        You guys don't acknowledge any of Floyd's accomplishments, it's kinda sad.


        In this aspect of career achievements. Floyd WILL have surpassed SRR. NOT overall career achievements but he will have done something SRR didn't even do and that is 41-0-0 career start.


        Respect whether you like it or not. Mayweather surpasses him in this aspect.

            You know you know way more then most people here and I respect your opinion but Floyds offense is amazing. He doesnt let his hands go alot but hes laser fast and the most accurate fighter since compubox for what its worth. He can throw every punch in the book with precison and power.

              Damn that means a lot of fighters deserve respect for accomplishing that.

                He does surpass Robinson in this aspect but then so did 50+ other fighters.

                  Still not as impressive as Robinson though who had the best offensive tools of any fighter I've ever seen.

                    Ray had much better one punch power than Floyd, but technique wise, Ray liked the loopy shots and opened himself up a lot. Speed wise they are on the same level, with Floyd probably ahead because of his better technique.

                      Read post 55, with that said watching LaMotta, no doubt tough as nails but what did he ever do to keep from getting hit.
