I'm with you on this one fightfan best boxer ever THE ONE THE ONLY SUGAR RAY ROBINSON he had it all grace, skill, power,durability,& charisma by the bucket full.
Sugar Ray fought too many toilet cleaners in his career so i'm going to have to go with Lennox Lewis.
He would defeat any and every boxer in the last century period

God here goes, mainly on style, but some I've only read about too and studied their history through the weights and can only imagine.
Sugar #1, there is only one.
Wille Pep; one of the only fighters I suspect could think and work out of both sides of his brain which relayed into both feet and both hands.
MUHAMMAD ALI for the man and the moments in and out of the ring.
Sullivan ,for fighting for 2 hours and 16 miniutes then gettting a Ko without gloves on.
Harry Creb for Balls going up in weight and clubbing Gene Tunney for the heavyweight title.
Gene Tunney 77-0-1 for working out how to beat Creb in a rematch and doing it on skill .one fight questionable his second against Dempsey.
LEN HArvey although Im not sure about his skills,he has a great record that spans all weight divisions in a tough time of fighters; so he must have been great.as they say he came out of a twenty year carera beaten a couple of times but unmarked.
Took the British heavyweight title giving away 28lb or 13 kilos near the end of his time! has to have been a great.
The ROCK ; Im not sure on the skill levels and if he would get away with chopping down with the blade of his hand in these days of tighter rules I think he would be dq'd ; but for a little tacker in with the tougher heavies of old, he was made of steel.
JAck Johnson from the days around 1900 ,when the search for the great white champion of the world were on in earnest ..deserves a mention for being the one great Black man to place a well aimed fist into those white spokes
Joe Louis ,fought many ex world champs and finished them.fought many bums too but held the heavyweight championship for over 11 years in hard times with harder fighters around.
Gettting to more modern fighters
Chavez
Azuma Nelson
more recently probably Lopez.
1... u should not phase boxers as toilet cleaners!
2 so ur saying hearns , duran, hagler , norris , camacho, howard , benitez,were not good fighters ... u dont no much about boxing if u rate lennox lewis that highly ,he was lucky to win against ray mercer,dont get me wrong lennox lewis was a all round fighter , he took some fighters too lightly , ie mcCall 1 and rahman 1.. thats why he lost.also he always does just enough to win, which doesnt make for a good fight .

The obvious ones, Ali, Robinson etc,Ali was my personal fav although i loved Salvador Sanchez, a man who beat{ i think} 6 future world champs before he was tragically killed.

One of the best boxers of all time has got to be the one and only "ROCKY MARCINANO!"His record was and still is unbelievable!49 undefeated bouts,7 heavyweight title fights in a 9 year boxing career reigning from March 1947 until he announced his retirement on April 27 1956.And his unbeaten record still stands in this present day!Will anyone match or beat that record?Well i'll let his reigning record career do the talking...and it says,"LEGEND ALWAYS!"
