        Floyd Mayweather is better than Sugar Ray Robinson.

        The 4Kings is a different story however; Mayweather can compete with the Kings but honestly speaking, he loses to all of them.

              80s gloves have considerable thin padding. He could hang in there but his brittle fists (less power and intention with his punches) would make it hard to fend off the likes of SSR/SRL, Duran.

                closest thing to flawless technique imo

                that how I’d hire to teach me each punch

                Floyd often punched with his chin in the air and had a loose left hook

                Floyd stands out for his genius, versatility, and adaptability
                I’m taking The ****** Wizard as the closest thing to flawless technique no disrespect to Joe

                  not even close.. floyd was just good at running... that's what impressive about him.. he can make the ring a track and field place.. if he joins the 1000m men's run he probably win the gold in olympics.

                    Actually As far as Pure Boxing Technique and Skills, Mayweather is ahead of those guys and it is not even close as crazy as it sounds because those are Legends/ICONS. I think the Hate For Mayweather makes some people completely BLIND to his high level of talent and skills

                      ali definitely wasn’t as skilled as Floyd
                      Yes he was. On top of his skills, Ali had sublime reflexes and a ring IQ that approached wizardry.

                      The Ali and Holmes jab is a work of art and the most perfectly executed skill in the history of boxing.
