Pound For Pound For All-Time The Greatest Was Sugar Ray Robinson

LAS VEGAS, NV-The Greatest Pound for Pound fighter of all time is Sugar Ray Robinson. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Boxing circles who would disagree here.

We often hear the term Pound for Pound and think of guys like Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr, and currently Manny.

When you say "The Greatest" many think of Muhammed Ali and the self proclaimed label...Overall without a shadow of doubt Ali was the greatest entertaining heavyweight champion we ever saw in the ring.

Robinson was 74-1 when he finally got a title bought against Tommy Bell. Robinson had 40 KO's at that point in the first round.

Robinson had epic fights as a Welterweight and a Middleweight. To detail those would make this article very long...
