    Mike Nunn was all wrong for Toney.

    Until he wasn't.

    This. Robinson would have been all wrong for 'Lights Out'

    Ray Robinson wins a clear decision in their 1st fight. In the second fight Toney shows up weighing 190 pounds and the fight is cancelled

    Sugar Ray that was 130-3 nah.

    Sugar Ray part 2: If they fought 4 times, I think Toney could've gotten 1 win. He was less untouchable.

    Boxers, guys that moved on the outside gave James problems. I don't see Robinson knocking James out though, but winning a decision.
    James was a great inside fighter, but he liked to lay back and counter, and I see this as a bad style matchup for him.

    do not get disrespectful. First, Mike was 34/35 at the time of their fights and second, Mike was still a very good
