Hear me out for a minute: Floyd would beat Sugar Ray Robinson

:good

 

I was simply correcting you when your post WAS INCORRECT. Actling like a pissed women is even more embarressing.

 

Are you kidding me??? Are you really posting this??? Who ever thinks that Floyd can beat SSR f***s his dad in the ass...

 

The only sport where people cant make the argument that old times were better is track and other timed sports. You cant say it in track because ther is proof in the times ie records they make.

Humans get better with time. Training is one reason. A SRL trained today would be a lot better than a SRL of 40 years ago.

I dont doubt that todays PBF would beat the SRL os 40 years ago.

 

We've found better ways to train, but athletes don't necessarily train harder. So yes, fighters might be altogether more explosive, but they are not faster or hit harder.

Also keep in mind SRR was trained to go more rounds, and he was MORE natural as a welterweight.

I can't see PBF doing this strictly because BOXING ability, they're the same.

Power, I give to SRR. Reach, SRR. Workrate, SRR.

I'll give defense and Speed to Floyd.

I give pure athleticism to Floyd, but in terms of ability and god given talent, Ray Robinson wins.

As Roger Mayweather says, "9/10 skills pay the bills" and I doubt Floyd Mayweather has a punchers chance against SRR.

So 'nuff said.

 

You do know that Lamotta was a middleweight at the time and Robinson still a Welter right??? Lamotta out weighed him by 23 pounds.

That's like Mayweather at 130 fighting Mike McCallum at 154.

 

Robinson fought and beat the best welterweights of his era; Mayweather has yet to fight the best welterweights of his. Plus Mayweather has never faced anyone with the combination of power, speed, and punching accuracy that Robinson has. Robinson also beat Willie Pep (one of the greatest defensive fighters in history) in the amateurs. Ray was better in every category than the DeLahoya that gave Mayweather a competitive fight.

 

Floyd's also never been hit by the people that hit Robinson. Floyd's also never had to go 15 rounds.

It's not that we can't question older fighters but your questioning possibly THE GREATEST fighter ever. AND Robinson was a very big and natural Welterweight there is no way Floyd beats him.

 

*cough* Corley *cough*

 

Well, Ray was 12 years old. I guess a twelve year old Ray being beat by a 31 year old Mayweather isn't unreasonable.

 

Floyd exposes a 12 year old SRL.

 

oh so now u are changing your mind bc you cant take the heat you get when you make stupid posts like this??? the only reason you change your mind is bc you are trying to rescue your credibility from negative back to zero....Stick with what you say and maybe youll get more respect instead to changing your mind just b/c everybody disagrees with you

 

Some maths skills you have or is it that you're nostalgic to the point you haven't change your calendar since 1973?

Hem... 40 years ago brings us back to 1968, SRR was 43 y/o and retired from boxing... :roll:

 

WTF I used 40 years as a rounded aprox number. You all know what I meant.
