Does Anyone Here Really Think Anyone at 147lbs Beats Sugar Ray Robinson

SRR defined P4P for ALL-TIME!! Prime SRR is the favorite over ANYONE ever at 47, IMO The guy had it all.

 

Exactly.

 

So then who beats him?

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Arturo Gatti KO 1. Hahaha j/k

 

So then who beats him?

 

Charlie "Sweet Pea" Zelenoff

 

Can't think of a single fighter at 147 that could outright beat Ray Robinson.

 

haha..........i think that robinson could beat anyone ever at 147 though a loss on an off night is possible

 

Sugar Ray Leonard would have had a legitimate shot of winning, since he could match SRR in terms of speed, could hit hard, and probably was a better defenisve fighter that Robinson.

You can't rule out Napoles (who possessed an impressive mixture of power and ultra-smooth boxing skill), or Griffith (who had the strength, and versatility to give anyone a hard night at welterweight). In a three fight series, I'd say all of these fighters could easily have taken at least one of the fights.

 

I think a real great like Leonard or Hearns would beat him on an off night and due to their calibre they would stretch him on any occasion but thats the closest anyone could ever get if he was given the preperation periods of modern fighters.

 

Ahh how did I miss him? I think Hearns would have had a pretty decent shot.

 

probably not.

 

im not disagreeing, he might of been the best, but i find that to me the form of alot of the old fighters looks sloppy

 

Carmen Basilio might of beat him at 147. Basilio WAS a 147 fighter that moved up to 160 just to fight SRR and beat him once, and many feel twice (including all of press row at the second fight).

 

Hearns would give Robinson plenty of trouble.
