    mosley wishes he was as good as robinson. it should be against the rules to use the nick name sugar in boxing. that goes for ray leonard too.

    His foot placement, power given his speed, and stamina were pretty unreal.

    Ray tends to get a bit overhyped around these parts.

    He was an amazing fighter no doubt but he was not unbeatable.

    People claim that his handspeed was faster than that of MELDRICK Taylor, as if rofl.

    No way Robinson @ 147 was faster than a LIGHTWEIGHT Mosley.

    Better fighter 100% yes, better at everything possibly but speed.

    Mosley's speed @ 135 was insane.

    Overhyped as in, calling him completely unbeatable. Not in the way you think I meant.

    He was 128-1

    Anyways, I'm in no way discrediting the man. He is one of the greatest of all time.

    Hell no.

    Way ahead. Floyd is definitely the best of this generation but he doesn't have a prayer against SRR.

    SRR is #1 at WW, was the perfect fighter at that weight class.

    There's no film of him when he was at his utmost prime but his quality of opposition was ridiculous.

    But calling him faster than 135 Mosley, faster handspeed than 140 Taylor is just disgusting dickriding.

    Considering that Mosley had wicked speed at 135 (2 divisions below), we can safely assume that he would be faster than Robinson.

    It's just hard to imagine someone at 147 being THAT fast. But yeah like I said, there's no film of him at his absolutely peak.

    Just very very hard to imagine.
