    Broke? The guy is going to make 40 million dollars on May 1st. He will make close to 50 mil when he fights Pac. He has a 25 million dollar mansion in Vegas. He has a Rolls Royce, a Cadillac, and a Ferrari. LMFAO @ Floyd Mayweather Jr. being broke. AWWW HAHA

    He is no better than DLH and Mosley on their prime. He just cherrypicks his opponents
    to remain undefeated. Pacman is the best at the momment since he has ball to fight
    anybody.

    Let me explain something to all you people who force yourself to believe that Mayweather has tax problems just becuase you hate him so much. If you owe the IRS ANYTHING, they do not hesitate to collect. When Evander Holyfield got into tax trouble, what happened? They repossesed his mansion, IMMEDIATELY. If Floyd had tax problems, that house you see on 24/7, those Ferraris and Rolls you see, they would be GONE.

    :patsch Wow, you didn't just say that....yes you did just say that

    SRR COLLAPSED in the ring he didn't quit against Maxim. His body could give no more and the fight had to be stopped. In fact TWO DIFFERENT REFEREES passed out just reffing the fight and had to be replaced. If Floyd can fight someone the size of Lucian Bute(a rough equivalent of the natural size SRR gave up to Maxim) in 100 plus degree weather for 15 rounds while boxing and moving the whole time to have a chance against his much bigger opponent(and at an advanced age too) then maybe I'll say his stamina is superior. If he could fight 15 brisk rounds(as in like Robinson did with a solid workrate against the likes of Fullmer, LaMotta, Basilio) then maybe....maybe you could have a case to legitimately say that.

    Don't go revisionist on SRR to make Floyd look better. Be objective about what they both have done, not done, or have yet to do(though let's face it, Floyd and no other modern fighter will ever get the chance to showcase if they have 15 round stamina)

    But, Robinson didn't go 15 against Maxim.

    Kid Gavilan was a better welterweight, looks better on film overall, is to be rated much higher pound for pound :good

    Robinson's best weight was 147. He was fighting a light-heavyweight, past his prime, in 104 degree weather so humid that the fight needed two referees when the first one succumbed to the heat after 10 rounds :good

    :roll: So therefor Floyd automatically would then....yeah sure ok. I'm not sure exactly where in your reasoning that says Floyd would do better than Robinson in those documented circumstances.

    I greatly respect Floyd but I'm realistic about him too. He's a great fighter but he's NOT way better than any of Ray's competition. If he was then he would convincingly beat Charley Burley(the one man SRR openly avoided like he was a leper) Floyd would not CONVINCINGLY beat Burley if he did manage to. He'd have his hands full with any top welter of Robinson's era because what he has chose to face at 147 is sorry compared to the killers Robinson fought(Bell and Gavilan in particular)
