Wonderful. I feel like we've made progress.

Computer Results,,,,,,

Ray Robinson stops Ray Leonard by a TKO 11.

Ray Robinson scores a 'flash knockdown' in Round 5.

Ray Leonard will put together a 'functional comeback' in Rounds 7 and 8,
but by Round 9, Ray Robinson takes over..

Robinson will drop a 'battered' Ray Leonard 'twice' in Round 10.

Ray Leonard comes out for Round 11, with swollen features, and after a brief
exchange, Ray Robinson lands a flurry to Leonard's damaged eye's, forcing him to turn
away, where the Referee stops the bout.

Fuck that noise. What you take me for, meng? Kid's #2, Ray's #3.

The weird thing is, I went with Gavilan while reading through a thread about Leonard and went with Leonard while reading through a thread about Gavilan.

Soooooooooooooooo...maybe I'm just a dick.

It can be difficult to hold a firm position on positions. What else could you expect from the greatest division in the history of boxing.

Leonard was a little better on the inside. Maybe a shade better defensivley. Some of that may be because Robinson had bigger power he took more chances.

Leonard and Robinson would probably be a series of fights. I think Leonard could take 1 out of 3.

Hands of Iron · 10-10-2012, 12:42 AM

Not out of the realm of possibility.

I'd pick Leonerd over anyone at 147. He's shown he can beat guys who are probbly better than him in terms of skills and who have a size advantage over him. I think Robinson is more skilled, but if the two Sugar Ray's met I'd go with Leonard.

Ray would beat Robinson, both would easily destroy Floyd.

Hands of Iron · 10-10-2012, 01:04 AM

Would be a bit concerning if they couldn't. Arguably the two greatest natural welterweight talents ever, against a guy who was clearly at his best at 130-140.

TheSouthpaw · 10-10-2012, 01:06 AM

Not even close..Ray Robinson hands down..I would even rank De La Hoya higher than SRL at WW..
