Mayweather is A Prick

I agree with you Mayweather has not come close to reaching the plateau that Ali and Robinson are on, but I don't think you can criticize him for granting an immediate rematch to a guy that gave him problems (especially considering boxing today).

If you compare Mayweather to people in his era, he measures favorably. Throw in that he has dominated every opponent he has faced (whether they were great, good, or average) and immediately rematched his one close fight and I just don't understand how anyone can hate on Mayweather...

What the hell is wrong with you? PBF is better than SRR????? What you been smoking? He's not even better than SRL was.

I've been smoking some Marlbore Lights, skill wise PBF is better.

Leonard was also better then Robinson skill wise and fight wise!

How do you figure that? Robinson was probably the most versatile and skilled boxer of all time. No insult to PBF and SRL who were/are both great fighters but I wouldn't raise them to SRR level. Remember his first loss came to LaMotta after 40 something fights and he fought the next 2 weeks. Then beat LaMotta in a rematch a week later...3 fights in 4 weeks against tough opposition. The circumstances (meaning the difficulty in having to fight that much and for 15 rds) make SRR even more impressive than his pure skills.

I've seen enough of all 3 men, skill wise Robinson was not the best of all time, I still rank Robinson #1 of all time but I've seen boxers with better skills then Robinson!

I got you. My personal opinion is that they are about equal in terms of speed, PBF has slightly better defense, but SRR has much better power (he carried it all the way to LHW). But I understand your point on skills.
