Seeing as there's been some discussion about this recently, I'd be interested to know how many of you think Floyd Mayweather Jr deserves to be called greater than Sugar Ray Robinson. Certain posters here claim Floyd is a better fighter. Floyd himself claimed he is better, I believe.
Anyone who knows a little about boxing history will probably know already that Ray is considered the greatest of all time. His achievements include over 200 pro fights from lightweight to light heavyweight over a span of 26 years. 175 wins (108 by KO), 19 losses, 6 draws. As an amateur, he had 85 fights (69 KO's), and 40 first round KO's.
The pound for pound rankings were created because of Sugar Ray. Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Louis, and The Ring magazine ranked Robinson as the greatest P4P fighter of all time.
Robinson died in poverty in 1989.
I shouldn't need to break down Mayweather's record. If you are of the opinion that Floyd is better than Sugar Ray, you'll already know why you rank him higher. Floyd's record is 39-0, which you know already.
Mayweather Jr recently earned 20 million dollars for a wrestling match and continues to live in luxury.
This thread/poll is not made in disrespect of Floyd or any of his fans. I respect all reasonable opinions, so let's keep it clean. I have a genuine interest to know how many would rate Mayweather higher than Robinson.
