its not at all unreasonable to think that mayweather could/would beat robinson or has better defense than sweet pea, ill explain why
Sugar Ray Robinson was great, but if you know anything about him or the time he fought it it might say something to you
for example you probably knew about his epic fights with Jake Lamotta, what you didnt know probably is that he fought Jake lamotta many times, he even fought him within 2 weeks of fighting him, he also fought him fought another guy and fought him 2 months later, you may say this is amazing and all that, but it actually reveals alot about how boxing is different from then till now
Ray Robinson is still today considered the greatest because he was the most prolific, he fought over a hundred fights and lost very few, but the circumstance for how he fought tells us that the preparation put into the fights was not on the same level as it is today, therefore if he did fight today, you would most likely see a different fighter
As far as mayweathers defense, its not unreasonable in the very least to say that his is better than Pernells. Pernell excelled in reaction and footwork, where floyd is very good, but not as good as Pernell, where floyds defense is better is his change ups. Floyd never lets an opponent figure him out because he never settles into a grove, if you watch how he fights, he employs many different styles which makes him very hard to fight. In turn he is able to punish other fighters, making them less likely to throw, he does not just employ defense in the traditional sense, but in the very likeness of the word

monkey says a great boxer is on roids, monkey sees and monkey does the same
monkey says he's GOAT of all time, monkey sees and monkey says on forum floyd is greater than SRR
on a related note, a monkey from the street sells crack and little monkey is born and grew up to imitate his ways
this is stuff you can't make up man
*****s are the missing link that scientist are trying to find that links chimp and human

You're simply not quick enough to engage in a battle of wits with a person such as I. You're barely literate as it is. Your little racist rants ruffle no feathers over here dear. I'm just disappointed in the fact that nobody else has called you out. The moderators just let you run off at the mouth with this mindless garbage. Says a lot about this forum.

anyone who thinks mayweather's defense and pernell's defense isn't debatable is a ***en idiot. and Pernell has been dropped, floyd hasn't. I doubt most of you idiots have never even seen a pernell fight so STFU!
- Pernell got dropped by tito in the 2nd round.
-Whitaker was floored TWICE against Hurtado.
-Whitaker was floored against Rivera
-whitaker was floored against McGirt
-whitaker was floored against Roger Mayweather
NSB is total ****! because of people like thread starter and the idiots posting in this thread agreeing to him. Most of you idiots didn't even know **** about boxing until you probably discovered this board or maybe just a few years ago. Most of you dumb ***s know **** about whitaker or mayweather.
anyone who doesn't think floyd's defense is better than pernell's is just plain ******/hater or just doesn't know enough about these fighters.
go *** off trolls.

Whitaker was very elusive, hard to hit while he was in front of you. PBF is very hard to hit solid, he deflects so many punches, not elusive. Very rarely does someone land clean on him, Mosley certainly did. PBF also has a better offense than Whitaker. He has a cleaner counter.
That said Whitaker was the man in his day. Watching clips of him on Youtube and his D is amazing. He was impossible to hit, not just clean but at all.
