I think Ray Robinson was the greatest and his fight records prove it. I dont think people talk about him much becouse Muhamed Ali was in the spot light. Byfar Sugar Ray Robinson is one of the greatest all around boxers of his time and will forever be known by those who truly relize that the greater boxer isn't spoken of anymore.
