    gotta pick ray to box him up outside and at range, and to survive, plus land some, when he does end up inside.

    tiger could win one of a series tho.

    SRR in a good close contest. He found ways to win when they weren't apparent.

    He preferred to go by "Richar", actually. The d is pronounced but unwritten. Like a silent letter but opposite.

    I think that's fair assessment...as SRR could be a bit erratic vs the middleweights.

    As a middleweight Ray Robinson though past his peak, would have beaten **** Tiger I firmly believe. I am talking about the Ray Robinson who savagely ko'd Jake LaMotta in 1951. And kod Randy Turpin, and Bobo Olson and Gene fullmer...How tough **** tiger was he never had to absorb the murderous flurries of an enraged Sugar Ray Robinson...
