I don't really disagree with what you are saying, but at the same time it doesn't really make sense. I agree that the accomplishments of Robinson, Armstrong, Louis, etc. are not and will not be paralleled by any fighter ever again. However, it's just not fair to compare Robinson to Pacquiao or Mayweather. In today's boxing climate, Mayweather just wouldn't be able to fight that many times a year, even if by choice he wanted to. Those numbers simply can't be racked up in today's game. It's like comparing basketball pre/post 3 point line, the numbers are so skewed to the eras that they don't tell even half the truth sometimes.

It's not fair that no matter what a fighter can do today, if he fought 70 times and won 70 times, that would take Floyd how many more fights? Even if they did that, it probably still wouldn't compare to the numbers of the guys considered the greats of all time. So I just don't think that can be the sole barometer of the all time great lists.

There isn't even a lot of footage of Robinson at 147, in his prime. We've seen every second of Mayweather's pro career, basically. The eras - and the fighters - just can not be compared only by win-loss record.
