    I think some may win, and certainly give him nightmares, but Robinson certainly can win it. Can anyone give Ray BIG problems at the very least

    Everytime you post about Duran, God kills a kitten.

    Kid Azteca

    Robinson avoided Mexico's Kid Azteca for years, cause Kid Azteca was the most feared bodypuncher then, and in fact, the "Godfather of the Left Hook to the Liver", cause Kid Azteca is the one that created, invented & perfected the left hook to the liver, that years later, generations of Mexican fighters followed his craft, to even today.
    Henry Armstrong also avoided Kid Azteca.

    Kid Azteca would've KO'd Robinson with ease.

    Sugar Ray Leonard,Tommy Hearns would be my top2 choices to beat SRR.but i wouldn't say they definetly would win.only give good chance to them.

    And De la hoya,Trininad would cause major problems also.

    Maybe could add Duran,Mosley,Whitaker and Mayweather altough i think they are little bit too small and they shouldn't be in discussion.

    SRR's prime is at 147 where he's never lost. I don't think anybody would beat him there, but he could run into some trouble vs Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, and I even think Pacquiao and Mayweather could give a competitive match.

    The Marvelous Marvin Hagler with the "war" cap on (the one who mauled Tommy Hearns) would mug Sugar Ray Robinson, knocking him out probably in less than 10 minutes.

    Watch the film. Ray Robinson is in the audience, along with Carmen Basilio and Gene Fullmer!

    Prime SRR was at 147 and even a 160lb version wouldn't get mugged by Hagler :lol:
