Disagreement and heated debates are common when there is an attempt to rank the best athletes of any sport.
Boxing is a sesquicentennial sport, so there is some difficulty in knowing all the athletes and many fighters who would never be part of the list of the 10 best in the sport, are commonly listed.
To further inflame this debate and meet the several times that readers have asked us, MMA Brazil decided to make its list of the best boxers of all time.
"Sugar" Ray Robinson is noted by most experts as the greatest of all time, weight for weight.
Sugar was born in Detroit in 1920 under the name Walker Smith Junior. He turned professional at the age of 20, after completing an undefeated amateur career with 85 wins (69 knockouts), 40 of them in the first round. Professionally, Robinson was world champion in the middleweight division between 1946 and 1951. The following year, he won the middleweight title by defeating the also legendary Jake LaMotta, who became known as his greatest rival.
Technically, Robinson was a complete fighter. Fast, ambidextrous, inventive, as well as knowing how to use all angles, and he practically invented new ones. "Sugar" took the leg game to the level of the art, with combinations like no one to date has done in a century of the sport.
Among his accomplishments, Ray was the first boxer to win the belt five times in the same category; beat boxing Hall of Fame fighters (Jake LaMotta, Henry Armstrong, Carl Olson, Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Kid Gavillan and Rocky Graziano); was responsible for the creation of the expression pound for pound, created to compare him with heavier fighters; was voted the greatest boxer of all time by ESPN, The Ring and stars Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali and "Sugar" Ray Leonard.
Henry Armstrong's greatest achievement was not becoming famous for being part of the select group of fighters who were champions in three different categories (in a period where there were only eight). He is a legend for having been champion in three categories (feather, light and middleweight), in 1938, AT THE SAME TIME. In addition, he defended his belt in 19 fights.
Armstrong's supernatural rhythm, his machine gun of punches that afflicted his opponent from all possible and impossible angles, and his ability to mislead his opponents so that he could knock them out were his main characteristics. He beat the biggest names of his era in a list that includes Barney Ross, Benny Bass, Lou Ambers, Chalky Wright and Fritzie Zivic.
Joe Louis was born in Alabama in 1914 and had an impressive career as an amateur boxer (50-4) before turning professional. He became world champion in 1937, and his reign as champion lasted 140 consecutive months, during which time he defended his title 26 times - a record among heavyweights. Among other marks, Joe defended the belt in 25 consecutive fights, 22 times by knockout. He was named the number one heavyweight in history by the International Boxing Research Organization and number one on Ring Magazine's list of the 100 greatest catchers of all time. In addition, he has been named Ring Magazine's fighter of the year four times (only Muhammad Ali is ahead with 5 nominations).
Of his defeats, only one, against Max Schmeling in 1936, happened before Louis retired and returned to the rings. Still, Louis subsequently beat him in a rematch, but that is just one facet of Joe. The American is considered the first African-American hero, as a result of his clash with German Max Schmeling who, although against his will, was a poster boy for Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime. The rematch between Louis and Schmeling was seen as the confrontation of the anti-Nazi black man against the representative of the German Aryan race. Louis' victory catapulted him as a national idol and earned him, in addition to fame, a strong friendship with Schmeling.
His given name was Cassius Clay, and under that nickname, Ali was an Olympic champion and won over 100 amateur fights. He was heavyweight champion for the first time in 1964, beating Sonny Liston, one of the greatest brawlers in history. During the preparation for his rematch against Liston, Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The change came as an influence of Islam and his friendship with Malcolm X.
Ali possessed a unique style in the ring. He was one of the fathers of trash talking and beat opponents of the calibre of Bob Foster, Ken Norton and Floyd Patterson. And when it comes to fighting legends, Muhammad Ali is unbeatable. His fights against Joe Frazier and George Foreman are the purest boxing history. Watching "Thrilla in Manilla" and "Rumble in the Jungle" is a must for anyone who claims to be a fight fan.
Considered the greatest featherweight in boxing history, Willie Pep was champion for the first time when he already boasted an undefeated career with 54 wins. He is the boxer with the record of official victories with an absurd 229 triumphs. Like Robinson, he won the category belt five times during his career.
In 1946, Pep reached the absurd mark of 18 fights in the same year, winning all of them. Willie is known for his absurd defensive ability, built with lateral movement and a legendary leg game. There is a legend, never confirmed, that Pep won a round without throwing a single punch against his opponent.
