    You think Napoles would cause him trouble too?

    Its strange, but out of that list I would have thought most would have gone for Leonard to give him the hardest fight.

    I just think that Robinson is like a Leonard-upgrade. There is no styles-make-fights argument here; In my head Robinson is the better version, and so he wins. Its that simple.

    Napoles is one of my faves so i might be biased but he was a great boxer defencivly and offencivly he would cause an WW trouble the only trouble i have with it is a mover (Hedgemon lewis) gave him alot of trouble in the 1st fight

    Dont you mena SRL is a downgrade from SRR

    No, I'm saying Robinson is an upgraded version of Leonard.

    You can say it either way. In a H-2-H, time doesn't exist. Leonard is a downgraded version of Robinson OR Robinson is an upgraded version of Leonard; its all the same.

    Anyway, were arguing over pronunciation here. It all amounts to the same thing.

    sometimes we look for the forrest through the trees. he would give an interesting angle to robinson and WOULD win some rounds but i dont think floyds workrate and style means he can beat robinson. robinson if anything was beaten by heavy hard sluggers. the kinda swarmers that give you nightmares and are legends themselves. lamotta,basillio,graziano.

    floyd cant hurt ray, he can stay level with him i terms of speed, has a much lower workrate only his defence and counterpunching would give ray problems and woudl be a mild chess match before robby figuered him out.

    also robinson was a respectful middlewieght and competed at light-heavy....and was winning. floyd scraped a title at 154 that he didnt defend. 135/140 is floyds prime weight. just too small in general.

    All good points.

    Except Graziano never beat Robinson, although Ray was put down.

    The guy had shitloads of fights; they sometimes get muddled for me as well.

    And yes, Fulmer did cause him problems.

    What was Ray's best punch?

    It has to be the left hook I think.

    Not just Fulmer II; he took a lot of guys out with that punch.
