Why have modern fighters not evolved to be better than SRR

[StAlbansBoxing]

To name but seven at 147 then:

Jose Napoles
Sugar Ray Leonard
Wilfred Benitez
Tommy Hearns
Roberto Duran
Pernell Whitaker
Floyd Mayweather

That's ridiculous. Hearns and Leonard have the only good shots. The others don't have to size or power to trouble Robinson they all get stopped

You have not seen the LaMotta fights..... so stop talking ****ing rubbish. you have NOT seen LaMotta beating Robinson on points.

[Roy Keane]

At 168lbs rrj lights up Robinson.

the point is a guy like Lamotta being able to fight a skilled technical fighter like SRR is/was the point.Does aguy on lamottas level beat Floyd?My guess is you will say yes.

Exactly..and he wouldn't need a jab to do it ,he didn't need one he had actual footwork and positioning.

Anyone who can't see the skill of a LaMotta isn't a very knowledgeable evaluator. Just because a man works out of a crouch and bends in the waist
doesn't mean he is skilless it's just another form and style. Theres balance to be considered when low and always distance and cutting the ring down to trap.

LaMotta was the Middleweight Champion and a feared fighter by all contenders except Robinson. He deafeated Robinson by points in one of five match ups. LaMotta put combos together very effectively and had an outstanding chin and endurance.

LaMotta vs Floyd would be feeding steaks to Lions, in this case Bulls!
LaMotta rehydrated from 160 to 175 in 15 hours! Floyds punches would do NOTHING to LaMotta!

Why don't novice fans research past greats before they spew garbage?
As for Jones vs Robinson at 168, it could be a good match because of Jones speed but thats all he has equal to Robinson. Jones is a top twenty lightheavy, Robinson is the best from 140 to 160. I'll take Sugarman.
