    Can Ray outlast the Dark Destroyer at 160?

    Bearing in mind the fact that Benn was just an unskilled banger at 160, yes!

    I see Benn outspeeding and outsmarting SRR en route to an early rounds KO. Obviously.

    Is this a joke?

    The Robinson from the St. Valentines day massacre would have literally killed Nigel Benn in that ring.

    Robinson would be well out his depth in this one.

    A more interesting match-up would be Sugar Ray Robinson v Morrade Hakkar or Sugar Ray Robinson v Tocker Pudwill.;)

    Robinson wins late but anyone thinking this is an easy fight doesn't watch these boxers box. Benn's 1 of the biggest most relentless hitters in MW history, a physical beast, brings a ton of pressure, very athletic and fast. Robinson never faced a MW Mike Tyson like Benn so he'd be in for a hard fight and if he shows up not 100% like when he faced Turpin, Benn could turn him over.
