If Robinson weight 147lbs against 160lbs people, then that's a 13lbs difference in weight.

So now tell me the difference between Mayweather and the above opponents in fight night weight.

Yeah, I thought so.

Lmao! Didn't it work? It's the tale of the tape of the Floyd vs Canelo and Floyd vs Victor Ortiz fight. Floyd was 150lbs on fight night in both fights, Ortiz was 164lbs and Canelo 165lbs on fight night. So that's a 14 and 15lbs difference. Robinson had a 13lbs difference between him and his opponents. Therefore the argument that Robinson is better coz he fought middleweights don't mean shieet coz back then people weighed in just before the fight, and therefore no rehydration.

If Robinson came in at 147lbs on fight night in this era and fought a middleweight, he'd be fighting a guy weighing 170+lbs.

There was ONE champion back then and far less weight-classes. Not 5 or 6 different belts to choose from at the various weights. Floyd picked the weaker belt holders, and then shot names.

Had he stayed as PBF, schooling guys and stopping them, then he could've been the greatest. As soon as he turned into Money he lost something in my eye. Loved him at 130lbs -the best ever at that weight.

That's how I feel about Cassius Clay/Ali.

You don't know s.hit....he beat THE MAN at every weight class except 140. What stronger belt holder should he have fought?

Margarito, GGG...

he beat more world champions because world champions are a dime a dozen now. It seems everyone is a world champion at some point. Belts are everywhere. They even made a belt for the Pacquiao cotto fight. What matters are the names.

Floyd has had a great resume no doubt, but there hasn't been anyone around to test him besides Pacquiao in 2010-2012. That fight never happened and when it did Floyd never really showed up anyways, the fight was close but the commentating made it seem otherwise. Just a lot of bull**** imo. business.

The best 2 wins on his resume are him moving up and fighting Big Oscar, and him beating Canelo. He dominated Corralles so that should be mentioned as well.

A slow plodding b class fighter and a 35 yr old unproven mw. Margarito literally doesn't enhance floyd legacy one bit.

there was rehydration back then. just not Canelo and Chavez jr type rehydrations. It makes people lazy in training too. A lot of guys now are holding to much weight.

I guess that's Money's story, and he's sticking to it, but I noticed he never mentions who specifically did he beat that puts him above the Sugar Ray's and Ali's.
