    Since Lewis was knocked out by Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman and we know pound for pound SRR was better than either of those guys. Robinson could also punch which is why he TKO'd Lamotta. We know LaMotta could take a punch from a heavyweight better than heavyweights could, even though he never faced a heavyweight and he he wasn't a heavyweight (Sounds like the Bum Rocky Marciano).

    So based on this SRR would stop Lewis with one punch in probably the 3 round.

    Wow you actually caught that? Props to you then. This is as serious as people still believe 180 pound Marciano who fought 180 pound fighters would beat Wladimir and Vitali Klitscko, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Anthony Joshua, ect.

    These Marciano fans love to bring up what he did against bums his own size so I was using their silly logic. If SRR was good at his natural weight then it would mean he could beat Lennox Lewis. Clearly people who know boxing know Lewis would KO Ray with a jab. People who know boxing in this forum also know I was just poking fun at how stupid Marciano fans are.

    I've just read the OP again and still don't see any link to Marciano.

    Question, what's more likely.... Robinson beating Marciano or Marciano beating Lewis?

    What are you some kind of racist?

    Yeah, you will find so many fantasy threads with guys who weighed no more than 170 pounds like Gene Tunney in fantasy fights with guys like Mike Tyson and 99 percent of people here will say Tyson would lose. Too silly to realize boxing has weight classes for a reason.

    How does anyone ever move up in weight successfully with size being the primary factor in determining who wins.

    The bigger guy ALWAYS will win because the added weight creates an invisible force field around their body. All those fights where someone smaller beat a big guy were faked. They took a dive.

    A 160lb boxer has won HW titles no more than 10 years ago.

    They don't.
    Dempsey Willard was filmed inside a Hollywood Studio, and Haye vs Valuev is fake news.
