    Sugar Ray Robinson lost 19 times. That speaks volumes. He put his reputation on the line and EARNED the reputation, as one of, if not the ,Greatest boxers ever to lace up a pair of gloves. Since Floyd fought Hatton in 2008 he has fought a further 4 times. In SRR last year as an active fighter he fought 14 times. Floyd has won by KO 26 times the other 17 fights he had to rely on a points win. SRR won by KO 108 times and only had to rely on a points win 38 times. Offensively Sugar had not just the killer instinct but the intelligence to get that KO even when faced with the most negative and defensive fighters. He had great power in both hands and immaculate footwork that would have given Floyd nightmares. Personally having not seen Floyd fight live I can honestly say that Sugar in the fights I have seen on record beats him aesthetically, technically and by any other criteria with which one could wish to judge him. Who has Floyd rematched ? It's easy to pick out Jake LaMotta and think well Floyd would have handled him as easily as Hatton but Floyd would never had fought him 5 times and would not have had the luxury of Cortez. I am a huge Hatton fan but you must be wearing Rose colour specs if you really think Kostya was one of the all time greats on his division while saying of Sugar "He dropped decisions to nobodies all over the place". Sugar beat legendary fighters like Henry Armstrong,Kid Gavilan, and Carmen Basilio all of whom rank equally if not higher in the all time great lists for their weight class.
