I don't know if this will help but here's the transcript of my last post. Neither did ICB prove that today's era is better than before. Hope you have noticed that.

Mayweather fought legit Welterweight champion of the world Baldomir you can't expect him to do legendary things at Welterweight with only 3 fights at Welterweight but he has still fought quality opposition at Welterweight.


Whoever said Mayweather was as great as Robinson ?? your turning this debate into about Robinson vs Mayweather this debate is about Welterweight eras you keep going off topic Mayweather has only had 38 fights and has won 5 World titles in 5 different weight divisions thats something not even Robinson done and thats damn impressive in only 38 pro fights all i was saying is that Robinson's Welterweight era is not as strong as Welterweight era now and i have proven it isn't thats what im supposed to be debating about and so far i have proven it.

First and foremost, you're saying now that these alphabet titles matters? yeah 5 different weight divisions? Against a SLUGGISH Baldomir after he ducked Margarito? MAybe you haven't read my last comment regarding MAyweather ducking MArgarito. Let me repeat my story ( I added these lines after I posted my earlier rebuttal).

By the way, mayweather did duck Margarito. He rejected an $8Million dollar offer to fight margarito in 2006 and decided to go up to fight De LA hoya but ODLH postponed the fight to 2007 so he decided to fight Cory Spinks but it did not push through coz of Spinks mandatory defense. So he decided to fight Baldomir coz he was already in the bad light.

yeah, there maybe great fighters in the welterweight division now but does it automatically make the division better than before? I am focusing with Mayweather coz ,for you, he symbolizes the best boxer in this era.

What purpose does it serve to have great boxers when what you consider the best boxer is ducking another boxer? You mean, that will make this era better than before?

So Mayweather fought legit fighters? The question is how did he perform? Ohhh, by outpointing a SLUGGISH Baldomir. have you seen his fight with Judah? I've posted the video. Try to watch it again and boldly say his performance was impressive.

CAn you explain to me why the win of Mayweather over Shamba impressive? Williams had done it in the 4th round. Mayweather in 6th.

Mayweather can't really be expected to do some legendary thing in the welterweight coz he lacks the courage possessed by Robinson.

Well considering Mayweather has only been a Welterweight for not even 2 years that is unfair and has only had 3 fights at Welterweight i think thats totally unfair arguement but he did beat.

So mayweather had 3 fights in the welterweight since 2004 to 2007. How great is that? Boxers during the time of Robinson and Basilio were fighting an average of 9-10 fights a year.

Topic:"The Welterweight division, better now than ever?"

When you talk about an era being great, you don't only talk about the number of "supposed great fighters". You talk about the quality of fights between these fighters.

So what makes the welterweight division exciting now? Mayweather? To be specific, what makes it better than ever now? The fighters you have mentioned who may be forgotten like the welters of the 80's?

I say, an era is better if its fighters can be remembered well. Robinson, Basilio and Duran had proven it already. The fighters you have mentioned still needs to be tested with time. Robinson is acclaimed as the number 1 all time great by most boxing fans.

In your honest opinion, how will the fighters you mentioned hurdle the test of time? Will it be as great as how history remembers Robinson and Basilio?
