Ray Robinson vs Floyd Maweather @ 147 or 154

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think for me, the long and the short of it is that :

A) Floyd appears to have the more impressive list of opponents, although I seriously have to question if some most of those 'names' will stand the test of time (Hatton was a 'monster' less than 10 years ago).

B) Has generally had a more successful career. Although with more control, more weight classes, more belts, more bureaucracy, there is more room for a 'career'.

C) Neither fighter has faced anything like what the other guy offered.

D) I still think Ray was naturally a lot bigger than Floyd. Although is clearly slower than Floyd and not THAT powerful but crucially punched with a mean intent AND in combination! He was tough as nails, had a longer reach and an equal jab to Floyd and so think that he was well equipped to dismantle Floyd.

E) I think there have been MANY fighters over the years who have looked better than what Ray did back then. That's just the process of time tested teaching.

F) I don't belive Floyd's isn't currently a natural Welterweight. He is a consummate professional yet couldn't make 144 against Marquez. He has obviously grown over the years so was probably once a natural light welterweight. He was starving himself to make 130.
