    Mayweather is actually exceptionally good in a dog fight. He took Corley apart like he was Evander Holyfield after getting rocked in the same round, and both of them were throwing wild shots and landing. Everytime I've seen Mayweather get into heavy exchanges he always got the best of it that I can recall. He's never had to rely on brawling, but he's a natural at that as well.

    Roberto Duran

    Juan Manuel Marquez.

    SRR was perhaps not strong enough to be considered as complete as Duran, who could fight anywhere.

    In the present...it just might be Juan Manuel Marquez when he puts it all together.

    Has Duran ever killed a man in the ring?...with one punch at that?

    Robinson had massive power at 147......even fighting at 160 he was dropping and ko'ing fighters who were known for having great chins such as Lamotta

    not that i dispute Duran's a complete fighter but.......i'd certainly say Robinson hits harder then Duran

    I'm not talking about power shots. I'm talking about physical strength. Duran was the best in-fighter in history, it is dangerous for Robinson to stray there, even at WW, because he can be muscled. Didn't really matter - it's not as if his backfoot/mid-range/movement/long range was weak or anything, he's one of the greatest that ever did it because of these attributes, but in terms of commpleteness, I think his inability to consistantly compete with the best inside due to a derth of physical strength should exclude him.

    oh ight, when i hear the word strong/strength i think power shots......but uhhh, i dont think physical strength is all that important when you talk overall completeness in a boxer......but that would just be my opinion, and i get what you're getting at though, so i'll leave it at that...to each his own

    and the killed a man was to show that robinson had power, because i thought he was saying he was lighthitter :patsch seriously read people...
