    Keith Thurman goes back in time and has to defeat a prime Ray Robinson or he'll be forever stuck in the past. Could he defeat prime Robinson?

    Robinson was far better than Thurman and would have beat a 40 year old Manny also, his combos were far better.

    I will be honest. I think by Manny beating Thurman we found out how overrated the current welterweights have been. Thurman and Garcia and Porter are tough guys, but not really high high level of the guys in the past.

    I don't think that Thurman could beat the Ray Robinson of 1946, 56, 66, or 76. He would have a better chance against the 1986 version.

    I agree, but if Robinson somehow gets by the first 20 seconds, then Sugar Ray wins.

    Are you sure that Robinson would have beaten Pac or is that wishful thinking on your part?

    He couldn't knock out Robinson in April of '89 even pounding on his casket.
