If Floyd Beats Cotto Is He Better Than Sugar Ray Robinson?

[wmute]

i just think the amount of fights he would have to take to amount to ray robinson... i dont even think its do able to be honest

but MANY of robinson fights are against nobodies. Those dont happen anymore. What would really make the difference is no trilogies, no rematches and so on, but that's today boxing, not Floyd boxing.

I think the greatest thing that Floyd could do right now is that he takes a year off and lets Cotto establish himself as a GREAT or atleast a very good fighter.

Let Cotto beat Williams, Margarito, Cintron and DLH all those, or atleast some of them. If he can run through them all he should be regarded as the best, maybe even over Floyd.

Then Floyd will come back to defend his crown against another great fighter. If Floyd manages to win against Cotto (or whoever has come out on top), he will cement his legacy for sure.

Personally to be up there, I want TWO reigns, not just a few victories against big names, that's Leonard type of stuff, not Robinson's.

A reign would be good but people won't give credit to Floyd for beating unestablished fighters, atleast immediately. Cotto should build himself up a bit, a fight against DLH might just do it.

Cotto's wins against Mosley and Judah were good but people could say they were both past their best and the fights were kind of close anyway so yeah he got expossssed as a bummmz.

We have fighters with very good potential Cotto, Williams, even Cintron and Margarito. They should fight each other a bit.

henry armstrong held the lightweight, welterweight, and jr middleweight titles AT THE SAME GOD DAMN TIME.... and hes UNDER sugar ray robinson as the best ever.... so how is floyd remotely even touching the top 10...

manchine... correct me if im wrong on the actual titles, but i know he held 3 major weight class division titles at once

He held the titles at Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight, and would've won a 4th at Middleweight over Ceferino Garcia if he wasn't robbed with a draw. Unbelievable that people think Floyd beats that.

Floyd is top 50, possibly top 40, if he does beat Cotto though, he's around the #30 mark. That would be a huge win for him.

Definitely, funny how Mayweather is ducking them, but they are not fighting each other either. Credit to Margarito for risking his belt against Williams.

Just curious, where would Pea rank?

No, PBF has not surpassed SRR. I personally have Floyd as Top 20 though.
