    If you go with the older guy, at leats make a rational argument.
    I'll ask you the same thing I asked Larry.

    Please quote someone who has said those words as to why fighter A would beat fighter B.

      Watch a Max Baer fight.

      Rarely have I seen someone absorbing so much punishment and smile about it.

        ''Robinson was at his best at welterweight....Unfortunately, there is very little footage of him at welterweight.''

        What a coincidence so what are we basing his greatness on then? Hearsay? Two or three videos of him facing guys with 30+ losses?

        What semi decent fighter wouldn't look great against a punchbag that just walks forward hunched over offering no resistance like LaMotta?
        If he was around today he'd be making guys like Ronald Hearns look as good as his father.

                  This is a weird defense mechanism you have Larry.
                  You are sincere in saying something dumb (like Pac/Floyd would be the best in any era) and it backlashes. Instead of just admitting to ignorance or clarify your stance you start obsessively trolling just so that people will think you were not serious to begin with.

                  Yes. We see you're being funny now.
