    Do y'all think Sugar Ray Robinson would've quit against NoMasChenko?

    No way, Robi exploited his reach advantage brilliantly against his opponents at welter and was never beaten at that weight, he kept pumping a long jab in your face the way Loma does except his reach would of been way longer, the only way I could see Loma having a chance is because ironically Robi`s handler`s avoided jabber`s because it`s the nearest punch to your opponent making the most out of your reach even if it`s short, LaMotta out jabbed Robi until being stopped in their last fight, but he was a middle so I don`t know if Loma`s reach is even as long as LaMotta`s was, also Jake could take a powerful middleweight punch and could ride with shots, we don`t even know if Loma can take a decent lightweight shot let a lone a devastating puncher like Robi who knocked out one of the toughest middles of all time, in the form of Gene Fullmer with one iconic punch which would of taken out Loma quickly, plus Loma`s power wouldn`t of been enough to keep Robi off if he had to go for broke, he`d be just too big and strong, we`d have to see Loma in with a quick handed power punching welter to see if he`d stand a chance or at least a light welter, a better question would be could Loma take Duran`s punches, he was a naturally smaller man than Robi and maybe the greatest light weight of all time, but if Duran could hurt Leonard as bad as he did in their first fight it would be a big ask for Loma to do the same, but Roberto would have a tougher time landing his power shots on the elusive Loma like he did in his second fight with Leonard, the infamous "NO MAS" fight.

    Sorry. ATG welterweight and middleweight champion to quit aginst much smaller Loma?
    He was forced to quit once in 200 fights, in a fight he was clearly winning against LHW world champion, when SRR was suffering from abnormal heat (the referee was replaced after 10 rounds).

    When middleweights knocked him down/hurt him, SRR never quit.

    This is how Ray would of KO`d Loma unless Graziano`s reach was shorter than the super feather reach of Loma!

    SRR like all the rest relied on their reach and height advantage to beat their much smaller opponents. Size is very important in the lower weights. Loma would be outsized, too small.

    If Loma fought Robinson, Robinson would be responsible for another death in the ring.

    This is unrelated to boxing but my meat was too big for your mouth but you dug deep, unhinged your jaw like a python and shivered me timbers.
    Pardon me, I was in the Navy.

    Randy`s fight IQ was better than his actual IQ, don`t forget Tyson only got 78 in his IQ test at school and his offensive skills were very clever for a turnip and yes probably Turpin`s IQ was lower than Mike`s but still brilliant reflexes and he must of been longer as a middle compared to the tiny Loma, SRR was 5ft 11" for God`s sake.
