Prime Rocky Marciano vs Prime Mike Tyson

[Rusty Tromboni]

robinson was 100 times the fighter canelo was lol

100 times?

Did you make sure to double-count?

Are you sure it's not 98, or 103?

Are we talking royal/standard or are we talking metric?


I do think Canelo struggles with faster, more mobile fighters. Fighters who allow him to tee off, or allow him to slip and counter will struggle. But faster, more mobile guys will make him look bad. Kinda like Sam Langford or James Toney.

That being said, when did Robinson ever face anyone as big and as good as Canelo? Gavilan, remember, gave up size and stepped into Robonsin's wheelhouse and made it competitve. Basillio straight up bput Ray on the backfoot.

Obvously, people gave them credit for bravery. Probably they were less effective than we want to remember. But they were able to last the distance... why wouldn't the guy who took Golvokin's best do better?

- -If you study boxing instead of emoting like a 13 yr old girl, you'd understand that Loma never over swings wildly.

Even Robby had his limits in Maxim that he was lucky to live thru.

At age 29 he made his last welter title defense before moving to middle. 29 yr old Canelo been weighing in on FightNite 170-180 range, two div above Robby, but let's not spoil it for our resident crustaceans reflexively letting fly projectile loose opinions absent any Qualifying logic.

No matter, a star is a star no matter the era the fates may cast him, so Robby with his telegenic looks and style would reap a small fortune as he did in his day.

Jesus can we get rid of this ****ing guy? Good lord....

Are you ****ing nuts? What the **** is going on here?

Have you ever heard of Jake LaMotta? You ****ing clown.

Jesus Christ get rid of these ****ing idiots.

I put both Rusty and Queeny on ignore a while ago. Give it a try, man. I don't usually do that, but I made an exception in their cases.

That might be a good idea. I don't usually care too much but the History Section used to be the one place on this website where respectful interaction was strictly enforced.

It's a shame to see those high standards fall by the wayside thanks to those two.

Queenie has his strong suits: like ridding the vermin.

You can't say something ******, and then feel bad when you get called out.

Like Kennedy said, don't pray for it to get easier, pray that you get stronger.

LOL, you come to a BOXING forum for validation and self-esteem building!

If you're insecure, why show up to a place where people talk like adults, and some degree of intellectual competence is expected?

Do you also sneak into the men's restroom and complain about piss on the floor by the urinal?
Do you down a gallon of Ben and Jerry's nightly, and then complain that none of the boys have asked you to prom?

oh there you! Gone thru that box of tissues after the last lashing you got?
I wasn't expecting a response, but I was hoping for one...

You know, you can just say, "I am sorry. I don't know what I am talking about", and I will be much more forgiving of your short-comings.

Stick to wrestling and MMA, Rust Bucket.

You seem to know fuck all about boxing.
