    I don't agree, but I understand his point of you. I don't know any boxer who is at the top of his game that openly admits they aren't the best. It's part of a mental focus I think you need to have to be on top of the sport

    SRR had power in both hands. Watch his KO of Rocky Graziano. Also watch his KO of Fullmer, and Bobo Olson. The man was incredible. And most of that stuff was when he was past his best. SRR would have destroyed Floyd. He was 5'11" and worked off his jab. How the hell would Mayweather keep SRR off him. Floyd is a great fighter, but he is not in Robinson's league.

    Robinson had more power than Floyd but that's the only category where he clearly excells.

    Not in his league? Were La Motta and Turpin in Robinson's "league"? If you think Floyd Mayweather is easy for anyone you don't know **** about boxing and probably picked Pavlik last night to boot.

    The guy is talking **** basically!

    Fighters in the modern era who ARE in Robinson's "league" skill wise.

    Leonard, Benitez, Duran, Hearns, Hagler, Whitaker, Pryor, Jones Jr, Hopkins, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Toney, Mosley, MAYWEATHER

    Would they all beat him? Hell no! Would they give him a fight? You better ****in believe it! Therefore they are in his league! You feel me?

    if mayweather ends up beating shane and paqciaou later...will yall agree with this statement?

    In my eyes...if may beats Shane, pac, and either Berto/kahn/cotto..then retires ....he's the best ever in my eyes. Nobody went undefeated with wins over top competition at this age and stage of their career.

    Also people like to underestimate all the people he's beaten that were supposedly the bests at the time...until may got to them

    Lets see:

    Hatton
    Judah
    Corrales
    Hoya
    Marquez
    castillo
    Mosley
    Pac
    Berto/cotto/Kahn


    ..if his list ends up like this and he's undefeated...you can't deny anything that man says..

    Put it this way, PBF would never fight a guy like Jake La Motta, but SRR fought him how many times? 6?

    PBF is nothing in boxing history.

    he just named a shyt load of fighters who have proved it....and who the fukk can mayweather beat now that would amount to the names on SRR's list?

    Matter of fact tell me who does he have to fight in your eyes to compare then?

    True, but I think if Mayweather hangs them up with his 0 still intact he will be boxing history for a different reason.

    The "What would of happened if mayweather fought [good boxer he avoided here]" reason.

    I appreciate PBF's confidence in himself, It's his ignorance of ATG's that is disrespectful.
    (You can think that all you want, Just keep it to yourself....)
