    Means Fullmer could handle larger fighters such as Sugar Ray Robinson. One can extrapolate whether Fullmer would bull Floyd to the ropes and beat him up like he did Paret...that is all conjecture to be discussed.

    Since when did Mayweather ever fight at MW or even weigh close to 160? And he is being matched with Fullmer? It's rough enough for him he is being matched with Griffith at 147 in the other thread going on right now

    If Maidana's awkwardness troubled May I can only imagine what Fullmer brings

    Robinson and Floyd aren't the same guy. Robinson liked going to war and left himself open.

    yep, hurts him far to many times for Floyd to take over 15

    Think of the bout between Mustafa Hamsho and Wilfred Benitez....that's what this one would look like. Fullmer was entirely too strong, too rough and resourceful...especially when fighting n
    smaller guys. Fullmer by an ugly, one sided decision.

    Plus what Fullmer had to eat..."catchweights" and all that kinda garbage. I wish Fullmer was around today so he could eliminate Canelo and Mayweather.
    BTW, I was watching the Canelo-Lara fight last night....and there's no way Alvarez won that fight....they screwed Lara IMO.

    I have Canelo vs Lara on my rewatch and rescore list later this week. I will post it in the fights I watched scored today sticky

    But it does seem like many are split on the outcome, so robbery or screwed does not seem right? I watched it an felt like Canelo won or Lara gave it away....but admittedly I didn’t score it so it is just an overview gut feel.

    Don’t know these guys from Adam but they are also split-
    16 for Lara
    14 for Canelo
    And 14 draws
