    I think he's referring to SRR being the greatest of the 20th century and Floyd being the greatest of the 21st.

    And LaMotta had a top 3 Granite Chin (underrated defensive wise) and very good pressure fighter. Better stamina than Mayweather too.

    So lets not go there.

    When you factor in LaMotta's opposition (He ****ing fought LHW's and was never sapped of his energy) and the fact he went 15 rounds many times, I can say with honesty he had better stamina.

    Mayweather may be talented but doesn't have the resume.

    Simply compare his resume to the ATGs and you have your answer. A resounding no. He doesn't even have the best resume of his own era. Plus, the greatest of all time doesn't manufacture a fake retirement to avoid the best Welters at their best while watching them go to war with each other, then come out of this fake retirement to challenge the last men standing. I can't see anyone admiring this move, unless you're a fan of Floyd first, and boxing second.

    Simple as...

    No he isn't. Although he is talented, you can't even legitimately put him in that conversation.

    No. He doesn't have anything like the depth of resume.

    How's your Top 100 list coming along?

    Haven't check that thread since it was only 5 pages.

    You locked that list or still adding/removing some?

    Yea, the TS hates him. He was just shitting on him in another thread.

    95% of These types of threads are NOT started by Mayweather fans. Fact.

    And the answer is Whitaker, obviously.
