    Your right there is no evidence to show Mayweather has a lesser chin or heart than Robinson. But i choose SSR Because hes taken Big Punches off Bigger Punchers and shown loads of heart in wars against all time greats. Your right though.

    I think heart and chin will only be a factor in any h2h with mayweather after he loses or suffers a legit knockdown. Stamina will only come into play when mayweathers shows signs of wilting in a fight and can't do 40 minute rounds in training anymore.

    Let's just be real. Doing out a form like that shows us nothing as it's all about the legacy they leave, and SRR's legacy shits on mayweathers for obvious reasons. But being active of course he can help his cause for the years to come.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a better boxer than Ray Robinson was.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never quit on his stool due to exhaustion. How anybody can say Ray Robinson had better stamina than Mayweather Jr. does is beyond me.

    I think that great fighters can compete in any era,i have no doubt that todays top fighters(Pac,Floyd,Mosley) would also be great fighters had they fought in the 40's and 60's likewise with the past great fighters if they were fighting today:good

    the man nearly died, it was the doctor and the corner that stopped the fight when they saw the condition he was in

    Floyd has the benifit of fighting 12 round fights in air conditioned hotels

    Robinson beat better fighter than Floyd on his way up and was 128-1-1 before the Turpin fight. He would have stopped Floyd

    I agree as well.

    One thing - It annoys me that in a lot of sports the GOAT took part over a generation ago when most people who get on the band wagon will never have seen them play (Pele comes to mind). It's as though their legend grows with each day!

    These mythical titles given to boxers are somewhat irrelevant. I wish everyone could just agree that they're all great and leave it at that.

    Over and out...
