Just spent 2 hours watching Ray Robinson and...

how do you think would Floyd or Pac would fare against SRR? your post will be more credible than any of the posters here.

 

Never speculate on mythical match-ups, d. Too frustrating -- a no-win situation. If it was an up-coming match, I'd give it a shot. We'd know how savvy my choice was very quickly.

 

fair enough, JG.

 

It could be looked at as a win-win situation. No one can prove you wrong.

 

from the footage I've seen, his D is alright, but it was the absurd power, speed, and accuracy that made him.

I love those multiple hooks he does- just when you think he's done and/or out of range, BAM clocked on the jaw.

 

im still trying my best to convince myself that srr wont get mauled by today's fighters.

 

He wouldn't. Mayweather is one of the few boxers who has a real chance at beating him.

 

It is beyond ridiculous to think that he wouldnt be a champion today. Todays fighters as you put it are seriously lacking in the techniques from the greats.

Tell me a fighter today with a better jab than Robinson , and by the way the jab is still the most effective punch in both defence and offence.

Most jabs today are either pawing, wide are not rotated properly, whilst dropping the right hand and often getting countered.

Robinson is so so so much better than what we have at present.

 

Some JG quotes are so JG that they can't get any more representative of him as a poster. good

 

If the TS can't see SRR's greatness then he's the 1 with the problem not Sugar

 

I completely disagree...I'm not saying it is out of the question, but what has Mayweather shown at Welterweight that makes you think he has a chance at beating probably the greatest 147lber of All-Time?

Also take in to account that Mayweather is not a natural Welterweight...Mayweather hasn't competed with the greatest standard of Welterweights so far...and, Mayweather's output has dropped considerably since his move to the higher weights...

And yes, I'm a Mayweather fan.

(SSR and SRL completely dominate Mayweather, Pacquiao...anyone in and around Welterweight at the present time)

 

Can't beat a good Naseem entrance (In fact, my favourite Naseem entrance). :good

Have a good Christmas, man?

 

well i agree. robinson didnt have the technique athletes have today. he also didnt have the modern athletic exercises and nutrition.

 

0.25, 1.36...
