Ray Robinson vs Floyd Maweather @ 147 or 154

[Beanflicker]

If Sugar would win at 147lb he would wipe Floyd at light middle but the reality is Mayweather would never dare fight such as risky fighter and would wait for a decline, accuse him of PED or weight drain him to make 140lb.

I don't think Floyd would be able to because SRR wouldn't refuse a drug test like a certain Philippino did.

Then he would weight drain him, blame Arum, not enough money, not being the first name called in the fight........

Good thread.

Right.

Before we discuss who is better..lets talk about their opponents.

Were half of sugar rays opponents boxers or plumbers and carpenters.

Sugar ray is a great fighter but a prime floyd would nulify and destroy rays best weapons.

Floyd is smarter and the only fighter that will walk away from the sport with half a billion (or more) in the bank..

TBE (not the best ever but the best of THIS era!)

Prime Ray was at welterweight, prime Floyd was at super feather. Does not take a genius to know who would win.

Have to agree, Floyd is BCE no question about that.

Thes matchups never make sense. Will we discuss SRR vs Holyfield at LHW next? Maybe SRR vs Moorer.

The point is the size difference defeats the purpose of the debate.

SRR almost certainly beats Floyd, means nothing.
