    Floyd is not saying this to annoy or wind people up. I believe Floyd does really believe he is better than Robinson. Basically, Floyd has confidence & we can't knock him for that!

    However, I have for along time said P4P Numbers 1 & 2 are sealed, bolted shut, on lockdown. They belong to Mr Robinson & Mr Armstrong, respectively!

    I do have to admit, obviously everyone has diffrent views on Floyd, but he (and pacquiao) are the first boxers since DLH I think that pretty much anyone I talk to nowadays has at least heard of. Thats good for boxing.

    why is that because you're still mad he beat the dog **** out of the guy in your avatar (r.i.p.) made him look like a mere amateur, like he does everyone else including sugar shane.

    remember when ali was yelling he was the greatest and was a bad man! the majority of ppl hated him for saying that, it took time for ppl to see the greatness of ali. gtfo here he was a black muslim, a draft dogder and talkin a bunch of **** constantly. so don't act like he was loved and hailed as the greatest back then. he was only loved by black community and zaire (lol)!!

    ps 1st paragraph obviously is directed @ j griz 2nd part directed @ everyone.

    He still is a Muslim (forget black, anykind will do) and a draft dodger. I personally believe Ali (outside the ring) is a piece of **** who made his career critizing this country yet, never chose to vacate.

    The difference is that Ali was the greatest fighter in the history of his weight class and he fought every top guy around in his era, including guys who were supposed to beat him like Liston and Foreman. Can you honestly say that about Floyd? No.

    Muhammed Ali IS NOT the greatest heavyweight of all-time. Joe Louis is.

    Of course I was mad Gatti lost, he is my favorite boxer. But I wasn't pissed that Mayweather beat him, Mayweather showed up and did his job like I wanted Gatti to do.

    Why the **** would I be mad at a boxer because he beat my boxer? Thats stupid. Sure I get attached to the guys I follow, but it happens all the time, I give credit where credit is due, and Mayweather is a terror for anyone he fights. Why because he's a good boxer.

    I take it that you didnt read the post where I said I wasn't biased. Either that or you just wanna get some people to type some **** to you cause youre bored.

    I have Joe Louis as the 2nd greatest HW of all time. The reason is his only fault - slow feet but that is another argument. The point is that Ali backed up what he said against everyone of note in his era.

    that is not my point and for the record ali is the greatest fighter of all time...my personal all time favs are iron mike and floyd jr. my point was @ the time of ali saying he was the greatest people were calling bull**** and flat out did not like guy b/c he talked to damn much!

    Mayweather may not be better than Robinson, but the guy is a truly special fighter. People have recently tried to denegrate him by saying he just picks on smaller fighters. However, throughout pretty much his entire career, he's fought bigger guys. Marquez is reall ythe first guys since Jesus Chavez that was smaller than him. People will point out Hatton, but Hatton was fighting for about a year or two at 140 before Mayweather made his professional debut at 130 lbs. With that being said, the guy can't simply rely on his physical strength and power when he gets into trouble like many fighters do. This guy has to outhink his opponent. He has to be pretty much perfect everytime out given his fighting style. That's extremely hard to do.
