At 147, how would Mayweather match-up with Robinson?

Robinson will be too hard of a fight for Floyd. Floyd won't probably last within 3-5 rounds.

Oh and if Floyd was in Robinson's era, Floyd wouldn't be undefeated.

 

if floyd avoids pw and margarito he sure would have avoided hearns:deal

 

And others like today's journeyman would be champion in the 1940's. Also not the case, especially in era when fighters were forced to fight more frequently-and in era's where there weren't nearly as many opportunities to win world championships, due to the lack of sanctioning bodies.

 

Some of you guys are living in a dreamland. SRR was a better athlete than Floyd will ever be, so this fighter of the past BS is nothing but that, BS.

He was a freak of nature, a physical specimen. Hes faster , bigger, much more powerful than Floyd and possesses an Iron chin, good for war for 15 rounds and very underrated defensively. He will stop Floyd no doubt and might even check hook Floyds ass to the canvas.

I dont think theres videos at 147 of him, videos of him are as a MW and Hes knocking big boys the fck out like a hobby.

Check 1:20, thats what will happen to Floyd.

Mayweather matches up horribly with Robinson. Worse than he does with Leonard in my opinion. Robinson was a better back-foot boxer than Leonard, rangier, and had more firepower in his hands.

 

10/10. Mayweather has NOTHING to beat Hearns.

 

Predicting how the fight would go is pretty much impossible to do, the only outcome that you could pretty much say won't happen is Floyd knocking out Robinson. Fat chance that happens. You could just use the template of the Mosley fight. Mosley has an iron chin and was old, gassed and Floyd couldn't knock him out. Or even stun him. So, taking a prime Robinson, Floyd pretty much isn't knocking out Robinson.

Floyd's a smart fighter, Robinson does have holes in his game. When coming forward and throwing combos, Robinson had the tendency to drop his hands while firing off shots. So, Mayweather definitely would have opportunities to pot shot and move, but the problem for Mayweather is he doesn't move as much anymore. He stands in the pocket and works from there. The closest, modern, fight I think it would resemble is when Mayweather fought De La Hoya. Even though it was at 154, still, Mayweather would have to deal with the size advantage of Robinson at 147. Robinson would back up Mayweather to the ropes and Mayweather would just roll on the ropes and try and counter/pot shot his way to victory.

So, going by that template, Robinson would win, definitely. Robinson would be able to keep up the pressure, and wouldn't gas out after 6 rounds. He'd fire off his fast, powerful, fists all night long. Mayweather does have his moments though. It wouldn't be a complete beat down, or white wash or anything like that. Mayweather would hit Robinson, he'd get his shots in, as mentioned.

First couple of rounds I could see a feel out round. Robinson was versatile and does have the long ranging jab. He would get sloppy though. That jab would go one at a time, and he would drop it. Mayweather would have opportunities to get a right hand in and connect. After doing that for a couple of rounds, Robinson then realizes he needs to pick up the pace, he does, and starts to push Mayweather to the ropes. Robinson fires off shots and connects, Mayweather rolls tries his best to counter, but just not enough to win the rounds. So, I guess as a prediction, I would go with the safe pick in Robinson. Not sure how, may'be he stops Mayweather late, or wins a comfy decision, but Mayweather has his fair share of moments, wins a couple of rounds.

 

Putting all bias aside & being as honest as possible.... Robinson beats the **** out of him.

I think SRR takes a while to time fmj, about 6 or 7 rounds probably, once he does its all over, floyd has not got the ability or natural size to deal with Robinson, who IMO is the best overall offensive fighter ever caught on film.

 

wait, wait, you actually think floyd dlh was close?! 8-4 or 9-3, no points given for punching arms.

from what i have seen floyd losses against srl and srr

 

I thought people were crazy saying this fight was close when I watched it at the time.
I thought Oscar gave Floyd a fair bit of trouble, but lost wide and gassed.

But having watched again, it was probably a little closer than I thought..I couldn't give some of those rounds to Floyd for simply admiring his own defensive work.
