Marco Antonio Rubio vs Sugar Ray Robinson

Fight at 160. Robinson at his best comes in under the limit at 155, while Rubio makes 160 but comes in at 178 or 180. Rubio may not be considered a great but he is a knock out puncher with a possible 20 plus pound weight advantage. Heavier than Maxim, and can crack.

Please no alleged red hearings, regarding Robinson on using modern rules or training to close the weight gap, or unproven theories of him rehydrating, he likely never weighed over 160 in his prime. Discuss this match between two middleweights.

 

Yes, but Rubio isn't normally considered bum.

Maybe, but he also has a 50s sized heavyweight who can bang, throwing punches back at him.

 

How many 180 pound world class fighters did Robinson demolish?

 

Is this only when you like the smaller man and want him to win?

 

Why does he only have one failed attempt at the light heavy title then?

If he could beat 180 pound men, why not even challenge Ezzard Charles or Marciano?

Weight classes must exist for a reason, is the thought of a legendary fighter losing to a lesser man over weight upsetting to you, it's kind of the way of these forums?

 

Robinson was forced to retreat from Joey Maxim, he is lighter than Rubio with no power.
