Newbie, I HAVE seen the welterweights of the 1940s, and I can assure you that Ray Robinson's opponents did not walk on all fours, and some of them were just as clever, punched just as fast ,and fought THREE times more than Mayweather of today..I'll give you a few names that would have probably whipped your idol Mayweather...A few .
Tommy Bell
George Sugar Costner
Jimmy Doyle
Kid Gavilan
Jackie Wilson
Bernard Docusen
Georgie Abrams
These were a few of skilled and fast boxers that had many more fights than Mayweather..Most had over 100 bouts fighting the toughest opponents [designated by the publics demands], 10 to 15 times a year..Yes Mayweather is good for his pampered times,but what if he had to fight every month or so the toughest challengers, not the "safest", would he still be unbeaten ? Not so say I...

In many eyes he ain't undefeated anymore (thanks to Jose Luis Castillo).

Anyways, there are couple of interesting names you listed in your post. I personally never heard of Georgie Abrams, I am going to make to research right now, it has been a while since last time.
Thanks Burt.
