    I was just saying it to get a laugh or two out of someone. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think Floyd is going to dominate Shane but, he ain't gonna knock him out.

    I don't fault him for saying that....I don't agree, but Floyd is a fighter who pumps himself up as the biggest thing ever...and I think it helps him operate at this level. If Floyd wasn't confident we'd see a fighter who is not able to get the most out of the gifts he has. He's already a cautious fighter to begin with, if he's second guessing himself he'd be a defensive shell. But with his confidence borderlining on arrogance he has got to be expecting the kinds of critisim or "hate" that comes his way. Even if Floyd does believe he's better than Sugar...he has to know that no one believe's him.

    Actually Ray started at 135 and beat one of the best lightweights of the day in Sammy Angott.

    That win is at least as good as someone picking up a trinket today.

    I think Floyd's gonna win a 117-111/116-112ish decision.

    Shane will be dangerous to the final bell though so that will keep it interesting I think.

    How do you know? Have you ever seen Robinson/Angott? No, you haven't. Nobody has.

    The boxing propaganda brigade made up that that fight happened.

    Another attempt at humour I presume?

    It worked, I had a chuckle.

    I didn't vote :smoke. yet :lol: trying to figure out when I think a ko wouldve happened.

    But I figured there's different opinions on how the fight would go. Im sure not everyone thinks SRR would ko Floyd in round 1 though.

    No, serious as ****. When I say nobody has seen the fight, I mean nobody who wasn't actually in the building. No one on this website has seen that fight, nobody. So, yeah, if you are 100 years old and was in the building that night in 1942, more power to you.

    Mate...what are you trying to get at? Are you saying it doesnt count?

    Do you actually think Angott was somehow robbed because there is no film to confirm otherwise?

    And actually there could be someone who was there who posts on here...so Ill ask him next time he is online.
