Depending on how he closes out his career, I think Floyd Mayweather could have a good case for being the greatest of all time. I know the Floyd haters are going to laugh at this, but if you put aside any personal bias while watching his fight footage its easy to see that you can put this guy up with anyone who ever fought. I mean where are Floyd's weaknesses? He can seemingly adapt to any style. Where Robinson has the edge in punching power, Floyd has a serious edge in superior defense.
In my book Robinson is quicker,stronger,better footwork,and hell throw's twice as many punches so stamina is on Robinson's side.Chin has to go to Robinson down alot more than Floyd but all Ray's knockdown's came from bigger men middleweight's when he was a welterweight,maybe if Floyd openend up a little more maybe we can see what his jaw is all about. I'm sorry if I am coming off like I'm nagging but to put Mayweather in a Ray Robinson's class is just ridiculous.
unfortunetly for me hatton and cotto who al hate him! haha i think he probably is in robinsons class to be honest. to beat corrales by tko dela hoya, hatton castillo twice etcetc unfortunetly i think he is as good as robinson and probably only second to roy jones in natrul talent
