Wow the guy you always see on replays against Lamotta gets hit with silly punches, and is realitively passive though he throws the occasional combinations. Truth of the matter? He's a 35-38 year old fighting guys who are naturally 20-30 pounds heavier then him, and earlielr on he was fighting at his welterweight size at middleweight. My friend who has more resources than me procured full length welterweight fights of Robinson's that I've been watching, and he is a different man! He is as quick as Leonard throws combinations as smoothly Guzman, but with the KO power of Hearns. He still didn't have the greatest defense, but he had quick reflexes, and great footwork. I think one of Mayweather's greatest gifts and faults is his reliance on speed and defence. One god-given the other trained into him since he was a boy, but Robinson is way faster and hits harder than ODLH, and throws a lot better combinations with more importantly amazing stamina. I think he would have had troubles hitting Mayweather a whole lot just because he didn't fight any fighters like Mayweather especially guys as good defensively, and I also think Mayweather would have been able to tag Robinson, but Robinson was more aggressive when he was younger would have been too much for Mayweather. In 15 rounds I think Mayweather may even get stopped by Robinson but either way he loses. I've always said I rank things how I see them, and I have always try to be truly unbiased. This is an apology to all you guys who even though I doubt you've seen many if any welterweight moments of Robinson, and I bet a lot of people just want to fit in I still apologize to all for the hard time I've given you.
