Pac is credited too much because he always had to use catch weights and drained Oscar De la Hoya by making him come to weltweight at a catch weight. And he hadn't fought at that in 10 years. He also drained margarito and cotto. He may be an 8 division champ but he couldn't fight fighters at their best and no one but a few recognize that.

Michael;

Robinson fought in arguably the toughest era of boxing. He fought after the great depression where boxing became bloated with talent.

He had many losses in a row after his 120th professional fight. I would like to see if Mayweather can go 120 wins 1 loss against top tierre.

Robinson, before his 50's fight, had defeated multiple hall of famers and the best welterweights of his time, including Henry Armstrong [arguably the 2nd greatest p4p fighter ever].

10 great fighters Robinson beat [some also beat old SRR];

1. Armstrong

2. Galivan

3. Basilo

4. Fullmer

5. Bobo Olson

6. Lamotta

7. Turpin

8. Zivic

9. Luc Van Dam

10; Charley Fusary

Leave the site! lol jk

All of these guys defeated multiple hall of famers, all were undisputed champions.

For reference; Floyd Mayweather is yet to defeat an undisputed champion.

Also; Lamotta was a come-forward fighter, but so was Castillo [who IMO beat Mayweather].

Some of the greatest ever have been come-forward fighters. Frazier whopped Ali, an old Duran beat prime Leonard, etc.

Most fighters are overrated in their prime.

I remember Tyson in 1989, even HBO analyst were hinting that he was the greatest ever, even greater than Ali & Louis.

Today few would make such claims.

People are now doing the same thing with Mayweathe. Now that Pacman is out they say; ''what if Mayweather vs Duran'' and you still have people who say ''Mayweather would beat every1''. Once Mayweather is past his prime they will say similar comments as you, but then praise the next hypejob

Of course this is a media made fighter granted he has been involved in some of the most compelling action fights in the last few years as a boxer he is very overrated just cause you are in entertaining fights that don't mean you are a great fighter

Everyone has an opion. To me, this era is a stronger era than the Robinson era.

Floyd mayweather also beat champions/hall of famers.

@Elisha Here are 15 easily:

Diego corrales

Miguel Cotto

Genero hernandez

Zab Judah

Carlos baldomir

Arturro Gatti

Shane mosley

Saul Alveraz

Luis Castillo ( 2 times )

The " primed " Demarcus Corley

Victor ortiz

Robert Guerrero

Shane mosley

Jaun marquez

Ricky hatton

Floyd did not have to fight these guys 24 combined times to have over 100 victories.

He fought them once. Because he's that great.

Floyd has never been knocked out, never lost to bums, and never lost 2 to 3 fights in a row.

And one more thing. Floyd mayweather is a better fighter than Robinson. And his record proves it.

Robinson had more fights but Floyd mayweather is better.

i don;t know..

I was just reading articles from a few years back and people were thinking about dream match ups between him, Duran, Robinson, Leonard, Hearns, Whitaker and such. Most analysts favoured Pacquiao to defeat them all except for Robinson of course. He wasn't just beating these guys in their eyes, Pacquiao was brutalising them.

I think this is just a bad case of where people fell into the hype here. Just like how Canelo was overrated when he came in against Mayweather. He is still the best JMW outside Mayweather but peopel were actually believing Mayweather would get knocked out. Still, l thought Canelo would do better but he didn't. Canelo and Pacquiao are extremely similar in the fact they destroy come forward fighters but struggle against counter-punchers or boxers and we've never seen them fight outside fighters too.

And i'm not saying Pacquiao isn't an All-Time Great or anything but in all honesty, he wouldn't be able to beat any of those men. Can anyone go against even Robinson. It was ridiculous.
