Again, not basing this off stats, Robinson was a much better boxer. Robinson is probably the greatest boxer ever including Ali. He reeled off impressive wins over I believe Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano and Henry Armstrong, although I'm not 100% on that last one. He was an incredible middleweight and welterweight, and is the best pound for pound boxer of all time.

As I stated previously, besides Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky didn't really beat anybody. I remember reading that Rocky was going to have a comeback match against Ingemar Johansson, but decided against it. I'm sure Rocky had visions of him knocking out Joe Louis in Louis's last fight ever: an overthewhill fighter embarassing himself. Johansson would have murdered him.
