i say SRR wins 2 of 3

if 1 out of 3 times his legs were tied together, maybe.
Ray would have found a way around Mayweather's style by probably breaking his shoulders and elbowing his temple on the inside and then finishing him off in the 8th round. Floyd would walk out of that fight ruined
okay this is absurd
the great ray robinson was invincible at welterweight, and floyd in my opinion is not a legit welterweight.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
i wouldn't know, ive hardly seen that much footage of Sugar Ray at WW.
Only against Jake lamotta
he was beatable, everyone is beatable
but sugar ray was close to unbeatable, i know he lost like 30 times but he was fighting too much
the more fights you have i reckon, the higher the chances of you loosing are
Most of Robinson's losses were toward the end of his career. IMO PBF is not in the same league as Robinson.
This post is stupid
Ray lost only 19 out of over 200 I think he went undefeated for over 125 fights before he lost his 1st one to lamotta guys today dont fight 125 times even....And they were alot tougher and fought harder with smaller gloves than todays guy's......Originally Posted by VerbotenerKonig
At the tail end of Rays career he lost a bit but this is after countless belts and 200 fights .....At welter Ray was un touchable a prime Robinson at welter compared to Floyd in his yrs at lightweight is like comparing gatti to Tszyu at 140...not even close...Ray beats Floy like Floy beat Gatti
Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
The sad thing is. There is no footage of the flash Ray Robinson was at Welterweight besides one or two. Most of what we see of Ray was in the middle of his prime and not his physical peak. And THAT would have been something to watch.
Yeah I've been waiting on someone to pull a Marciano on Floyd, not being able to get to his head or body so they beat on his arms and shoulders till they turn purple.Originally Posted by Starr
And Ray would. He was RUTHLESS and would do ANYTHING to win. Floyd would walk out of that fight ruined, if he could even walk out of that fight.
SRR is the most overrated guy when compared to nowaday boxers I've ever seen. For his time he was the best ever in comparison, but in no way, shape, or form can he compete with somebody so much faster, and technically more skilled than him. Let's face it technique is way better today than it was back in the day. The more any sport or anything is done improvements are found, and people utilize those improvements, and there have been way too many improvements since when Robinson fought to nowadays for him to ever beat PBF unless they fought at 154 and up. Ray Robinson is such a slow puncher he would be countered all day. People say they had such a good work rate back in the day, but they didn't really its just peoples memories make the past look generally better than it was. Whether it is family memories or fighters unless a traumatic event happens people will always see things better than they really were... like SRR.
