I'm calling him the best pound-for-pound fighter of all time. I've seen enough. And, in fact, my mind was made up on this several years ago, but I just hadn't publicly memorialized my position on the matter.

Now I have.

And, yes, even better than Ray Robinson.

There have been boxers that have lost that were pound for pound better than him.

He just doesn't have the resume which is why even from this generation he's below Hopkins Pacquiao Marquez etc.

His best win is still the Corrals fight and sadly hasn't even fought anyone on that level since. Heck maybe I could of given him credit for beating Marquez but he didn't make weight for that fight.

He's one of the best, but I'm not saying he's the best. I'm too young to know about boxing when it was at its peak like my dad. He just tells me about all these old time boxers who he claims are the best ever.

fighter?? Ummmmm, no

Boxer? Maybe

But fighter? No

Dude isn't even a current top 500 fighter in the world. He's a solid technical puncher, but not a top tier fighter

His resume doesn't actually have any bearing on whether he is the best pound for pound fighter. You realize this, yes?

It's about how good he is, not who he has had to beat.
