Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'm No Longer Pound For Pound, But I am TBE

U just make this stuff up as u go along???

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You just wrote a lot of stuff about Sugar Ray Leonard and SR Robinson and gave an "analytical" view point of how Floyd is not as good as Robinson. All you wrote were your opinions.

What I wrote about Floyd moving up in weight are all FACTS that you can Google them yourself if you know how to read.

You are clearly an flabbergasted, obtuse, neanderthal with nary a single cell in your pea-sized brain working. Do you know what Google can do for someone with a mind like yours? A lot. You can learn a lot of things from Google if you know how to read and write so go ahead and give it a try.

So a world champion of over 15 years, undefeated as a 19 year pro, never been dropped on his ass, never been dominated, regarded as one having one of the best defenses ever, fundamentally one of the greatest we've ever seen, one of the highest boxing IQ's ever, a champion in 5 different weight classes, one of the most accurate punchers ever can't lay claim to being the best ever? .........Really?

not only that, but the guy's best win is either a non hall of famer in corrales or an injured past prime pacquiao who he needed to use peds in order to win as evidenced with his illegal IV ped masking technique.

Robinson would KO Floyd inside of 5 rds. Mayweather has NO power to hold off Robinson and Robinson has power in both hands! It's not close and Floyds so called great defense works against fighters with C+ to B- offenses. Whjat happens when TBE boxer/puncher starts in on him? If Maidana's chop right hand bothered Floyd what's Robinson's right hands going to accomplish?

Mayweather isn't a top ten welter and he would struggle against any top ten lightweight or junior welter. At 130 he could fare well in with that groups top fifteen. Because he's done well against "his" opponents doesn't mean he does well against the top tier talents in boxings history.

Sugar Ray beats him up and theres plenty of film to see how and why!

Boxing has advanced tremendously since the days of Robinson. He was good, but it's mostly nostalgia that explains his ranking as the greatest boxer that ever lived. I doubt he would have done too well against post-60's fighters. I have seen most of Robinson's fights and the opponents were very flat footed and had awful defense and ring skills. Have you ever watched On The Waterfront with Brando? His method acting was new at the time and made those actors look extremely stiff and wooden. Same thing with Robinson. I'll be back in ten minutes. Thanks.

Well, the fact that his best win is obver someone smaller than himself speaks volumes! Plus he's arguably lost2 or 3 times. Plus he's never fought outside his backyard. Plus he found it offensive if you suggested he didn't have some kind of advantage in a fight as we know he always liked things swayed in his favour
Floyd's given many reasons why him even considered a candidate is laughable.

fanofslug;.............you can watch 100 video's of Robinson and you still wouldn't realize his greatness because you don't know what your looking at.
A great boxer from any era is capable of matching up with a great one from any era. If you think that Mayweather is a great welterweight your entitled
to your opinion but what its based on is what seperates your opinion from truth and being valid!
The most important issue that Mayweather would have facing Sugar Ray is his complete lack of power! Just the opposite of Sugar Ray's browse of power in both hands. The skill levels also are in favor of Robinson. Rolling into the shoulder roll on the ropes gets you destroyed against Robinson.

Again if you knew what you were looking at you'd know that.
The thought that something from the past isn't as good or better than current
times in sport is ridiculous. Boxers today are still trying to emulate Robinson style by all means tell what "new" techniques are being used in the fights and what "new" training methods are being employed in the gym?
Is there a new punch? A new move? A training exercise? Please elaborate!

Guess what, you did not dispute anything I said except say he arguable lost to are thee fights. But guess what he didn't. So first he was afraid of Pac now the new narrative is that he fought a smaller man....that's hilarious.

But Floyd beat Castillo Twice and beat all of the best fighters of his era.

I know you hate him but he's the best of his era and you can read my original post and see if you can dispute anything I posted.

Fraud Roidweather shouldn't be entitled to the title The Best Ever.
