Can Anyone Beat Robinson over 15 At Welterweight?

They must be no one is that stupid, are they?

 

How much days weigh in?

Same day weigh in it means he faces a 147 lbs Hearns
1 day weigh in it can suddenly be a 154 lbs Heanrs
Every day more becomes much worse for SRR

 

If Hearns couldn't stop or survive Leonard, he isn't going to stop or survive Robinson. Robinson, remember was also a very big Welter, more durable than Leonard and certainly hit harder and much more aggressive. Hearns would be KO'd and badly too.

 

Worse might have been the bad word for it, less better would have suited more.

 

It's likely Gavilan hadn't really hit his peak by that point. Just to put the source I posted into perspective. None of us have seen the fight or truly know the goings on of the time, so to outright dismiss it is silly, in my opinion.

Mayweather's Philly Shell Defence will bet just too much for Robinson. He telegraphs his left hook way too much. Mayweather loves when opponents come to him, Robinson will be no different. He'll throw the whole kitchen sink only to find himself depressed and truly in awe of the masters defensive capabilities.

Floyd comes out to meet Robinson, Robinson starts to retreat,
If Robinson goes back an inch farther, he'll wind up in a ringside seat,
Robinson swings with a left, Robinson swings with a right,
Look at the kid carry the fight,
Robinson keeps backing but there's not enough room,
It's a matter of time till Floyd lowers the boom,
Now Floyd lands with a right, what a beautiful swing,
And the punch lifts Robinson clean out of the ring,
Robinson is still rising and the ref wears a frown,
For he can't start counting till Robinson comes down,
Now Robinson disappears from view, The crowd is getting frantic,
But radar stations have picked him up, somewhere over the Atlantic.
Who would have thought when they came to the fight?
That they'd witness the launching of a human satellite.
Yes the crowd did not dream, when they thought of the comparison,
That they would see Floyd Mayweather Jr. eclipse Sugar Ray Robinson.

43 Have Tried, 43 Have Failed.

 

Leonard has the best shot, I think. He fought the 15 round distance, has a granite chin, fast hands, faster feet, and can box well.

Would I favor him? Hell no.

 

I'm sticking with loadsa guys.

 

Robinson is similar to hearns in terms of his reach and height and would outbox leonard to death. I'm telling you Mayweather is the only one that stands a chance. Leonard has been bruised and hurt before in his fights whereas with Mayweather, I have never seen Mayweather with a closed eye or bruised face ever.

 

It isn't funny, no one's biting. Time to put an end to it.

 

:rofl

 

Robinson would also be able to add weight if there is a day before weigh in. I belive Hearns would win, but the fight would be 154 Hearns vs 154 Robinson. Not 154 Hearns vs. 147 Robinson.

 

I wouldn't favor De La Hoya, but I think he's capple of getting a win.

 

True, but Hearns has proven to be capable of putting much more weight to his frame.

At cruiserweight Hearns certainly beats Robinson... but that isn't welterweight.
It's just an example that Hearns had a frame that could have more weight on it.
