    As everybody knows Sugar Ray was very close to win the fight. Had he lasted till the end and got the W, he would've got LHW title.

    How do you think Ray would've competed against top light HWs of that time?

    I don't think he does well at all. He targeted a limited Maxim specifically.

    He would likely have lost the title to Archie Moore...

    As great as Ray was,his time at the top of the 175 lb tree would have been short.
