    Today is the legendary SRR's 99th BIRTHDAY!

    This thread is all about Ray Robinson.

    I'd like to start it with fantasy matchups:
    Who wins?
    SRR-Hopkins (160)
    SRR-Mayweather (147)
    SRR-Hearns (147)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The next half of the thread I dedicate to posting your favorite photograph of Ray Robinson.
    I'll start:

    I pick SRR to beat Hopkins at 160, Hopkins would give him some trouble (wouldn't be an easy victory) but SRR comes out with a UD.

    SRR beats Hearns convincingly at 147.

    I pick Mayweather to win against SRR at 147. By SD. Could really go either way, if it was modern rules Mayweather wins, old school rules Sugar wins.

    Sure, put 10+ pounds over Mayweather's best weight and match him with SRR? right …. If you followed Mayweather's career, then you would know he doesn't even take the fight

    Mayweather doesn’t have the offense to be able to do much with Robinson. We also know he’d never enter the same weight class much less same room or ring as him.

    Let that be a lesson to you, Andrew. You walk around a site like this wishing happy birthdays to guys like Ray Robinson, they will can and ban your sorry azz, punk. That's why I keep my nose clean in the joint. That's why I walk the right path, you feel me?

    Head scratcher. Who’d even want a dirty nose? I don’t know.

    When I took my daughter, Scrumchissé, to her first day of kindergarten at some school her mom wanted her to go to, I found out it was one of those wokist mob schools that give their kids juice boxes and chips and stuff every few hours, so they don't have to understand hunger, I almost took her out of the school right there but then I looked at the kids? These kids almost all had bats roosting up in there. Wokists LOVE dirty noses. Apparently cleaning them isn't being at one with the Earth or whatever hippy crap. THEN I took Scrumchissé out of there. She does not need that idea dinned into her tiny head. She only has room in there for so many ideas-she's like her mother that way-and that is not one of the ideas I need taking up the space in there.
