    If you could point me in the direction of the angott fight I would be very grateful
    The old Ray Robinson pound for pound document has short clips of his welterweight fights as well as some rare pictures of fights against Zivic, Armstrong, etc. It also shows Armstrong training for Ray Robinson, and Robinson struggling to make weight for the welterweight title defense against Fusari.

    Longer versions of those fights are pretty rare and would probably have to be bought from somewhere.

      McCallum and Julian Jackson I would give a chance to, but not favor. Hearns was a beast.

          Bob Fitzsimmons

          He has already dealt with Hopkins and Toney. Does he beat these guys?

          I agree he dealt with Toney, but a much better middleweight Hopkins emerged after Jones had already fought him.

            Any if you can point me toward the Robinson-Angott video when I get my next interest (tommorow) i'll give you 100k
            I could upload short clips of Robinson's welterweight days from the p4p document to youtube if you want to. The clips don't last long though, only 20-30 seconds each. No points needed for that.

            Unfortunately I don't have a longer version of the fight on my hands right now.

              I'm one of the few that believe McCallum could've taken Hearns at 154. Of course a case could be made otherwise because Hearns could box brilliantly when he wanted to, and McCallum could have trouble with boxers.

              Hearns would most likely destroy Jackson with straighter, faster punches but it would be a fun fight.

                  Mayweather at 130

                  I know Arguello would be a very tight fight, but i wouldn't bet against Floyd against anyone in history at 130, he just seemed so complete, great defence, insane speed, extremely focused, Floyd - Arguello would definitely be in my top 5 dream fights

                  Roy Jones at 168 was a freak, can't see anyone in history beating him at that weight.

                  No other current fighter comes to mind, possibly Hopkins at 160, although Hagler, Monzon and Robinson would all be closely contested fights

                      Wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome of a Hopkins-Jones fight IMO!
