    This is why If it was their first bout, and I was a betting man I'd put my money on Mayweather if they fought. I would probbly just put some v.Cash on him.

    Sooooo you reckon Money May will be able to shoulder roll and counter SRR well enough to beat him over 15?

    In short, yes I do.
    Before we get started. Your not one of those people who thinks Mayweather is a runner are you?
    Now if Robinson dose the smart thing and box off his back foot than he wins. However, if he fights agresively as he's known to do than, I like Mayweather. Mayweather has a way of getting oppoents to be agresive against him. Also stanama has never been an issue with Mayweather. He can go a strong 15.
    Who at welterweight that Robinson fought cam compare stylisticly to Mayweather? I belive Mosley is a lesser version of an agresive Robinson.
    There will be a molmet of truth when Robinson lands a big shot on Mayweather.
    Robinson fights with a low guard. There's nothing wrong with this, but Mayweather will be able to counter over it.
    I understand that Shane Mosley isn't Ray Robinson, but like I said. He's a lesser version of an agresive Robinson. In the Mosley fight Mayweather is right in front of Mosley. Countering him all fight. Mayweather will stay in front of Robinson. Countering him. Keeping a punch in his face and tying up before Robinson can get anything going. It's a simmilir stragaty to what Randy Turpin would use to upset him.

    If you read more about Grebs fabulous movement and angle attack skills by the most astute boxing writer and referee of his day E.W. Dickerson of the Grand Rapids Herald, and focus on Haglers Ken Norton like inabilities in this area of fighting you may reconsider.
    I’ve always liked two eyed keyed up A game Harrys Greb chances vs Hagler. Ray Arcel did too!

    The post was written 5 years ago, much water has flowed under the bridge. 5 years ago I wouldn't know who's Emerson Dickerson.
