Sugar Ray Robinson vs Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[pasawayako]

LOL. is this debatable? nothing beats floyd in a fantasy match up. nyahahahaha

[Kagami Taiga]

i dont even buy anything into these comparisons. u ppl need to understand something. sports evolve. the athletes evolve, the rules evolve and the fans evolve. comparing robinson to floyd is very difficult. is robinson the greatest?? yes. does floyd arguably have more skill??? yes. and ive seen robinson fights, he's impressive. but floyd's skills are modernly evolved. he does stuff fighters didnt do at the time robinson fought. its just true.

What current WW wouldnt Hearns KO?

Clottey. Probably because Clottey would just go into turtle shell defense and try to survive 12 rounds then claim he had diarrhea.

[SugarRoyJones]

Robinson because he's bigger and wayy more aggressive. If they were the same size I think Floyd beats him.

[Khalid X]

and to the person who said the athletes of yesterday couldn't compete with the guys today.....are you out ur ****in mind?

Robinson, Leonard, Hearnes and most of those guys were huge for WW....matter of a fact I have never seen bigger WW's than them in all of my years watching boxing. Not only that but they were extremely athletic as well as skill.

[etlux]

honestly I can't see any way possible that Floyd would beat SRL.

Can someone give me their enlightened break down of how they imagine this happening?

SRL had big chin, huge heart, possibly greatest ATG stamina ever, was FASTER than Floyd, had ten times bigger work rate than Floyd, threw ten times more combinations than Floyd.

Can someone give me even an iota of an idea of how Pac or Floyd would ever stand a chance against SRL?

I think he can beat both Pac and Floyd on the same night and still have gas in the tank.

he went life and death with basillio when SRR was close to 40 and shot

he wasnt shot.he was coming off a k.o of fulmer for the mw belt and looked great.wasnt at his best by no means but he still shouldnt have struggled with a 5'6 ****er.he was also almost k.od at least 3 times at ww to lesser guys than floyd

You've seen enough of SRR to come up with that conclusion? Serious question.

When was he ever almost KO'd at welterweight? Tommy Bell is about the only welterweight who ever managed to hurt him.

I think Mayweather would have his hands full with Kid Gavilan. These were big welterweights we're talking about, each almost 6 feet tall.

i dnt think ppl are tlkin about size. i think ppl are tlkin about skill. size wise, floyd beats none of those guys. its just impossible. but they are all natural wws who went up as far as mw. floyd aint goin to mw. like i said rules evolve. the game changes. its very hard to compare. so i dont.
