Can you mutha****as read? i said "and btw. srr is one that u cant despute. but srl is w/e to me because i think that in this era he wouldnt survive. but thats just my opinion"
yall are ****** dude i swear it. i never said they wanst great i said that srl wouldnt survive in this era. mike jordan is still the best, but he could gaurd lebron james get me?
ww is another story. i can see him beating most of them. him and floyd wouldve been a great match. put as far as p4p goes, its much harder to be at the top of the list now than it was back then. it nothing against the greats of that era, its just that the fighters are of another cloth. they now are more athletic, bgger, stronger, faster, new techniques. srl style is simply out-datedI don't think the style's are much different man, watch Benitez-Leonard or Hearns-Leonard. I also don't think many of the welter's today are as quick as Leonard either, maybe Judah though. Still doesn't make sense that you said Robinson would survive and Leonard wouldn't, if styles and rules truly were different then. I think you should go back and watch fights from the mid to late 70's all the way to late 80's. I don't think fighters from today would last.
Saying that Ali wouldn't survive in this era is like saying a shark won't survive in an ocean full of slower, weaker, lazy fish. If a prime Ali was here now, he'd ****t on every single heavy out there. He has that something that Wlad fears the most: an iron chin. That combined with all the skills
Rep. for you J. This contradicted himself the whole way through and you stayed polite. With the examples he gave, he sounds like he's nuthugging athleticism and disregarding overall skills. The guy said Lebron>MJ, Wlad>Ali? That's all I need to know about homies opinion; he needs to go back to boxing and basketball 101.Comment

Floyd simply has to fight the best fighters today to be recognized as THE best.
Someone else commented on here that he hasn't had that "Ali / Frazier" or "Hagler/ Leonard" fight that would put him over with critics and fans alike win or lose.
Floyd is a "businessman" so him and his team make "business" decisions. Most of his fans will make statements that he WOULD beat Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Pacquiao, etc. But the bottom line is that he announces his retirement after having 2 big money fights but still claims to be the #1 fighter when in fact he's only reached the Pinnacle of his career with more meaningful fights on the horizon.
If he stays retired (which I doubt) many will hold him as a great fighter, but in no way THE greatest (maybe not even top 20).
Having an "0" in the loss column on your record doesn't necessarily make you the greatest (check Rocky Marciano's career for that one).Comment

As good as Floyd is, I don't think he would have anything over Leonard except a brilliant defense, which Benitez did have. Leonard is faster, bigger, stronger, has more power and a better chin. Not to mention these guys used to go 15 rounds not 12.
I'll hit you with green k soon, but I can't give out rep right now.Comment
