Its hard to determine because the fight game has changed so much. Yes, they used to fight every few weeks, but is that really a good thing? A lot of the guys they were fighting weren't the best fighters. Its a lot like today's fighters getting wins/losses for sparring. And how can you really judge the talent of someone 50 years ago? For all we know, Robinson could've been a club fighter in today's world or Vice Versa with PBF. All you can really say is that PBF is the most talented fighter today and on the same level as Sugar Ray Leonard. There is no way to compare todays fighters with guys who had completely different circumstances.Not true at all. Greb and Robinson were head and shoulders over what Mayweather could possibly accomplish. Fighters don't fight enough today to hope to best those records. Let's have Mayweather fight 200 times and see what his win/loss/draw record looks like after that. Then we can compare him to Robinson, Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, etc. Hell, let him fight at least 60 times for a start. It will never happen.Comment

i find humor in merchants interviewing teqnique.people tune in to watch it.floyds responce was fckg great. i stopped ranting at the loudmouth borefest champ when he mentioned about his hand. that solid marble head of baldy.
larry has that expression on his face like he wishes he was somewhere else. like at any moment he's going to get tagged. was hopeing for floyd to pull a ali/cossell and start ***** slapping him.
hope larrys on pedro s show tonight.Last edited by STEELHEAD; 11-05-2006, 04:55 PM.Comment

Larry is responsible for the lie that HBO keeps vomiting up that Gatti was DESTROYED by Baldomir. Merchant was so biased against Gatti in that fight for some reason, even though he wasnt in the past. Funny that the sky sports guys say almost the exact opposite.
Remember also when he said that Maskaev was just maneuvering himself into a big payday, not to realistically win a title when he fought Rahman? What a negative piece of crap(though the negativity is quite hilarious from time to time).Comment

Floyd cannot take criticism.
He was asked a valid an simple question, and it was Merchants right as a commentator to let Floyd respond to the fact that people were walking out before the end of the fight.
It wasnt just Merchant who was criticizing Floyds style, all three comentators were.
Larrys job is to ask the questions,and get the fighters opinions and thats wat he tried to do.
What the **** is the point of stating the obvious, that Floyd is extremely talented, and can box any guys head off.
He did compliment Floyd during the fight.
I hate ass kissing interviews. Larry asked him different questions, but the one that Floyd didnt like, he starting acting like a spoilt child.
(He also exposed his lack of intelligence by saying Larry should stick to commentating.....thats wat he was doing )Comment

All Floyd had to say was that he hurt his hand and did his best against a very tough guy.
Thats all that needed to be said.
Instead he bitched and moaned and made a big drama out of one simple question.
He comes in dressed like a gladiator, but didnt fight like one. Thats a fair point to make isnt it???Comment

PBF will rather choose retirement then fight cotto or hatton.All Floyd had to say was that he hurt his hand and did his best against a very tough guy.
