Errol Spence Jr entered the greatest debate of all time, believing that one man deserved to be recognized as the greatest warrior in history.

On a pound-for-pound basis, many seem to consider Sugar Ray Robinson to be the ultimate GOAT, as evidenced by his victories over 10 Hall of Famers.

These triumphs included iconic victories over the likes of Jake LaMotta and Cuban great Kid Gavilan, while the American also avenged his loss to Randolph Turpin in 1951.

Ultimately, Robinson retired with a professional record of 174-19-6 (109 KOs), becoming a multiple-time welterweight and middleweight world champion.

However, despite his extraordinary achievements, others argue that Muhammad Ali – who defeated eight later hall of famers – is actually the uncompromising GOAT.

“The Greatest” retired with a professional record of 56-5 (37 KOs) before sadly passing away in 2016, leaving behind a remarkable legacy both in and out of the ring.

Considerable victories include victory over George Foreman and Joe Frazier, while Sonny Liston and Ken Norton are among the other Hall of Famers he has surpassed.

That’s why Spence said Premieres of boxing champions this heavyweight legend Ali is simply the greatest fighter of all time, and his accolades dwarf even Robinson’s.

Meanwhile, Spence, when asked to name the greatest jab of all time, pointed to heavyweight icon Larry Holmes and former two-division world champion Junior Jones.

In terms of punching power, “The Truth” couldn’t pick a winner among Norton, Mike Tyson and Julian Jackson, but quickly replaced Ali as the main GOAT.

Canelo Alvarez no longer holds the super middleweight world title, but that doesn’t stop many of his 168-pound rivals from targeting him for a fight.

Alvarez lost for the first time at super middleweight when he was overtaken by Terence Crawford last yearbut the 35-year-old will have the opportunity to reclaim the WBC belt upon his return in September when he fights recent champion Christian Mbilli.

A victory will see Canelo enter the next era of the super middleweight division as a man with a target on his back, as a host of fresh operators jostle for a lucrative take on the four-division world champion.

One of those fighters is Diego Pacheco of California, who was ready to fight for the WBO super middleweight title against Hamzah Sheeraz until the latter withdrew his offers and did not allow Sheeraz to fight Al Begic, who was stopped within two rounds by the Briton.

In an interview with ESNEWSPacheco cited his three-man hit list, which included both Canelo and Sheeraz, as well as WBA super middleweight titleholder Jaime Munguia.

“[Jaime] Munguia, [Hamzah] Sheeraz and Canelo, [that is who I want]. I think me and Munguia will go the distance, I will stop Hamzah Sheeraz, and me and Canelo will also go the distance, but I will definitely win all three.

Pacheco recently extended his contract with Matchroom Boxing and hopes to maintain his unbeaten record of 25 fights when he appears on home turf against Immanuwel Aleem on the Cruz-Bell card on Saturday, July 18.

“I think people are so unaware that they don’t even understand that for me, just like with Zuffa, they have one lane, one lane only. How wouldn’t that facilitate pristine up the boxing?” Shakur told the Daily Mail. “It would be very helpful for the sport of boxing.”

Shakur also criticized the current landscape, which includes WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO champions.

“If we have four different belt organizations, the fans will complain that this champion is not fighting this champion, this champion is not fighting, and this is mandatory. It becomes a whole clown show,” Shakur said.

The WBO welterweight champion’s comments are noteworthy because his own path to the 140-pound title was governed by the current system.

After moving up from lightweight, Shakur challenged Teofimo Lopez for the WBO title without first fighting many of the division’s top contenders. A single-belt structure built around the rankings would likely require fighters to advance through a contender’s ladder before receiving a title shot.

If boxing were to adopt a true one-belt model, Shakur could find himself in a position to earn a championship shot against the likes of Ernesto Mercado, Andy Hiraoka, Gary Antuanne Russell, Alberto Puello, Dalton Smith and Oscar Duarte.

Each one presents a different challenge. Mercado has become one of the hardest hitters in the division while also displaying impressive hand speed. Hiraoka provides size and power. Russell is considered one of the most aggressive pressure fighters in the division. Smith, Puello and Duarte have established themselves as legitimate contenders.

The same problem would exist if Shakur returned to lightweight. Floyd Schofield, Gervonta Davis, Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla and William Zepeda would likely be in the title race.

Zepeda’s pressure caused hard moments in his fight against Shakur last year, raising questions about how the single-belt system will affect fighters who currently have multiple paths to a championship shot.

Still, Stevenson remains confident that the single-lane design will improve boxing.

“I think everyone will fight each other like this,” Shakur said.

The question is whether Stevenson would face a deeper and more unsafe path in the system he supports than the one that helped him win the 135- and 140-pound titles.
