G.O.A.T Series: The Boxers
When the subject of Greatest of All-Time in any sport is brought up, it usually is a subjective debate.  After all, who’s to say what the criteria should be?  The same goes for boxing.  Over the past century, there have been many prize-fighters who’ve made their mark in the ring, but only a precious few can be included in the short list of G.O.A.T.

Sugar Ray Robinson

Any list of boxing’s greatest would be incomplete without Sugar Ray Robinson.  He dominated the 1950’s and at the peak of his career had 128 wins, a single loss, and 2 draws, with an astonishing 84 knockouts.  He defended his title and fought on an almost weekly basis for a time.

Julio Cesar Chavez

The Great Mexican Warrior, Julio Cesar Chavez holds the distinction of having the longest win streak in boxing history, at 13 years.  He went on unbeaten in staggering 87 bouts until his draw with Sweet Pea Pernell Whitaker.

Roy Jones Jr.

At his peak, many boxing experts hail Roy Jones, Jr. as the greatest pound-for-pound boxer.  His talent is unparalleled and is far and away the greatest fighter of the ‘90s.

Muhammad Ali

Self-proclaimed as the Greatest, Muhammad Ali revolutionized boxing as a sport.  He ushered in the second age of boxing, one that was a lot more commercially viable.  Ali changed the entire landscape of sports in general and is still considered by most to be the brightest light the boxing world has ever known.
