Answer 3

It HAS to be Cassius Clay aka Mohammed Ali.  I used to watch him in the 60s and 70s and he was unbeatable.  Later on he had all sorts of illnesses, and I have looked after other people with the same problems, and it is very distressing.  But yes, Cassius Clay.

4 Rocky Marciano

5 Mike Tyson

Answer 15

its gotta be SUGAR RAY ROBINSON.

Answer 16

Mike Tyson!!!

If mad Mike had have kept his head.... No one would have ever beaten him.

he was an unbelievibly tough man with a ferocious punch... but not many people realised he actually was a counter puncher.. hard to hit and could hit hard.. Tyson in his hey day would have beaten anyone

Answer 17

Muhammad Ali or julio cesar chavez and his son

Answer 18

Well, it is between Floyd Mayweather and Muhammad Ali. The most controversial, one of the greatest fighter against the best of the best.

Answer 19

I would say Marvin Hagler during the time he stopped Hearns. He could have beaten almost any middleweight of any era during that time period. I still say he beat Sugar Ray and him losing that fight was bad for boxing.

Answer 20

Ray Robinson.

Answer 21

Nigel Benn had the hardest pound-for-pound punch ever.  I would rather watch the Dark destroyer fight than anyone else.

He offered to fight every Yank, in their own backyard, for no money.

They all refused cos they were scared.

What were they scared of?

Getting punched by Nigel Benn.

If it wasn't for the unfortunate McClellan episode, Benn would've been even more successful than he was anyway.

Nigel Benn is a legend.

Answer 22

If you asked God to build you a boxer, he would build you Sugar Ray Robinson.

Answer 23

Sugar Ray Robinson.

Answer 24

Richard Dunne - The sheer power with which he used to hit the canvas was legendary.

Answer 25

Best Pound For Pound "El Gran Campeon Mexicano" Julio Cesar Chavez. Julio Cesar Chavez was the most dominant, successful boxer in his weight class of all time. Ali, Frazier, Robinson got nothing on this Mexican phenom, as far as record, belts, title matches, and overall success and dominance in their weightclass 11 years as world Champion and undefeated. Mr.KO they called him during a time in Mexico. Fought the Best Fighters in his time and wasn't afraid to take a hit. Best Chin I've seen ever by a Boxer. There would never be another Julio Cesar Chavez.

Answer 26

rambo

Answer 27

SUGAR RAY ROBINSON, THEN HENRY ARMSTRONG

Answer 28

One of my favourite boxers is Tommy Hearns, great foot work, great defence and undoubtedly that infamous right hook/straight was a credit to him and his career.

Answer 29

Pound for Pound is Joe Gans

Answer 30

It is without a doubt, Sugar Ray Robinson.  He had everything that a quality fighter should have, and then some.  He also fought during one of the toughest eras in middleweight history and he beat all of the top middleweights of his era because he was never afraid to fight the top contenders.  Whats even more astonishing is that a lot of his career-defining wins came when he was past his prime; he was at his peak when he was welterweight champ and when he first moved up to middleweight.  Muhammad Ali said that he considers himself the greatest heavyweight of all time, but he stated that his idol, Sugar Ray Robinson was the best pound for pound fighter of all time.  Sugar Ray Leonard also said that there is no comparison between him and Robinson because Robinson was the greatest.

Answer 31

Maybe not ever, but Roy Jones jr. has to be at least considered on a pound for pound discussion
