I think most here would agree that Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time in terms of skill, accomplishments, and overall career.
But if for One Night you had to pick a fighter who was at the peak of their performance who would you pick? Throw some names out there and discuss. I'm rolling with Roy Jones. This post has been edited by damarvelous1: May 7 2009, 12:55 PM |

There are also long forgotten fighters like Mickey Walker who is one of the finest ever to lace them up & forgotten legends like "The ghost with the hammer in his hands" (awesome nickmane IMO) Jimmy Wilde.
Those guys had the mad skills & accomplishments far above their true weight class & proved it time & time again against the very best they could find. I hate to think how many world title belts that Walker would have won today 5, 6, 7 division titlist? |

Hell naw,I was just thinking Mickey Walker myself..He is one of the most forgotten legends..I was really surprised no one said Benny Leonard before me as well..I'm sure you were thinkin his name though..I'm real glad you have a good knowledge of the oldies like me.. |
