Jack johnson would lose to Lenox, Ali & Holmes. But that does not mean he wasn't the best of his time.
Dempsy would lose to Tyson, Frasier & Foreman. But that does not mean he wasn't oneof the best of his time.
Personally the saying "Best or Greatest of all time" is not possable (All time has not come yet).
I think to date, Floyd is the greatest talent boxing has spawned. He's he product of many years and many champs of the past.
There will be one to take the torch just as he did.

It makes there opinions null and void to be honest I can't even take people who think he is a top 20 ATG seriously.
So many great fighters from different eras.
The only way to know who is better... they would have had to fight eachother wich could never happen.
Floyd is one of the very best fighters of all time along with several others.

Originally posted by timboslice708 View PostAgree to disagree, I dont think he was "the greatest talent boxing has spawned" he can take from other past greats style, but he cant take their punching power, speed, toughness, balls.
boxing is not "Speed"
Bxing is not "Balls"
Boxing is not "Punching Power" Or "Toughness"...
We can admire these things in a fighter, but those things don't make them a great boxer...
But it's all subjective and we see what we want to....

Originally posted by timboslice708 View PostIf you wanted me to add that he had great foot movement and was great at parrying punches, great reach and could counterstrike like a cobra? I was pointing out major differences in their game. It's their mentality. Floyd at 130 threw combos, but he didnt throw them like Ray Rob at all. Ray Rob threw them knowing you couldnt dent his chin, Floyd placed his shots.
Him and Floyd are out of the same mold, one is more aggressive and one is more efficient.
What you are doing with Ray Robinson is exactly what you are dogging people for doing with Floyd~ so quit being a hypocrite.

Floyd also is the best defensive fighter of all time. (check the stats)
Floyd also is the most accurate puncher of all time. (check the stats)
Add a great chin, great foot speed, and great all around skill.........and what you have there is the 'greatest talent boxing has spawned'
