Robinson fought in a time were there was one title rather than today were there are multi titles and anybody could be a champion if you pay the fees. Today as evident in Floyds career you can pick and choose opponents carefully and still gather abc titles. Only in the nsb where 16 year old historians and experts are frequent, would somebody even suggest Mayweather would even come close to the level of a great like Robinson.

Floyd is not even fit to be on the same thread as the greatest fighter that ever lived, only thing they have in common is the alleged slapping of their women about.
SRR was a more skillful boxer, had murderous power, better footwork, faster hands, better chin all added to superhuman stamina, Floyd is a smaller man with a great defence non of his other attributes are in Robinson's class, Floyd would have been blown away inside of 5 rounds if they fought.
