    Lets just say the weight difference was only 20lbs, What happens if these two would square off in thier prime??

    Could Sugar Ray move around long enough to survive?

    From the Billy Conn fight I say Robinson actually has a chance of out boxing Louis. But 9/10 Louis stops him.

    Wasn't this Louis-Robby fight laughingly discussed in some of the gyms in the 40's? And of course some sportswriter asked SRR before the Maxim fight: "If you beat Maxim, will you go after Marciano?"....to which SRR replied: "Are you crazy, do you want to get me killed?".
