    Btw Floyd butchered and stopped Gatti and so would Robinson. In fact Robinson might kill Gatti

    I don't think that he was much bigger at all. Robinson started his career at 135 pounds and he could make 143 pounds fighting at welter in the night of the fight. Mayweather At 147 is more robust to be honest and he is still very fast, the size argument here is ridiculous

    Ray was 3.5" taller .. He starred his career 12 pounds heavier and fought the second half of his career as a middleweight to a welterweight .. your response is uneducated.

    Your response is literally trash. Being taller does not make you "MUCH BIGGER".
    Floyd at 147 looks much more solid and robust than the skinny Robinson at welter. Like i said, the size is not any factor in this fight.

    Which means that he needs to gain much more muscle mass to reach WW, which means that he's naturally smaller...

    I have no problem with anybody picking any of them ,simply i pointed that your reason "Robinson was much bigger" is ridiculous because it is not truth at all, not a natural size difference enough to be a determinant factor here.

    So the 5'8 guy who peaked at 130lbs, is the same size as the 5'11 guy who peaked at 144lbs? Wtf? Even the whole they started at the weight straw argument is bull**** too. Floyd at 18 was a featherweight in the amateurs, at 18 Robinson was a lightweight in the pros. By the time they were both 25, Robinson was weighing 147-152ish, whereas Floyd was lightweight champion.

    Robinson is clearly the bigger guy, and when it's blatant to anyone with eyes that he's an awful style, and is better than Floyd, then this becomes a silly question.

    Robinson fought in an era where he was weighed In the fight night and he barely weighed 143 pounds as a welterweight it is very likely that fighting in the 135 class Floyd weighed similarly in the ring.
    Like i said... The size difference argument is a bull**** here, robinson was a skinny guy.

    You are so stupid kid. Go to watch dragon ball
