Sugar Ray Robinson vs Henry Armstrong but with a twist

I don`t think Robinson`s body could have been that strong at that weight, he was 5'11, I don`t think he`d have the power to keep Armstrong of and would get bullied around the ring.

 

O think Armstrong would get him, Ray wasn't a bully in the ring and I doubt he had the power he had at WW at 136, I think a prime Armstrong would push him about with his shoulder and get some good leverage into his body shots. I didn't know that Zivic was the fight that Ray used to boost himself, I thought it was his loss to LaMotta. But anyways if he wasn't good enough to put on a clinic and wasn't powerful enough to keep Henry of him then I think the only logical outcome is Henry by a UD in a brutal hard to watch fight

 

At full weight 147 prime Armstrong beats prime Robinson. PERIOD

 

Thx. You got to cut yr own path in this life.

 

When Robinson faced Armstrong, he won every round. I can't picture a realistic scenario (weight, age etc) where Armstrong claws back more than half of those rounds, and he isn't knocking Robinson out either.
I pick the Robinson who beat Angott, Shapiro, Zivic, Servo at or under 140, to stick and jab his way to winning enough rounds. And when Armstrong manages to get it to close quarters as he inevitably would, Robinson wouldn't be out of his depth. He can trade, and he's the superior puncher - power, variety, placement.
He still wins IMO, but it's much closer than their actual fight.

PS: this time Robinson doesn't take it easy on his hero.

 

At this weight and time?

Armstrong, in a closer bout than you think.

Of course Armstrong will pressure Robinson, and Robinson had not found his fully developed 'man strength' at this weight. However, I see Armstrong getting caught with uppercuts and bolos, though his underrated head movement mitigates quite a few.

Armstrong Decision .

 

Robinson would outbox him. In and out, side to side. Dancing to that big band music.
Speed kills. Even if Ray didn't have the power to KO Hank(he did) he would put on a boxing show. Armstrong would be looking for him all night but trying to find that needled in a haystack can be a *****.
There no carrying in this one

 

Neither were Sugar Ray Robinson. He had some gifts that were uncommon like speed/power as well as height and range. Lightening speed you can't prepare for. 136lbs 20 years old he was a blur. Long night for Henry who by the way had life and death with Amber's both fights. He got by him once by swallowing his own blood for most of the fight. Then Ambers beat him.
