vs Sugar Ray Robinson apart from Lamotta without going down???? it's just unbelievable..not being knocked down one time in 65 rounds vs SRR... who, in history, at WW,LMW,MW, could go 65 rounds with SRR apart Jake LaMotta without being knocked down, in your opinion?
Billy Graham. Kid Gavilan might get caught out, not hurt, just run into something. I think Robinson would have a hard time dropping Jose Napoles. But yes, Billy Graham.
The real old timers, Bob Fitz, Stanley Ketchel, perhaps Greb and Walker. Tommy Ryan maybe? Middleweight Champ Jack Dempsey perhaps? Joe Walcott needs mention of couse. Ted Kid Lewis.
Greb could go 65 rounds on the same night and still have enough energy to fight the next week (month if he took it easy with his defence) against a top 10 opponent, before fighting several easy fights the next month and doing a wee bit of sparring with some 200+ lb heavyweights. He'd then fight another six or seven top ten opponents that year, rematch Robinson around 2 or 35 times over then next few years and finally do a "barnstorming" performance with some over-awed top 30 opponents. Then he'd pretend to be a caveman in the only video footage of him, just to mess with everyone's heads for the next ninety years. What a character!
Of couse I will always have my 2nd thoughts about Robinson fighting 65 rounds imo. He would have to change his style to a more flat footed stance. Like Jack Johnson.
No discredit to LaMotta, but to be totally honest, Jake was going to go down in their last fight but for the referee stepping in to stop it.
allot of the great middleweights im sure, hagler, hopkins, monzon i would be fairly sure about those three, they even have a good chance of beating a mw ray robinson because their so much bigger the ray. i think a prime winky wright at junior middle would have a chance at welterweight, i dont anybody can beat a prime robinson but as much as i dont like the way floyd mayweather carries himself sometimes, he has shown his greatness and i think has good chance at lasting 65 rounds on his best day.
