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.

Speed? I dont think so, Floyd has the speed advantage, albiet not by much. Stamina is on Robinson's side? How do you figure, when have you ever seen PBF gas out? Chin? Probably, but Floyd can take a punch, he's been tagged before. Better footwork? Floyd could move around just as well and fast (if not better and faster) than Ray Robinson. Putting Floyd in SRR's class is rediculous? I don't think so. Floyd's only flaw is his shitty personality. It creates bias, and causes people to downplay his skills and ability.

I gaurentee you, future generations of boxing fans will put Floyd up there. Maybe even as #1, because for the most part they'll be judging him on his in-ring exploits, not all the other bullshit. Its like SRR, when we think of him we don't think of him as the arrogant prick he was. We don't think of the guy who cheated on and beat the shit out of his wife. We don't think of him as the guy who would threaten to pull out of a fight at the last second unless he got more money. No one says "Ahhh fuck SRR he ducked Charley Burley he was scared." We just watch his fight tapes and know that he was the real deal and had the goods. When all of this "Money Mayweather" bullshit is all gone, and people can look at his career and performances objectively, they'll view him as one of if not the greatest IMHO
