the point I'm making is that you say skill is a bigger part of who wins and who loses, but I've listed Basillio as a guy who although less skilled and smaller than SRR beat him and fought him tooth and nail in a rematch and if Basillio can do that Marciano would crush Robinson.

I just see it the way I see it and that's all. When Ray was 169 he was not in the prime of his career anyway
