Sugar Ray Robinson versus Lloyd Marshall

I think it is the complete opposite on further research I think they are all completly underrated.

 

I think Burley gets too much credit in comparison to the others but I agree that the Murderer's Row are in no way overrated. The small amount of film that we have of these fighters doesn't disappoint.

 

Burley often does get a lot more credit, but in fairness I do think he was the top dog. This much has been stated by other Row Members, including Booker, who I consider to be the most underrated of the bunch. Would've been great if he and Burley could've squared off at some point.

 

I did think Maxim but then I thought how little difficulty he actually gave Robinson, I do think Marshall is better than lamotta and Maxim but styles make fights.

 

I'm not entirely sure. As I have said I think it would be hard for Robinson to 'box' Marshall, and that he would have to let his hands go and Robinson really is better when he lets his hands go - but it appears to be an odd strategy for Robinson to choose.

Similar to Gavilan in the feints and counter punching to negate his opponents offence and Robinson struggled with Gavilan so it is a very tricky fight to call.

 

But they went about it differently!

 

Yeh good point. Need to think about it
