    Sugar Ray is way too big for Marciano.

    Sugar Ray 1st round KO.

    Rocky would stumble chin first into every combo.

    A solid heavy bag workout for Robinson.

    TBF Rocky is little more than a shorter armed version of Gene Fullmer without some of the toughness, finesse and skill. We all know how that turned out and I expect this to be similar.

    Rocky’s rough house fouling leads him to a narrow pts win.

    SRRFigures him out in the rematch and stops Rocky in 5.

    Rocky embarrassingly fights a past prime Ray a 3rd time but scores a very generous draw.

    Decent match up against a past prime great for Rocky. But at WW I think Ray would beat him up and hurt him bad.
