    Floyd is not a threat to any top ATG at welterweight. This is not his weight division. This is where he chose to set up shop and make money.

    Come on now, we all know that PBF doesn`t take this kind of opponent... And while we`re at it, PBF lost to CASTILLO !!! And we`re talking about him and Robinson ?????

    Robinson on points. I see no reason to predict Floyd being knocked out. His defence is great and his chin is solid to boot.

    I'd say Robinson in a 10-5 type decision.

    SRR had height,reach BIG power, skill level, ring generalship, and BIG experience all going for him. While PBF, wasn`t even at 147 long enough nor was it where he did his best body of work at. SRR, hurts him and stops him. PBF cherry pib=cs, Robinson truly fought em all ! PBF would be so busy trying to run, duck, smother and hide, that he wouldn`t see the big shot that will get him...

    I always respect your posts... But how will short, defensive minded PBF be able to win a round against an aggressive SRR ? Robbie would take it to him and he is a busy fighter, so I don`t see PBF, rolling and smothering shots, and be able to fire back and land enough ...

    Ray Robinson at a much higher level, Ray by KO and quicker than we would think...Ray had the guns, the speed and would be aggressive in dispatching Floyd Jr. SRR KO 1-5

    Robinson is as close to unbeatable as any fighter ever has been, but he's lost rounds to lesser fighters. Seeing Floyd win a handful of rounds really isn't that difficult for me to imagine.
