Just wondering who folks think would have won this one. Many people do rank McClellan as one of the better middleweights ever. That is my justification and apology, wrapped up in one. Robinson vs McClellan.

Woo-hoo, what a shootout that could be.
G-Man was a great athlete with underrated boxing skills and hellacious power, but, I think the GOAT would hit him with that left when G-Man rushed in to go for the kill & stop him around round 9DooGee#33 Slugfester like this.

- - McC nowhere near Robby. One of the better fighters of his era is the best faint praise I can come up with.

I don't think we ever saw the best McClellan had to offer. He was a big puncher and I think Robinson has his hands full with him in the early to mid rounds, but overcomes the adversity by way of late round TKO. I know there was a slow build up for a McClellan/Jones fight which would have been huge had he not suffered a career ending brain injury.Slugfester billeau2 like this.

Funny I would rather see a McCallum-SRR match-up. A great chess match; both with one punch power.

Okay, here we go. I'm going to get tore up for this. SRR was may have been the greatest p4p champion of all time. not the greatest MW of all time. He lost his title 4 times. Yes, he was very good. McClellan would bring the fire. If Fullmer could beat SRR with half the skill and power of McClellan. Who knows. Not saying he could beat Robinson just food for thought.Slugfester billeau2 like this.

- - Two different Rays.
Pre heat prostration, and post heat prostration near death experience.
Post heat prostration beats post brain injury McC, see how easy that is? Pre heat prostration Ray beats McC, period. Different class of fighter.
