The legendary Sugar Ray Robinson has beaten fellow boxing icon Muhammad Ali to be crowned the best boxer of all time.

Sugar Ray's illustrious fighting career and influence has frequently placed him inside the top 10 boxers of all time.

And Yardbarker placed the boxing Hall of Famer, who passed away in 1989, top of the pile in a star-studded list of boxers.

Ali, who is widely regarded by many fans as the best boxer of all time, finished behind Sugar Ray on Yardbarker's rankings.

Henry Armstrong and Harry Greb came third and fourth respectively, while Willie Pep rounded off the top five.

Floyd Mayweather, who has previously called himself the GOAT boxer, shockingly failed to make the top 10.

The 43-year-old American superstar retired from boxing in 2017 with an unblemished 50-0 record.

Mayweather's rival Manny Pacquiao finished ahead of 'Money' with a 13th-placed ranking.

Other boxing legends to crack the top 25 include Rocky Marciano, George Foreman and Joe Louis.
