That's exactly why I can't go against you, haha. Luv ya, pal.![]()
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
Pac has a looooooooooooong way to go before he even gets near SRR.
I agree average modern day boxers would beat average old timers. Actually it is unfair.... we learned from this old timers, better technique, nutrition, training.....
of course Kobe Bryant will beat Pistol Pete
Usain Bolt will beat Jessie Owens
Pac might beat him if they are the same weight, but SRR
is greater than Pac. What would happen if SRR has
the same training, nutrition ...... of this generation?
Even if he beats Floyd in the near future (which is impossible), he still won't be SRR. Nuff said.
The only present fighter that deserves to be mention along the lines of Robinson is Prince Nasem what a legend he was...

This thread is a testament to how visionary I am. LOL.
Ridiculed and laughed at, I stood my ground and patiently waited for the time my vision will come to pass....and now...... I'm vindicated after 2 years.
To Pac,
Thank you Pac for proving me right. You are now being talked in the same breath as SRR.
Mayweather compared himself to SRR but he doesn't have the guts to do it. That's why he will never be as great as SRR.
I compared you to SRR but you wouldn't allow yourself to be compared to the great SRR and because of that you deserve more than ever the honor of greatness alongside SRR. I don't believe in reincarnation, but you are the reincarnated SRR for me.
All you have to do now is KNOCK DOWN PBF before the 10th round and you will be GOAT for me and for many unbelievers.![]()

Obviously you cant compare the boxers of old to the current ones in terms of who would win a fight. Thats completely unfair to them. Practically every current NFL team (still not sold on the browns, loins lol) would beat the 85 bears or the 72 dolphins. But you can only be great relative to your time. No one dominated like those two teams did which is why they are considered to be two of the greatest of all time and not the 2009 steelers. And to whoever made the jesse owens comment, i dont know what track you've involved in but owens name is still revered. Hell, the reason why usain bolt is being talked so such levels is because hes destroying everyone LIKE jesse once did.
Manny is great but he's nowhere comparable to robinson. Robinson dominated many of the sports all time greats and was 40-0 before losing to another all time great in jake lamotta in a rematch who outweighed him by 16 pounds. and he still ended up beating him five of there six fights. Where as many of mannys big wins/fights have question marks surrounding them. The very arguable draw and narrow win against jmm, the old weight drain de la hoya, i wont even count ricky hatton lol and is cotto even the same fighter since margartio and without a real trainer.
We can put manny in the same sentence as robinson when over 60% of boxing analysist and reporters give him first place vote of greatest of all time, when practically every other LEGEND of the sport says your the greatest of all time like ali, lamotta, louis and leonard. or when he beats people of the same caliber of basilio, graziano, armstrong, etc.
Interesting how this topic could result in fixed positions that there will never be another Sugar Ray Robinson.
Of course there will never be another Sugar Ray.
Before Roberto Duran, I didn't think that any boxer could
equal Sugar Ray, Willie Pep and Henry Armstrong with
such greats as Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Eder Jofre and
Jimmy Wilde dancing in the shadows.
Then came Roberto Duran and where do we place him ahead of
Armstong and Pep or behind them.
Now Pacquiao leaves us wondering where he will end-up on the
top ten list of all time. There is still time for him to complete
his journey before placing him ahead of Robinson, Armstrong,
Pep, Ross or Canzoneri, but at this stage of the journey he should
be placed in the top ten. However, his defeating the "Mayflower"
is no guarantee for a top five spot.
