    Spot on for me... and maybe even a tich more as he gave him a pretty good beating in the first and maybe even the 2nd. And he gave up a lot of weight to Tunney and probably beat him or drew in the 2nd according to the vast majority at ringside

    I was reading some YouTube comments and one poster insisted that Roy Jones would "destroy" Sugar Ray Robinson and was quite insistent about it

    Can't think of any southpaws let alone notable ones SRR fought?

    The diabetic Lamotta always joked about.

    A prime Nunn vs SRR would have been a great fight. Still think Sugar stops him though.

    The no film on Greb thing that you and some are stating is the part that is as you say "lmao" .. Since there is no film on Greb , his record doesn't exist, the ATG's he beat, his activity, all don't exist because no film .. He can't win a fantasy matchup because no film .. It's called thinking outside the box .. boxeo …

    No its not total bs .. your opinion in the matchup is yours, but Greb beat up Tunney giving up 12.5 lbs to him in the 1st and beat him up again in the 2nd giving up weight again .. Who else did that to Tunney?? What it bs is that Greb doesn't have a chance because there is no film on him

    Only Turpin beat Robinson before he retired in 1952. If your considering the post '55 Sugar Ray I think it's a different discussion.

    SRR defeats Hagler narrowly by decision...other scenario is that they split 2, like Ray and Basilio....but Monzon defeats them both. I consider Robinson to be the GOAT...the greatest P4P, but Monzon was the greater middleweight champion.

    There is film of some great fighters that Greb beat. Mickey Walker and Gene Tunney and Gibbons to name a few. If you had a brain how would you reconcile that?

    It means crap.. You did not watch him fighting so you can't judge how good he was

    Didn't Robinson retire in '52 after he lost to Maxim?
