According to the Floyd fans here:

:boxing:
Sugar Ray Robinson would beat Floyd not because skill, because is too fast and too big, but then again, look at his competition, a lot of those guys couldn't sniff the scrubs in today's game.
I consider him a middleweight, because he dominated at the weight as well
Floyd could not dominate at middlemight, his too small, his a small welterweight at that
this topic is dumb
You might as well ask who would win Sugar Ray Robinson or Ali, of course Ali would win.
The thread should be called who is Pound 4 Pound the greatest Sugar Ray Robinson or Floyd Mayweather
If Floyd beats Canelo at 154 in next year and half, I will go with Floyd.
You can point to SRR's record, but come on you damn well back in the day most guys were bums.
Boxing techniques evolve over time
you wouldn't compare the old boxers who fought like the fighting irish logo, to Ray Robinson, so you can compare Floyd to him, the time frame is too far apart.
Mayweather's defense is the first of it's kind, a by product of generations of boxing knowledge passed down
