    Floyd has never been in a war and probably will never be in a war because his fighting style doesnt allow it.

      Agreed.

      How can you reply to my threads when you're supposed to be blocked though.

        If Floyd takes on Hatton, DLH, Mosley, Winky and Taylor and wins them all, he is the greatest of all time.
        Disagree entirely.

        SRR had losses because his competition was arguably the greatest of all time. Beating unproven Hatton, a series of old fighters and a green Taylor would not make him GOAT.

          If he beats Winky and/or Taylor, then for sure he will be...No matter what...

          but that's like nearly impossible...

          Robinson did have 17 losses, but he only had 3 losses before he retired the first time. LaMotta beat him once, Robinson beat him 5 times.

          Randy Turpin beat a unfocused Robinson, and in the rematch Robinson destroyed him in spectacular fashion, and then came the loss to Joey Maxim. Maxim didn't defeat him, the heat did...

          If Mayweather can manage to beat Taylor and/or Wright, I will put him there with Robinson and maybe even higher.

            You show how much more class you have by talking about others' personal problems. Floyd's personal life has nothing to do with what he does inside the ring and that is what this forum is about. Seriously bad taste.

              I think Robinson fought about 12 hall of famers.

              Most his losses came when he was old.

                LOL. An guy who has became Champion by beating a hall of famer (Tszyu) is unproven? Hall of famers like DLH and Mosley looked old in their last fights huh? And the Middleweight champion of the world who beat Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright is green???? You can't be serious. No sense and no class. Go figure.

                    you know whats so great about PBF being the greatest of all time? its DEBATEABLE!!!!

                    PBF could easily be the greatest of all time if he beats the best available. if Joe Louis can be considered the greatest ever, so can the best man in ANY generation!!!!

                      thats true and not true. Mosley wasnt putting combinations together like he used to. its possible that u could have NOT liked what u saw, even though mosley won in spectacular fashion!

                      But u could argue that mosley saw that he had a guy he could easily beat in front of him, so he went all out and threw powershots rather then putting combinations together!

                      i liked what i saw though. i think he knew he could beat vargas, and tried to take him out ASAP
