    He's the best of this generation. That says a lot in itself, when you have someone like Pacquiao who has all these records and is also a once in a lifetime fighter as well.

    Floyd is just too good. He has to handicap himself significantly to make it fair at this point. He's so good it's literally boring.

      (51 pound move up)
      Roy jones started at 154 and moved up to 205 to fight a heavyweight belt holder
      And was still out weighed by 30 pounds fight night vs ruiz. In Ny .
      Ray robinson is not going undefeated or having his record if he was fighting todays athletes

          you're assuming that SRR doesn't receive the same benefits that today's fighters get like better S&C training and not fighting every 2 weeks

              And Bob Cousy would brutalize Allen Iverson too right. Fucc outta here you fake posing historian.

              SRR is not "brutally battering " Floyd get real.

                    Ive seen videos of SRR robinson and ya thats not gonna happen.

                    Most say SRR's prime was before video so thats just a myth entirely. So how can you really say that he beats floyd

                      Best ever should be broken down by decade. Boxing is a different sport today. There's 4 belts per division, there's more weight classes, there's basically two different leagues (GBP and Top Rank) since they won't work each other and now you have the network ****.

                      You just can't compare the fighters of today to the fighters of the past since they're not playing by the same rules.
