This is an example of why you cannot compare fighters from different times boxers These days cannot hold a candle to the old-school fighters
A man who is a philanthropist will never want to be known as the man who gave to charity
Am glad we know now... He was portrayed as a scary man.. But in the ring and weigh ins I only seen him that way.. I could tell Duran had a heart
Hank Armstrong... amazing and.
Three titles, all at once. When there were only eight weight classes. And real titles. Undisputed.
Four, he was robbed in his title shot at middleweight.
The actual GOAT. I wish we had a time machine to go pick him up and drop him off in a match against Floyd Jr. See how long it takes for Henry to beat the arrogance out of him. And then beat the Pretty Boy out of him too.
unfortunately modern boxing rules prohibit boxers from having more than 1 title in any division.
@@jamesmills109 that’s not true...
@@Thor-OrionHe's somewhat correct. It used to be that way because they changed the rules because of Armstrong holding 3 at one time. Armstrong was the first to do it and they didn't want that to happen again. Back in the day,after Armstrong 3 division hold,if you were a Champion and wanted to move up or down in weight to win another Championship,you had to vacate the one you currently held before claiming another. This was way before there were 16 divisions and at the least 5 guys per division claiming to be Champion.
Ray Robinson : "I've never enjoyed boxing,it's just a business with me but I know I've never enjoyed it." Can you imagine what he would have done if he did enjoy it?
markyncole Man also didnt like to KO people, tho he has one of the best records there,he wanted mainly to outsmart them.Killing a person in the ring made him be more careful too
He would’ve bean undefeated for 200 fights
If SRR enjoyed his work he may not have been as good as he was. Perhaps Robinson had a split personality, a Dr. Jekyll outside of the ring and a Mr. Hyde in the ring
Most hate it. As you get older your body isn't as keen as it once was for being constantly under stress of training.
@@billycharlesI think that was more describing Ray Leonard
Grateful to have these documentaries
Great video!!!
Thank you :)
love this documentary, this is the first time i've seen it in its entirety, i've only ever seen the individual sections on each fighter
fantastic stuff!
I watched and recorded this when it first aired on HBO. HBO use to ha e the best boxing shoes and specials. Much better than showtime. USA Tuesday night fights with Sean O'Grady was better than showtime. Ferdie Pacheco made it unwatchable
Thanks for this !!
Sugar Ray is a Genious
wich one?
@@brothacaim Robinson, he was the best pound for pound boxer ever.
@@carlgilkes8775 seems like that..at least he is known for that
Love this Documentary

Very interesting. Great doc
great upload
Great documentary
Armstrong did own half of the titles, the middleweight title fight was fixed and they called it a draw..
i do fighter breakdowns, watch if you like the old school fighters!
Ok
ESPN Classic cut a lot of it.....The original that aired on HBO has more commentary and details!
Pity there is no film of Young Griffo... there was a great little fighter, Benny Leonard said at his funeral, "here lies the greatest boxer of all".
this should have alot more views
These champions are legendary. The list started with the cream of the crop and then it showed the crop.
On one hand technology,training and stuff envolved over the years but the fighters from the 70s,80s had will,heart and determination that nowdays boxers dont have.Those guys needed to fight and train more cause the payment was lower,and also most of the black boxer had to fight racism and stuff in their careers.You put those boxers in this modern time with better diet,gym and stuff,no boxer would stand more than 2 rounds with either of them.
Saskobest
You are absolutely right. Boxer from this generation can’t be compare with those of the past; strong, skilful. How a guy could be better with total 40 fights than those with 240fights and 146kos?
That’s amazing stamina and well power to do so over 2-3 decades.
Boxing differs from all other sports in one important respect - there is less competition today than ever before. You don't get this problem with other sports.
Basically there's no way anyone can become any good if they hardly ever fight. Today's fighters may have the potential to be good, but its a potential that's never fulfilled for this reason.
I will
This video was like the Mount Rushmore of boxers. Armstrong, Pep, Robinson and Duran are all in my p4p top 10 and very likely all are in my top 5..
VIVA ROBERTO DURAN!
Que Viva 🥊
Benny Leonard had the body of a neighborhood milkman.
comeback era benny
Sea level Benny.
And one of the best ever
To think that Willie Pep went 15 rounds with someone as dangerous as Sandy Saddler! That would be as if Muhammad Ali went 15 rounds with George Foreman with Big George energised all through the match!
Mad how the goat had frailties.. Scared of being alone he'd never have to worry bout it... Its human irrational fear... Its human to deal with it
13:00 😔😭😢
Pound for pound Robinson ,Roy Jones Jr,Grebb,Longford,Chavez,Sugar Ray Leonard.Though on their night the lists could be turned on their head of that i'm sure.
Boxing is different to other sports, they was all better and knew more because they fought+lost to the best, they also fought 15 rounds and reglularly. They rank above modern athletes in heart and toughness.. Do you think any lightweight today could stand-up against Duran? Or any super feather against Alexis Arguello? Middleweight to Hagler? Most WW wouldnt take Hearns.
i hate it when people proclaim manny pacquiao to best the best ever. he is far from it, a great boxer for sure but these guys fought 4 times as often as modern fighters do. many modern boxer avoid each other and this 4 belts per weight is a joke
dan smith who said that
Can you add subtitles
A lot of people who personally knew Ray Robinson said he was a real prick.
a punch is still a punch..thats all that matters..fighters today don't go 15 rounds like they used to..try learning a few th ings about boxing before making stupid comments, Ok?
Does anyone really think Money Mayweather and Pacman could match with those Great (little) Giants?
Floyd would beat all of those guys.
Pacquiao would beat all of them except maybe ray Leonard, MAYBE
Maybe
Yea absolutely
7:43 Henry Armstrong
They should've had Charley Burley on here
crazy watching the ray leonard segment now... after the revelations in his autobiography of the sexual abuse he suffered... makes a lot of sense.
Leonard twice ?? Names in the beginning
MmmmmmK
Love how they glossed over how Buchanan got robbed American tv programmes gotta love em
Fuck Buchanan.
14:15 LOL
Roach even said Duran would KO Manny. Arguello would KO any super feather.
When???
.boxing's little giants --sugar ray robinson ---Who was 5' 11"
marcxopoco i think they meant "non-heavyweight" fighters. because for years Heavyweight have always been the center of attraction in boxing. but pound for pound, they are not the best.
+marcxopoco Its not so much height as overall physicality; Robinson's fought as a Welterweight & then as a Middle so makes sense from that point of view to class him as one of the "little men"
5"11 was about average height in those times, and remember he wasn't a heavyweight so that's more than right.
Pony killer .
@RapedByRepublicans its so different that is true, most fights were descided by news paper writers at ring side, Jersey joe wallcott v joe louis, wallcott destroys him for 15 rounds then gets the descision. alot of greats and most of them only got called greats after they die/retire. boxing is all opinion no wright or wrong answer. hell i have favorite list best of all time list and there so different.
duran at lightweight would destroy anybody apart from maby mayweather
Duran wouldnt beat floyd, lomachenko, or pernell.
I think him vs Chavez wouldve been a great fight
@@botfields_hardcoregamer6401 he beats loma
@@botfields_hardcoregamer6401 wake up....cuz your dreaming
Damn, Henry Armstrong looks dead on George Foreman!
@RapedByRepublicans pac has the hunger to an extent he was dirt poor untill he was 21-22 even then he only had 5K per fight.
@RapedByRepublicans kid lewis one of the best p4p fighters ever and the best fighter to come out of england, no doubt you know your stuff, i liked emile griffith before he killed in the ring, ted kid lewis got cheap shoted by carpentier and we all know that carpentier got to fight dempsey after that, benny lynch one of the greatest fighters ever never trained proply in his life just drank whisky, gratziano, fulmer,bascilo, zale, pryor and many more i love HW the most
nice speaking to you.
Another black boxer like Joe Louis who too served his country.. And the IRS came after em... 4 what they did.. They should have not even considered to tax em after the fact... Am disgusted with the government
Watch Duran v S R Leonard first fight. Then tell me who is the greatest ever.
Its a pity Duran had to loose 40lb for the 2nd fight. If it wasnt for this fight Duran would easily be seen as the best ever.
Look at Alis fights. Liston appears to take dives in both. Fights Patterson who was squashed by Liston twice in 2 minutes.
Gets suspended. 4 years later comes back a poorer fighter. Beats some nobodies then gets thumped by Frazier in 71.
Goes on to beat Foreman then Frazier. Ali only beat 2 great fighters of his era. Duran beat 5 of his era. Most big named fighters like Tyson only beat fighters who were way below them. Tyson didnt fight a great fighter of his era because there was noone else.
But the build up to a Tyson fight was great entertainment worth the pay per view cost.
Liston tried to knock Ali out in the first fight and did get a couple hard shots in. No doubt he dove that second fight though.
Ray beat him in my opinion
Floyd Mayweather jr. And Manny Pacquiao Beats them all
I think SRR was gay.
You're gay.
What makes you think that
He was too much of a prick to be gay
Benny Leonard was a bum who fought nothing but bums. Why is he even on this video
Wrong
You wack a mustache and beard on Sugar Ray Robinson and I'm telling you - Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. Of course Gibb was the better fighter.
Sugar Ray Robinson, greatest fighter ever, at any weight. Sugar Ray Leonard, most overrated fighter ever.
You're halfway right lol.
Mayweather is the greatest boxer.
Leonard definitely overrated
@@botfields_hardcoregamer6401 Stop talking balls.
Benny Leonard is so overrated because he's Jewish. The Jewish press loves hyping him up like a GOD! He's not even in the topn10 of lightweights.
Michael Winkles no he is underrated. He is number 1 at the lightweights.
