If SRR has started his career in say...2000...

Everyone likes Sexy Sergio, but it is indeed that sad truth that Sugar Robinson KOs him.:| Two pretty boys fighting. Ringside will be nothing but women.

 

i think you hit the nail on the head:good
i think many people forget that boxing has been around for a couple thousand years. its not like weve reinvented it in the last 20 years.

 

:-(

yeah Pacquiao is the GOAT right? Dumbass

 

Thats what most fans of today dont understand...The fighters of the past had the toughness in which most fighter today lack...Not saying that all dont have but its only a select few.

Sergio has those hoes, you didnt know!!!:rofl

 

No he means he'd fight in multiple weight classes probably as many as Floyd or maybe one more and be undefeated making the most money, being rated p4p for almost his whole career and retire for 2 years and come back.

 

He wouldn't have been raped ?

 

Not trying to get into something here but just wanna point out that foreman won THE title during his comeback, it wasn't just some belt.

 

Not quite, he missed most of the Murderers row, Charley Burley for example.

People really need to educate themselves on this subject. I can't be bothered to get into it all, but he didn't duck Charley Burley.

 

boxing is the one sport where intangibles matter as much or more than athleticism, and the success of guys like Rios, Hamed, maussa in the modern world prove its not just being a super athlete or even having solid technique that wins fights and gets belts.

Robinson had speed, power, height, and could probably have made welterweight just as easy today, not middle. At middle probably doesn't stack up physically well to super prime smallest ever jones, but I can't see many other guys having robinsons' raw attributes. I think floyd actually is more technically sound, but is not as fast, athletic, heavy handed, and more than anything TOUGH. Robinson if managed properly could be 50-0, but there are a few exeptional guys he would want to maybe steer clear of, large guys like James Toney and Hopkins (not sure when Toney last made middleweight) but at welter I can't see Mosley beating him in any way shape or form just from physical attributes.

 

If SRR was around today he'd enjoy the same benefits of modern training /nutrition as all the other athletes, and he would be a beast. I can't believe people are even mentioning Sergio Martinez in the same sentence with him. Martinez couldn't hold his jockstrap in the ring.

 

And the next day weigh ins insure he could stay at welter for a long, long time, or junior middle. Same day took that weight allowance away, middleweights back then really weighed between 160-165 on fightnight, instead of 175-180.

 

With the exception of a peak Roy Jones, no one else would even come close to bothering SRR, he could do it all.
