd go for Joe Louis but its practically impossible to call.

hagler a good shout

No idea what that means??

Liston??

Calzaghe??

The problem is that few are willing to go back to the 40s and fifties when it was all about the middleweight division at it's peak and where all the crowds and money were. Robinson had over two hundred professional fights as seen in the link.


Any other boxer one knows about who did that?

* When was the last time sixty thousand attended a fight?

Sorry Stewarty was thinking of Floyd Patterson when posted Sugar Ray Robinson. My apologies.

Josh Taylor can't be far away

Carlos Monzon deserves a mention

been a few with more than 60,000.

If anyone cares to watch the link I put up when they have time, It's akin to Arkle carrying 10 stone in all it's races.

My earliest memory in life was listening to our radio in 1951 when Randolph Turpin defeated Robinson to win the World title at Harringay Arena. As for pound for pound fighters that would be far too difficult to say.

Benny Lynch, no contest.

sparrow, as seen in my link Robinson had a bad cut above his eye. It went the full 15 rounds and Turpin won on points due to Robinson having too many Parisian late nights but was shrewd enough to have written in the contract that if beat the re-match had to take place within 60 days.

Robinson destroyed Turpin in the re-match.

Two underrated World Champions worth a mention are Billy Conn and Alexis Arguello.

Hagler.

A good lawyer will tell you "Never ask a question you do not know the answer to" Respect enough to some or the posters but even stewyb seems to miss the point of his own question i.e lb for lb.

Many moons ago most who understood the sport agreed that Ken Buchanan fitted the bill,including many pro's.Since Ken there can be few if any who could match Marvellous Marvin?

Roy Jones has to be up there Stewarty.

Without doubt Duncan. Saw him fight a few times. Awesome. But he didn't have over 200 fights.


btw Duncan I trust you are well. Any news on Feck?

WTF is Roy Jones? FFS

Delila or Toms brother or sister?

FODC no one's interested in what you have to say, imbecile

Henry Armstrong
Had one of the greatest sporting years ever between November 1937 to August 1938. Going 27-0 with 26 knockouts. A 151-21-9 record which includes holding three titles all at once.

Hagler the best I have seen  , glad he had the sense to call it a day after the ludicrous Leonard decision .....a man who too should have stopped there and then.

The Rooster laid his egg on a thread that proves he/she is impotent and thick as pig shyte!!!

Cruiser weight!!

Dumb as soup!!!!

Sums you up rooster,a comment that makes no sense to anyone with an IQ above 6!!!

Thick as pig shyte..........a more accurate description of you........do you and the OP share the same war hero father btw?

comment that makes no sense to anyone with an IQ above 6!!!

It was your comment ya tard.

Grab a mirror moron..........1937......your comment is the Reference Point!!!

HTH

Am i not being truthful by insinuating you're as dumb as soup ?

I am assuming like the rest of the Forum that you are so intimidated and fearful of my superiority that you troll my user name like a dog following a female dog in season because you wish for something out of your reach!!!

Personally i think you're ungrateful especially as i put the picture you sent me of yourself in action as my profile pic.

Bow your head in shame.

No news on Feck Stewarty, sorry. Hope you are well.

glentoby:
re Ken Buchanan I used to see him boxing as a schoolboy in Scotland and as an amatuer. His brilliant future was obvious even then. The father of a girl who worked with me was his trainer at that time.
Did you see the recent BBC documentary "Undisputed The life and times of Ken Buchanan "  I came accross it on line.

rooster booster

WTF is Roy Jones ???

As I said before jimjast, Leonard himself said 'there's only one Sugar Ray' and he wasn't talking about himself.

Francis Lee

I agree with Duncan---my vote goes to Roy Jones Jnr.

Big 2nd favourite against Norman tiger but surprised everyone

In my opening post I put up a link. It's title is ...


'Sugar Ray Robinson-An American Legend'.


Why would the BBC title their Reputations programme by that name?


I've watched it many times and his record is second to none.


That said, you have to watch it before making any judgment.

All subjective of course but Roberto Duran has to rank highly given his record in 4 weight divisions and longevity,even though he kneed Ken Buchanan in the nuts to win by a tko.

Depends on the definition

Fighter
Tyson
Absolute raw power

Skilful
Leonard

Clever
Hitman

Awesome
Hagler

No fear - No more
Duran

Privilege to see all 5

I will always remember Roberto Duran for.. No Mas !!

The first fight with Leonard was the most exciting thing I'd ever seen as a kid.. I was certain Leonard would win the rematch and backed him accordingly 8/11 ish.. I must have won about £20....
