    I can see it now.

    Southpaw comes back with "If Robinson were around today he'd be nothing more than a Joshua Clottey, the man does nothing particularly special. I'd bet Cintron knocks that the man out!"

    Brooklyn sees this and responds "Do me a favor. Take your mouse and click the 'Log Out' button and never sign in again."

    Southpaw never shows his face in this thread again.

    Ok so what if Margarito who Floyd openly ducked KOs Cotto ? He just retire without fighting Margarito cause there nothing to prove huh ? Why not fight Shane Mosley ? He has no problem fighting Oscar twice who Shane already beat twice. Shane beat up Collazo who beat Hatton but Floyd had no problem fighting Hatton. Fraud Gayweather is that you ?

    one of the worst thread starters in a long time.

    I wonder if SRR would have turned down 8 million dollars, I wonder if he would have called out a guy only to duck him. I wonder if he would have ducked Cotto.

    Any which way you want to play it, comparatively Mayweather doesn't hold a candle to Robinson.

    Yes, and Chavez was like 90-0 at one point too. So what? You can't tell me that at least half of Robinson's opponents didn't suck!! Also, he had fights that he won that were highly controversial, as well as a couple draws over b level opposition. You don't think that if Mayweather were fighting once a month against C level opposition and occasionally against B & A level opposition he couldn't get to 100-0? You guys are such Robinson nuthuggers. There are not that many A level fighters in any era. Most fighters are C-B+ fighters even the ones on television. When an A+ fighter like Mayweather comes along and dominates people want to say that a fighter like Robinson who was dropped 10 times and beaten several times and only won titles in 2 divisions was greater because he was 128-1 after fighting some good fighters along with a ton of bums!! When you fight once or twice a month you fight a lot of bums (ask Joe Louis). I'd rather have a fighter fight less often and against good opposition. Quality over quantity.

    So what? That was basically your case for Mayweather, that he was perfect at 39-0 and Robinson wasn't. You have nothing else. You've just blown your own case.

    You could say the same of Mayweather's opposition, difference being Robinson fought much more often against much better opposition. Get it yet?

    Name them. I will wait. None of which(if you can come up with any) rank higher on the controversial list than Mayweather's win over Castillo.

    Bound to happen when you're fighting multiple times a week on some occasions. It all comes back to the fact that Robinson faced far superior opposition overall.

    No, I don't, not if he was fighting the level of competition Robinson was. Kid Gavilan would certainly beat Floyd.

    Says the guy who considers Floyd's B level opposition better than one of the 5 best resumes of all time.

    If Mayweather was fighting as often, I can guarantee you he wouldn't be fighting grade A opposition as often as he is now(then again I can't name a true A level fighter he's ever fought). It's the nature of the game. When fighting that often, some fights are going to be tune ups. They fought back then like fighters nowadays spar. If you were a student of the game you'd know the vast differences between the modern game and the game of that era.

    Many of them actually fought more than that per month. And I explained this above.

    Again, Robinson's top opposition is easily better than Floyd's. How the hell can you say otherwise unless you just don't have a clue who Robinson fought or how good his opponents were(which is obviously the case)? So it appears he has the BIG edge in both quality and quantity. Sorry pal, but you lose, at every angle.

    Where is this quality you speak of? As has previously been said DLH is the only real HoF Mayweather has fought. Go ahead post a list of top fighters Mayweather has fought, i shouldn't imagine even you could make it particularly extensive. I'll tell you what when Mayweather gets to 128-1, (even though it would be against vastly inferior competition), i will admit that Mayweather should be allowed to polish Ray's shoes. We would have to wait a long time wouldn't we, poor old floyd would be pushing 200 years old.

    obviously you don't unserstand the concept of irony. On the one hand you say Mayweather is better than Ray because he is 39-0 and then when it is pointed out that prime Ray was 128-1, you go on to say that this has no validity and shouldn't be used as a barometer. In short you have completely contradicted yourself.

    I'll choose to remain behind and continue arguing. Otherwise this twerp will be left with the same nonsensical views. If he's stopped at every turn he takes, maybe he'll realize something's not quite right with his opinion.
