    So what if he already beat today’s MW champ?

    He didn’t beat him when he was at MW did he?

    He wouldn’t even fight him at JMW.

    Ha!

    So how would he have fought a great fighter at MW, If he had issues with fighting a JMW at JMW?

    You’re too much.

    Rational logic?

    Yeah.

    Like:

    He’d have fought Ray at 160, because he fought Canelo 7 years ago who happens to be a MW champ today?

    If you looked at Floyd’s actions throughout the years, you’d see that it’s illogical to think that he’d have fought Ray.

    Don’t forget, we’re looking hypothetically at McGrain’s scenario.

    In McGrain’s scenario, Ray would have beaten Manny and wiped out the other guys beforehand.

    So there’s no way Floyd was fighting a guy who’d have done that.

    If you really want a definition of rational logic, here it is:

    If he wouldn’t fight the best fighter of his own era when he was in his prime, then he wouldn’t have fought an even better and bigger threat, who’s perceived to be the GOAT.

    If you think otherwise, then you’re kidding yourself.

    He wouldn’t fight a JMW at JMW, he wouldn’t let Maidana wear his gloves, yet he’d have had no issue fighting Ray Robinson?

    Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

    Sort yourself out.

    I've never once said he'd fight him at MW, do you even read the posts you quote?

    I said I'm sure he'd face Robinson at some point, to try (and fail) to argue against me you listed a bunch of fighters that Mayweather faced at some point.

    Chalk this one up as a loss now, it's getting embarrassing.

    I never said he'd fight at 160.

    I never said anything about McGrain.

    What are you going on about?

    At some point, isn’t McGrain’s scenario, genius.

    You’re the embarrassment.

    You said to Lance that you think he’d have fought Robinson at 160, because he fought the current MW champ.

    Do you want me to quote it for you?

    Why do you keep banging on about McGrain. I never once mentioned him or his scenario.

    I made a comment in a thread started by the OP.

    I said I've no doubt face him at some point.

    You replied to that post. Not McGrain, you.

    Jesus christ. Learn some comprehension skills will you.

    It's already been established no one (apart from Lance) was considering this thread to be about a MW fight.

    Robinson is the best WW of all time.

    Floyd has never fought at MW, he has fought at WW.

    It should be inherently obvious this rhead is discussing a WW fight.

    When have I once mentioned McGrain or his scenario?

    All I said was I'm pretty sure he'd have faced Robinson at some point.

    Your replied to that post, I don't even know what this scenario is you keep bleating on about.

    The thread is about what Floyd would try to insert into a contract to make the fight happen.

    Okay.

    I owe you an apology.

    I thought you were also looking at McGrain’s hypothetical scenario with me and Lance.

    You weren’t.

    I’m sorry about that.

    I just don’t think Floyd would have fought Ray, due to how he carried himself throughout his career.

    Not if Ray had’ve been anywhere near his best.

    It didn’t take risks like that.

    No worries.

    I don't think he'd have faced Robinson at his best either.

    I do think at some point in time, had their careers overlapped, the fight would happen though, even if it was 5 years too late like Pacquiao.
