Le me guess, Mark Johnson was the best?

As someone who doesn't follow the lower weights and a Too Sharp fan I take it your deadly serious about that statement

Yeah, although he was clearly one of the best lower weight fighters of his era and, on ability alone (mainly aesthetic quality although he essentially 'proved' himself against Rafa and Montiel past prime and above fly) but gets way overrated based on what he actually did...which was maintain a high ranking without fighting anyone very good.

But I'm a fan, same as I am a fan of Ricardo Lopez.

But I'm a fan, because I actually think that Too Sharp could fight unlike, say Ricardo Lopez.

Flea can't you let one day go by without taking potshots at the Great One.

ray would have busted that ass, floyd plays too much and Robinson didnt play at all...I sat Sugar wins by KO by the 8th maybe earlier.

Dick!

Sugar finds himself bedazzled by Mayweather's sublime skills & defence and precedes to get KO'd by the right hand counter from Floyd.

Overrated technician. Massively so.

In what way? I believe Robinson wins but I feel Floyd's getting the short end of the stick here; the kid is talented mate. I'm probably wrong anyways.

He's definitely very skilled and talented but who has he deployed his incredible skillset against to be seen as this stylistically infallible boxing God?
