    Void will not fight Pac, not to mention several others. Void prefers to fight women, which makes sense since his trainer Roger likes to fight women!

    Floyd hasn't even been a dominant WW in this era.

    How the **** would he have been dominant in the past with no PPV's, no YouTube, and no 24/7 shows? How would "money" have coped?

    So, if you don't think he would have been - stay out of the thread?

    That's not a debate, that's backslapping. the only thing you're debating is the same answer over and over :rofl

    Look at all these *****... They trying hard to convince themselves that thier gay idol Jailweather would dominate SRR era and PAcquiao era.

    Did Floyd cleaned out the 147 division? Hell no!

    Same-day weigh-ins. In SRR's welterweight era, he was a lightweight by today's standards.

    Floyd is currently a middleweight by same-day weighin standards.

    I guess I'll go with Randy Turpin. He gave SRR his share of problems.

    Ah, almost forgot LaMotta. Before you bring up what Floyd did to Hatton, remember that it was a competitive fight, despite the best efforts of Joe Cortez. Remember also that refs way back then didn't much care if you mugged your opponent on the inside all night...Oh, and remember that LaMotta was just a teeny bit more durable than Ricky.

    Oh, and that if LaMotta fought today, he'd be a welterweight.

    No he wasn't, that's just not true at all.
    Floyd was 159 when he was retired and not training

    He said he entered the ring against Mosley weighing 147

    Floyd would have been dominant in Robinson's era because Locche, who didnt even fight in Robinson's era, and wasnt really dominant at the top level in his own, was successful? There's some problems with logic there.
