Ray Robinson got dominated by a Journeyman Ralph Tiger Jones as an 8-1 favourite though.
By today's standards he'd likely be called one of the most overrated ever.
You think it's hard enough trying to convince TBE to fight a Filipino midget or a 12-1 underdog with horsehair gloves? Imagine telling Floyd it's time to step in the ring with a prime SRR. Especially after the Jimmy Doyle incident (RIP). No amount of testing, 16 oz sparring gloves, or weight draining could convince him to get in the ring with the GOAT.
Lamotta was robbed in one of those fights, and almost all of those fights were close. You could make a case that Robinson lost a 2-3 of those fights.
Lamotta > Maidana.. Not even close.
That's even more impressive that he got into the ring with him 6 friggin times.
Not even a Floyd fan would refute this.
Just sayin.
Floyd would of accused Armstrong of steroids jumping from Featherweight to Middleweight.......

LMAO, so true.
