Im sorry Old school fighters are not automatically the best

So you think Robinson would beat Roy based on what??Please let me know?

What do you mean based on what? Roy got a glass chin. Where the *** have you been?

Roy always had a bad chin, the reason he was never Tarvered during his prime was because of two things.

1- His shockingly good reflexes/speed
2-The fact that he didn't fight killers.
NOW I'M NOT SAYING he ducked them. I can accept the fact that maybe they all ducked each other. But let's be honest here, he never fought a puncher/killer like Daruiz/Benn/Euban/Mccellan/jAckson.

Robinson is an granite chin warrior and he will catch Roy once. I expect this fight to play out like this.

Robinson takes brutal punishment for the first 4 rounds before catching Roy against the ropes and knocking him out. Cold.


A guy who was knocked out cold four times = beating Robinson because he have a 10-15 pound weight and 1 inch height advantage right?

Damn right i love this era and i have been witnessed to some damn great fighters in this era and just cause a fighter fought in black and damn white does not mean they can beat the greats of this era.people watch a few damn old fights that their grand dad told them to watch and act like it is the damn gospel...hell yea there where great fighters back then but damn it there are great fighters from present day as well....it's like a fighter can't get props until he is old or dead............Hell when Sugar Ray Leonard was fighting he was considered a duck and a pre madana just like sugar ray robinson was.now years later they are warriors.they are fighters i have seen that would wipe the floor with some of these old school cats

I don't even wanna reply right now to this outrageously bad post.
This post make me sick to my stomach.
The fighter with arguably the worst chin out of ANY elite from 140-HW throughout the history of boxing is gonna beat up Robinson?

I don't think he'd "beat him up" but I think he'd win.

Robinson is a small MW, Roy Jones is the opposite.

Robinson has lost to lesser fighters than Roy Jones at 160 so it's not foolish to think he'd lose to Roy.

Like I said, Robinson could hurt him but for the most part I see Roy outboxing him to a Decision.

Robinson's the greatest fighter of all time IMO but at 160 he was far from unbeatable.

Well in his prime you couldnt hit him so that is irrelevant,Robinson was not hard to hit.....hell id take Tommy Hearns over Robinson at 160

I think he'd take his punches, Robinson had a granite chin.

But yes he would be without question the fastest fighter he's ever faced and most athletic and quick on the feet.

Thank you larry for the revelation. I had some malfunction with my tv-set so it only shows black and white and i was wondering why the fighters skills seemed to drop drastically.

It's probably due to the broadcasts not being in full color.

Weird I had the same problem with my TV only their skills improved drastically. When the colour returned I dropped my tea in horror and spat on the screen.

LOL@ comparing Robinson at his best to Jones at his worst.

Give me a break.

James Toney was as big a puncher at SMW as all the names you listed. There's a reason why Toney was P4P#1 at the point when RJJ fought him and those others weren't.

I love Robinson. I mean absolutely admire the man, but athletes get better, smarter and much better trained over time. Using nostalgia as a ruler just doesn't measure up.
