+Boxing's most entertaining writer picks the greatest fighters of all time.No one is more qualified to answer the time-honored question "who was the greatest fighter?" than Bert Randolph Sugar. In Boxing's Greatest Fighters, the former editor of The Ring magazine not only tells us who the greatest fighters are, but tells us the order of their greatness. Could [[Sugar Ray Robinson]] have beaten [[Muhammad Ali]]? Could [[Sugar Ray Leonard]] have beaten [[Sonny Liston]]? The answer, most experts agree, would be "no." But what if, as Bert Sugar has done here, one were to take all the boxers and "reduce them in the mind's eye to the same height, the same weight, the same ring conditions?" The answers come out a lot different.And while some fans may express outrage that [[Rocky Marciano]] is not in the top 10 and [[Marvin Hagler|Marvelous Marvin Hagler]] is barely in the top 50, others will nod sagely when they read why Sugar selects [[Henry Armstrong]] and [[Willie Pep]] as better than just about anybody else.So, whether you read Boxing's Greatest Fighters cover-to-cover, or merely flip to your favorites, be prepared, at the bell, to come out arguing. For Sugar makes "The Sweet Science" one helluva sweet quarrel.
