From those I have seen Robinson.
From what I have read I will go with Robinson.
From what I have seen there are several fighters above Robinson, almost all the video available is when he was well past his best.

Roy Jones. Boxed the ears off Toney and Hopkins. His speed was near impossible to deal with.
Shame his legacy is affected by him fighting on far too long and his link to PEDs.

Also, looks like the last 5 posts have been duplicated from the previous page. Probably a glitch in the matrix or somethin'.

So you don't rate boxers from the past. Big deal. Achilles might not have even existed. Greb did. Get over yourself man.
it's a joke you dounut , some of you are as bad as bible bashers ,you can't see anyone else's opinion..
let's be honest you haven't a clue how good greb was just as i have no idea how good gypsy gem mace was because you haven't seen him box you are only repeating something someone else was told who in turn is repeating what he was told it's like some saying that the beatles are the greatest band ever they had more records than anyone ,more number ones and a longer career which all sounds good BUT you have never heard them so how can you claim something you have never heard as the best ,you may hear them and realize that in fact you don't think they are that great.
the best fighter i have seen was sugar ray leonard
Arguably the dumbest post I've ever seen. From front to back. So I'm just going to assume you're trolling.[/quote]
You were right with just dumb.

Walker Smith JR. I know it may be cliche but that's how I feel

Greb. He looks to have a stronger resume than Ray Robinson.

I think you cannot go on records alone-there are many fighters with great records-look at Ricardo Lopez as an example. But for me personality, charisma, entertainment-men who transcended the sport-are also big factors for me. I dont care who had a better resume than SRR (although at his peak hard to find any better) the man had charisma. He was pure entertainment, vicious, ruthless.
Then for me again taking the above into account Roberto Duran would be a close second.

I think Robinson actually has the best "resume" though a few others like Greb and Langford are close. (A lot depends on how much consideration you give to Newspaper Decisions.) Armstrong, Ali, and Charles are also in the neighborhood.

Achillies sucks at boxing, he wasn't even a boxer :-)
My man Theagenes of Thasos was the real deal... unbeaten for 22 years with 1300 wins.
Great boxer of all time.
He was also great at Pankration (the ancient MMA)... Combining the 2 disciplines he had more than 2000 victories by knockout.
I correct my self, best fighter of all time

He was just so good that people didn't believe anyone who told stories about him and they started to say that he was mythological.
