    Floyd troubles Robinson but eventually gets figured out and caught. Even if Floyd manages to edge a decision, he would get decimated in a rematch.

    The "best" of Floyd isn't a WW, its SFW, and this matchup is lining him up against the greatest WW in history?

    Robinson is charged with attempted murder!!! Mayweather would NEVER agree to a fight with Ray Robinson...

    I never even saw Robinson fight during his prime. Did you? Silly to even make a pick here.

    There’s more than enough footage of Ray in order to form an opinion.

    Also, there’s no footage of Greb, yet you think that Floyd would definitely have beaten him.

    I'm truly shocked, it's not like you to apply double standards to suit your agenda. Just not like you at all, lad.

    Yes, I do apply different standards for fighters from 1920 and eras decades later. That’s correct.

    How does that make sense then?

    You’ve just contradicted yourself.
