Who would you pick to beat prime SRR?

Wilfred Benitez…..Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest offensive fighter of all time….so the guy I give the best chance of beating him is the greatest “COUNTER PUNCHER” of all time …make sense ?

 

Best chance of the underdogs for me is SRL. I don't think Burley would keep up with him and hence lose a decision. It'd be interesting tho. Kid Gavilan was an incredible welter and lost two for two.

 

The real question here, to be fair to SRR, is at what weight? There comes a point where super-skill can't compensate for the other guy being able to hurt you and you not being able to hurt him. I think that once you get to 160 and above there are quite a few guys that could handle SRR simply because they were bigger and tougher but maybe not necessarily better.
