It's funny because I've been on a huge SRR kick this last week or so, I've gone back and watched a lot of the old fights that I haven't seen in many years.

Sugar Ray was a great fighter, a true ATG legend in the sport, and actually stayed very good even into his late 30s and early 40s!

That being said... I think he benefits greatly from the "era bias", where the "experts" pass down this message that he was the greatest fighter who ever lived until it becomes gospel that everyone recites. People watch the highlight videos, they read the great stories of victory but they don't study the old fights with a critical eye.

As far as being the greatest in-ring talent of all time... I don't buy it. I think there were better technicians in the ring - Floyd and Pernell included.

And I'll say that other than having a clear punching power advantage over Floyd, I really don't see what he did better than Floyd in the ring. Floyd was the superior talent and I would pick him to win a (probably boring) decision in a fight that would largely be a fencing match.

Sugar Ray all the way! Robinson was one of those boxers who could produce the delayed KO! It's been a long time wish of mine to see Floyd, tippy-toeing across the ring with his chin behind his shoulder and then collapsing in his own corner after absorbing a KO punch from Robinson!
I know, I'm a mean spirited little bastard! I can't help it.

Very easy answer Sugar Ray Robinson as he was a true welterweight and would smash that little shit around the ring as would have Ray Leonard and Hearns.

Floyd started at the lower weights so I have to give the wanker a break.

Sugar Ray is my favourite band.

I really hate to say it but after watching a lot of Ray Robinson footage I think he would have lost by decision to Money. I believe speed would have been the deciding factor because Ray was fast but Mayweather was faster and would have picked off Rays wide looping punches. Don't get me wrong SRR had power in both fist and could have made it real interesting up until the final bell.

Agree with everything but the last sentence I refuse to give that little shit a break

I'll agree mostly with this. Even barring any rule, contract, promotion or other manipulations... Floyd has the defensive experience and strategy on "winning" 12 round boxing matches and benefits from evolutionized training, nutrition, medicine, supplements and other modern conveniences. He specializes in pot shotting and staying away long enough to win a 12 round decision. Boxer vs. Fighter...Floyd decisively earns a decision in the ring. Ray Robinson wins a fight to the death anywhere else.
