What do you think? Could Robinson ever beat Marciano?
Let's say they fought 10 times. Could SRR win at least one?

Not a chance. Rocky would have killed him. Too much weight.

Sugar may have been too quick I think. Rocky would be on the back foot and wouldnt be able to get off. @greynotsoold How could Marciano get off his punches against a slickster like this? I dont see his weight being much of an advantage.
I don't think there's any question that Robinson is BY FAR the more skilled fighter between the two.

Robinson wouldn't have a chance. It wasn't his nature to stay away and play it safe; if he did Marciano would cut him off.
For the record, I think Ezzard Charles beats Ray Robinson St least 8 times out of 10.

SRR is not taking Rocky's punches on his arms and body for 15 rounds, there's no way. He would have wilted.

When I seen the title of the thread I was expecting it to be yours @brocktonblockbust but then again the title isn't crazy enough.
He Who Is Brave Is Free
Wisdom, compassion and courage are the three universally recognised moral qualities of men.
haha @Manos de Piedra I am one crazy-ass mofo aint I.
If SRR could not last with Maxim then he would not have done it with Rocky who I am sure would have loved to have fought him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Imagine the punch that KO'd Walcott landing on a welterweight/middleweight......yeah Rocky, by MURDER
I know the old school fighters would fight a division or two above their normal weights but this is too far a jump to even consider. Given that if Rocky drained himself down to light heavy it would be a different story.
It's like Jake Lamotta said, "LOOK AT THESE SMALL HANDS, IM NEVER GONNA FIGHT JOE LOUIS". And Lamotta was a natural MW, Robinson grew into it over time.
Lamotta couldn't fight Joe Louis and SRR couldn't fight Marciano!
