You were lucky enough to see a prime welterweight Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard. At the respective peaks at 147 who had the faster hands? In a hypothectical mactchup at 147 who do you have winning and how?
Paulie, yep I was fortunate to see the prime Welterweight Sugar Ray Robinson a few times fight. I of course have seen Ray Leonard fight,as we all have. In a fantasy matchup between Ray Robinson and Ray Leonard, at 147 pounds,I can see but one winner.Ray Robinson had too much fire-power for Ray Leonard to overcome. In any exchange, Robinson would get the better of Leonard,as he was a much fiercer puncher than Leonard. I see Robinson by a tko,in the late rounds or a unanimous decision,for Harlem Ray, the best fighter I have ever seen...Maybe Leonard had slightly faster hands.So what ? Nowhere near the concussive power though. Cheers, P.
