    Strangely, I read somewhere that a boxer (cant remember who it is, a former floyd victim I believe) says that floyd`s boxing technique is so great that he`d fancy floyd vs ray robinson at 147 lbs.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :barf :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Im not saying srr is superman but what a ****in torturing he would lay on mayweather, seriously.
    Has this deadbeat not seen srr fight.

    Ask lamotta, ali, joe louis, srl & many many many other fans, boxers & respected experts who would win this fight.

    srr wouldnt get outspeeded & everything else goes in ray`s favour, speed was the best bet for floyd but even then he couldnt do enough.

    Think of the 37 yr old srr landing one punch on gene fulhmer`s jaw & you tell me floyd even has a prayer vs a 27 or there abouts robinson @ welterweight.

    Ive made this thread just because I know there are severe crackpots within the boxing fanbase & the vote probably wont go 100% in srr`s favour as it should in a sane world.

    Agreed

    Floyd is a great fighter, but would be in over his head against Robinson at 147. Robinson was just as fast, could deal with Floyd's speed, had the power advantage, threw more combinations, and had a great jab. Floyd has the edge in defense, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to beat Robinson.

    not seen enough of the great srr to make a proper assessment but i'm sure pbf would be able to give him a fight.

    PBF is a little small for WW and Robinson was a shade under 6ft. He matched PBF in speed and dwarfed him in power. I don't see a way for PBF to beat him.

    PBF should be compared to ATG in the 130-140lbs divisions in fantasy matchups. Not WW IMO.

    of course Robinson destroys him, why are we even having this thread. I like PBF, but not to the point of not being logical. That just like saying Hatton destroy RR at 147 he'd destroy both guys in one night.

    Come on.

    Robinson was, according to historians, a beast at 147. Too fast, very powerful, very big and too skilled.

    Welterweight is Floyd's 4th weight class.

    Just as I think Robinson would beat anyone at 147, I think Floyd would beat anyone at 130.

    But at 147....Robinson TKO11.

    I would assume that's what would happen. Has anyone seen any footage of SRR at 147? Every video I've seen of him was at 160 and 175
