    ....when floyd comes out and says he's not better than somebody then i'd be surprised. There are amatures out there that belive they are better than ali, so what. Froch just got beat and still thinks he's better than kessler. Where's the thread for that foolishness ? Not like floyd just became a prick yesterday.

    Yes but Floyd has been around the game long enough to know that he really is nowhere near the level of Robinson.

    If Tommy Hearns was in his prime right now he'd destroy EVERYONE at 147 WITH EASE....Pac couldn't handle him, Shane couldn't handle him, and Floyd sure as hell couldn't handle him.

    Let's put Floyd in perspective his biggest wins were Diego Corrales, Gennaro Hernandez, and Jose Luis Castillo....Floyd just recently got a MAJORITY decision vs a washed up De la Hoya.....if Floyd had trouble with OLD Oscar then you know damn well his ass would get destroyed by a PRIME Oscar!!!

    I know Floyd is great and all but this type of bull shit make me happy that I will see Shane Mosley whip his ass on Saturday.

    Robinson fought more times a month than Mayweather did a year... you really think he would keep his 0 if he fought almost 200 times?

    Not forgetting he only ever fought for real world championships... not the alphabetty spaghetti we have nowadays.

    Ali faced more adversity in a matter of years than Mayweather ever has or probably ever will in his whole entire career. fact.

    Blame the times for that. Not Mayweather. Robinson had to fight a lot cuz he spend more money than he made. Plus the money was different back than. You add up all the fights Robinson had in let say 5 years and he still don't come close to making what Mayweather made in the Hatton or De la Hoya fight alone. I have no doubt if Robinson made 20 million a fight there is no way in hell he fights as much as he did.

    ALL fighters fought more back then...Why do you think so many past greats..had so many fights...Could not all be the fact they all blew their money...As far as money made 20million for a fight back then would be like 100 million in todays terms the statement about that makes zero sense...Those at the elite level who went broke due to their own spending habits the % is not much higher then today...There were no laws on how much promoters managers were entitled to then... Hell people did not even know until years after they were either dead or long long after they were broke did the public know about it....Also boxing was not as publicized as today...the only fighters who drew in huge crowds were world champions and top 10 fighters....


    Robinson 200 career bouts

    Basilio 79 bouts did not die broke

    Armstrong 180 Became a minister donated money and life to underprivileged kids did not die in poverty

    Archie Moore 220 Did not die broke..Was family man comfortable retirement

    Many fights for these guys with 75+ records were early on and many were them not willing to retire....Not all were from money issues like Robinson..

    More fighters go broke today

    VD's general point was - the old guys didn't make the money modern stars like Floyd do, hence they fought more.

    If those guys could make $20m for one fight a year they wouldn't be having 10. It's common sense.

    That's exactly it. I'm surprised the comment went over his head

    My broadband connection doesn't even cost that much for a month.... I'm not going to bother working out how much an hour of broadbandto watch the fight will cost me - needless to say none of it will be going into money mayweather's broke pocket

    Too bad Hearns is not around. but the sentence should have been like this.


    Pac wouldn't handle him, Shane wouldn't handle him, and Floyd sure as hell wouldn't handle him.

    If Tommy Hearns was currently fighting at welterweight he would have fought Paul Williams 3 times already
