    No, you really did read that. And now he's trying to tell us it was a joke, after he was brutally raped 10,219,981 times in this thread.

    What bull****.

    The BOXING REGISTER lists Robinson as 45-15-2 against top ten opponents.

    That would be it, the clear majority of those losses coming well past his prime.

    You can´t really compare fighters between eras like that. When Robinson fought, fighters were generally worse. A lot of them were not fully professional, having day jobs. Training and technique was generally not as advanced, ditto for diets and supplements. If Robinson had been born later and was boxing now, he would certainly not have a 200 fight career but he would also benefit from today's advances in training.

    It´s also far fetched to compare greatness just based on who´d win in a fight prime for prime. I´m sure Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, both Klitschkos and probably even a prime Golota, Mercer, Tua and Ibeabuchi would all blow out tiny and crude Rocky Marciano - doesn´t mean they are all greater.

    Greatness is legacy - not just being a good fighter with a good record. That is why Ali is the greatest - cause he became bigger than the sport and a historical figure. Likewise Robinson´s legacy far surpasses that of Mayweather.

    I disagree in ways with most of this, even though you're clearly not an idiot like the threadstarter. We've gone over all the points you've made in detail about training, techniques(both have been similar to how they are in modern times since about the 40's in general). Diets and supplements make minor differences. Training, exercising, and dedication are what is key, not who has a few more grams of protein in their diet. Those who consider people who fought with little gloves for 15 rounds with much more leniant refs lesser athletes, or at least lesser in terms of stamina and durability, are crazy.

    Please take this **** outta here. **** Me! Compare the competition, the number of fights each had, and the offensive output of SRR.

    Yes but he then came back in '71 to fight Nixon, and '72 to fight jimmy richards. You are right, he did retire at age 45, however he did come back and fight these two sanctioned fights at age 51, and 52. Never the less, Fighting and winning most competetive fights, up until the age of 45 is a huge achievement. Especially with the amount of fights throughout his carreer, albeit many of those were quick wins with so many stoppages for the great man in the early rounds.

    Anybody that actually thought I was serious is even dumber than they were accusing me of being when they took my arguements for real. The only thing that I wasn't joking about is my points about older boxers being overrated (not Robinson) and modern fighters being underrated and the fact that boxing is the only sport that this happens in. If you honestly think that I thought that Robinson at 5'11 with an edge in power, equal speed, great heart and great footwork would lose to Mayweather H2H or even P4P is crazy.

    Also, do you really think that I believe he could beat Leonard & Hagler? The only thing he has over Leonard is defense. Leonard would beat him either by late rounds TKO or won a 12 round chess match. Leonard's combination punches in bunches along with his equal boxing IQ would have been more than enough to counter Mayweather's defense. Hagler would mop the floor with him. Mayweather might have frustrated him a little with his speed and quickness for a few rounds, but Hagler would cut the ring off and take him out inside of 5 rounds. Hearns would have kept him at the end of his jab and eventually would have murdered him with his jackhammer of a right hand. Even if he never landed a flush right hand, he would have outboxed him over 12 rounds.

    Duran would have destroyed him at 135. I could see Mayweather frustrating him a little, but Duran would have turned up the heat and taken him out eventually. I love Mayweather, but he'll never be even in Leonard, Duran or Hearns' class let alone Robinson's. He simply doesn't have the opponents to prove otherwise. Cotto is improving, but can you really put Cotto in the league of Leonard or Duran? Beating Cotto would help his legacy, but wouldn't put him in the previous mentioned fighter's leagues.
