By who was best? you're acting like you're subjective opinion about who is best was supposed to influence my choice of who I thought was best!
Nobody beats Sugar Ray Robinson or Sugar Ray Leonard let's get that straight right now. And you be hard pressed to find anybody who could be the prime Julio Cesar Chavez. That's why they are ranked 1 2 & 3. There's no question that LaMotta and Trinidad with the least talented of the lot and so that's why they're ranked 7th and 8th

I suspect Robinson with the health benefits of this era would be at least 6'3" and 175lbs if he were around today. With training camps, proper dietary methods and only fighting two/three times a year, Robinson might have retired unbeaten in 60/70 fights with titles from Super Middle up to Heavyweight.

65 years since he beat bobo olson they showed one of his fights against him and he was perfect.
Robinson would have been a multi weight champion. Sugar man was the original money man and negotiated hard for his money. He would make Floyd look like Gandhi when it comes to getting every last dollar.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
