I'm all about self confidence and self pride but when it gets to the point when you are trying to discredit the legends of yesterday who have pave the way and paid the price so you can display your skill and generate the amount of money you do is where I cross the line. Mayweather made a comment about Ali had five losses. Ok to defend Ali, all his losses were to future, former, or newly decorated champions. He loss to Frazier, Norton, Spinks, Holmes, and Berbick. One thing you can't take away from Ali is that he fought everybody and went into hostile territory with the title and came out the winner. Another sidenote is that he has never had a rematch clause in none of his contracts. Then he goes and talks about the great Ray Robinson. Ray Robinson is probaly not only the greatest welterweight in history but the greatest pound for pound fighter as well. Floyd talks about his 19 losses. But when Robinson retired the first time he retired on top with the record of 128-1-2 84KO over a twelve year span. So when he came back of course he came back for financial reason at the age of 34 and for that time and the many fights he has had he was already over the hill. But this man cameback and won the middleweight title 4 more times. To me thats impressive. He was the fighter of the year in 1942 and 1951 and fought the great Hall of Fame fighters such as Jake LaMotta, Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Carl 'Bobo' Olson, Henry Armstrong, Rocky Graziano and Kid Gavilan. All in total Mr. Robinson fought 200 fights finishing with a record of
173-19-6-108KO. All I have to say when you have the two greatest heavyweight champions of all time, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali both tells the world that Ray Robinson is the greatest fighter who ever lived, who can dispute that?
