    Floyd Mayweather Against All Time Greats

    So I realize a lot of people have a problem with Floyd claiming he's better than past boxers like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.

    How does Floyd's skill compare to Ali or Robinson? This isn't a fantasy match between anybody, just wondering who you all think is the better boxer.

    I believe Floyd does many things better than Ali.

    I don't really have an opinion on Robinson as I've barely seen him fight but I always hear that he's the best ever.

          Floyd's best win is versus a Journeyman named Baldomir

            Ive seen SRR and Ali fight and from what I see Floyd is more skilled then both. Is he greater? No. Better skilled? Absolutely.

              You could make a pretty good argument that technically and defensively, Floyd is a better fighter than both.

              Resume wise, no.

                  Nobody's talking about resumes. We're talking purely skills.
