    Robinson

    I've only ever seen MW footage and Historians say Robinson was much better at Welter which i find frightening because he looked almost unbeatable at MW

          Flyweight = Jimmy Wilde
          Jr Flyweight = Michael Carbajal
          Minimumweight = Ricardo Lopez.
          Good list, except that Marciano would be a light heavy if he fought today, most of who weigh more than his 185 on fight night. Joe Louis would be a hell of a cruiserweight today, now that it's 200.

            That would put more fire into WW... He could fight Mayweather and Cotto in a 30 day period (Inc. rematchs!)

            Then move up to MW and cause a stir there by summer!
            robinson wouldn't have to fight as often since he'd be getting paid a lot nowadays.

            his negotiating tactics would further make it harder to make big matchups with him.

                    I have always wondered what weight some of these guys would fight at today. Marciano starved him self to get down to 180lb, i think with a modern diet he could well weigh 200lb+ same with Louis, Dempsey etc.
