    Would Sharkey be a step too far for Ray, or would Robinson be able to pull it off

    I once made a Tom Sharkey vs prime Tyson thread

    The consensus was that Mike decapitates him.

    Sharkey would make it rough and ugly and win over 15, much physically stronger than LaMotta and with more power

    I'm thinking something similar, for as crude as Sharkey was the man was an effective rough-houser and I see that making Ray uncomfortable

    That said, Robinson will eventually land and land plenty.

    A refs fight … if it was allowed to go rough , Sharkey way too strong … if not Ray may win but Sharkey was a super strong tireless hard hitting rough brute
