    Ray, Ray and Hearns are three fighters that have the tools and mentality to force a stoppage.

    Floyd is smarter and tougher than his detractors give him credit for so I could see him seeing the final bell after 15 rounds, but best WW versus best WW, I can't see any other winner than Monsieur Sucre.

    Mayweather wins by decision and it's a comfortable win. Advances in training, nutrition, and sports psychology would mean Ray would be dealing with a way of fighting he'd had no experience with. There have been decades for fighters to study Ray and the older fighters. You can't study fighters from the future that perform a certain way no one has before.
    For example, Archie Moore seeing Roy Jones Jr. fight with those hooks out of the line of vision would find it bewildering to see that. Floyd shoulder rolling Ray would be the same. Floyd was never knocked out or legitimately dropped, so a KO is out of the question. The stronger the opponent, the better Floyd always was. Floyd wins comfortably—same deal as the Pacquiao fight

    Do you seriously believe that Ray Robinson never saw anybody use their shoulder to roll a right hand? Do you seriously believe that Floyd invented that move or that he did it in some mystical, previously undiscovered fashion? Utter jibberish from top to bottom.

    To be honest, I've never even seen Ray fight in his prime. It's tough for me to make a pick based purely on imagination. Have you seen Ray fight against a guy who was good at shoulder rolling or are you just imagining that he did?

    A new member?

    With this absolutely laughable horse manure?

    Yeah. I’m very confident to say that you’re trolling.

    Who did he fight that was a really strong opponent on the night of the fight?
