I can't remember seeing a better fighter than prime Floyd Mayweather Jr

When I said Floyd was possibly the best I've seen, I meant from my era of boxing, not all time. I think that us what the OP meant too.

Nope, I'm going all in. I say Floyd Mayweather was a better overall boxing talent than Ray Robinson.

You are more than entitled to your opinion. Robinson in my own humble opinion is in another league than Floyd as are many others.

That's cool. The last thing I wanted to do was crap on Ray Robinson, who was an incredible prizefighter.

If people want to give Robinson the nod because he fought more, that's up to them. But if someone is going to tell me they think Robinson was a more skilled prizefighter than Floyd, I have to disagree.

My main point was this; all sports fans look to the past with rose colored glasses and say "ohhh I wish I was around to watch that guy fight." Floyd is genuine boxing genius with skills AT LEAST on par with those guys we hold up as gods. I think we got to witness pure boxing genius with Floyd, Roy, and Whitaker. I'd put those three guys up with any of the past guys we only know from boxing headlines.
