    Yeah but Bernard would go back to jail sooner then admitting Roy was the greatest of his era. He has an inferiority complex.

      in terms of boxing ability mayweather is without doubt the best in this era but floyd needs to beat pacquiao and beat martinez at 160 for the wbc middleweight lineal belt to be legendary like sugar ray robinsion

            yeah if he wins the middleweight belt and beats pacquiao for me he is along with robinsion the best p4p fighter ever if not he is better because in terms of boxing skills like whitaker and robinsion he is an ATG but u need wins over quality opponents in your record to prove your skills pacquiao is the best along with floyd in this era and winning the belt at middleweight will enhance him greatly

                the idea that nobody would ever beat or be better then robinsion is outrageous people think there is something honorable or traditional about the greatness of old fighters but remember todays boxers are bigger stronger faster and smarter the skills and styles back then won't work in this era so it's not crazy to rank mayweather along with him in terms of boxing ability

                  How is Floyd bigger and stronger than SRR? SRR started as a LW who had a fight a LHW. Was also taller than Floyd. Do you think Floyd could fight as a LHW?

                  I mean I guess that could hold true for HW's. Seeing that back in the day the top HW's rareley weight more than 225 pounds. While now is rare to see a top HW who weighs less then 225 pounds.

                  But, back then a WW weighed 147, today a WW weights 147. Where is the bigger and stronger coming from?

                  I have not seen a faster fighter yet then Camacho or Taylor. so how are fighters from today faster?

                  And, honestly can't really say that Floyd was faster than SRR, maybe had better reflexes I give you that. But, SRR had very good speed.
