HAHAHA why are we even having this thread from what i have seen of robinson at MW he was an animal there. imagine him 13 pounds lighter. its like matching up a Kelly Pavlik power and Cory Spinks speed vs a present PBF. it would be a massacre.
I think there are 3 welterweights who, at their best, beat the living **** out of PBF: Robinson, SRL, and Tommy Hearns. Robinson for all the reasons stated by others. SRL did every thing Floyd does only better, and 147 was his best division. Hearns would just be to strong and to big with to much reach for PBF: he'd just hunt him down and destroy him, a few of those left hooks to the body, and Floyd would be pissin' blood on the stool. Having said that, and it being well known that I can't stomach PBF at all, I will give him credit for being the best of this era. The subject of PBF vs Duran at 135 also came up on this thread. I would have to take Duran by massacre. Against Arguello PBF might survive some scary moments to win a decision: Against a prime Duran he goes home early; real early. Boo
Would be a tight fight. But Ray is the superior fighter, and he would pull through. Infact, he is the one fighter (aside from Hearns) who I would favour to stop Floyd.
WHY????? floyd beats duran and everyone else @130... as to the thread robinson wins @147 but at a lighter weight its an extremely tough fight!!...
How bout SRL ??? Duran.?? .There is no scenario however imaginative you are that would have PBF winning these fights
mate this isnt an an english literary class,and i can write how i feel comfortable!!!!(ha ha) but there is no need to get smart! we are only discussing boxing a sport we BOTH SUPPOSEDLY love! i think PBF wud have too much skill for duran and the fight wud go closer to the "NO MAS" fight with leonard did in PBF'S Favour as for SRL i think they are a lot closer in ability than you do,and i think PBF has the edge in defence, a close fight that i think PBF wins maybe on SD
Robinson came to fight. No, let me rephrase that...to destroy. He fought the fight. Didn't pussyfoot around, rope-a-dope style like PBF. Nobody survived that left hook. I'm 62 yo and have seen nearly all of them. SRR was in my opinion, the greatest pound for pound, ever! PBF couldn't shine his shoes! Reviewing my video library, I give Sugar Ray Leonard my nod at coming in second and then Roberto Duran, in the two lowest weight classes he fought in. Hagler is there with them. In those times, there was only one champion! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwSkQ3Gy7E8
im sure he was mate! i have seen a few duran fights not a lot but a few,nobody becomes an ATG by being a one trick pony and the other LW WOULD HAVE TO BE BENNY LEONARD! only one capable,however i dont think duran would have been able to land enough on PBF seriously hurt him!
