All the old timers really had over FLoyd is a large quantity of tomato cans that they fought for paychecks. Thats not to say that there aren't ATG fighters who accomplished more than Mayweather but when you look past the filler on their records, there aren't really that many more quality wins.
Someone mentioned that Robinson was 128-1 at one point but how many of those 128 were really top tier guys? Todays fighters can't/don't fight cans like that.
Thats not really a knock on the old timers, its just the way it was. They all did it. Its the historians who ignore the fact that not every guy that say, Robinson fought was on the level of Gavilan or Armstrong.
