Can we be real and admit Mayweather would school Sugar Ray Robinson

[just the facts]

Castillo, maidana, dlh, PAC beat floyd arguably.SRR would never beat Floyd as Floyd wouldn't fight him. If Floyd don't give you fights we wanted like Thurman, Spence, bud, brook, Bradley what makes you think he fights srr? Nelo would fight srr, nelo tries fighting who people want him to

Only on NSB can you have total idiots like this. In what world did PAC arguably beat Floyd? I know when someone mentions PAC, your ears turn into pistol grips, back go those retractable garbage door teeth of yours, and Vaseline starts squinting out of your nose. Absolutely no one without an agenda thinks that. The other three? Okay, probably not ODLH.

Floyd schools SRR? Not a ******** chance in this world. Floyd is better defensively and has a slight edge in speed. SRR is a better combination puncher, has a HUGE edge in power and is the naturally bigger man. SRR all day.

I know we love the rose tinted goggles on here but SRR primative brain would be utterly befuddled by Floyd's slick skills and he would lose 12-0 or get stopped like Arturo Gatti.

Dr. Steelhammer, you almost got run off ---> actually I think you did get run off NSB back in the day for being a garbage troll Vlad d-rider and here we are ---> same troll, different name, same bridge.

You are stating the real obvious.

I cannot think of a fighter in any era at Light Welterweight or Welterweight that would have beaten Floyd.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Well you can either be real or you can claim that Mwayweather would school Robinson. It's impossible to do both.

[MikeyMike100]

I agree that he would. The only thing is SRR size advantage. Boxing and advanced a lot since then. Bernard Hopkins would school SRR too.

Maybewether would admittedly have first waited for "a blueprint to loose" / aka pugilistic dementia

[JakeTheBoxer]

147, the same day weight in, 15 rounds?

No way, lol.

[maracho]

Totally dominating Marquez and the way he came back in Castillo II was quite impressive

But I see those old timers being more wolf vs modern beagle. Some modern dogs and humans have however retained their undomesaticated ways actually Floyd looks a bit indigenous, which shows that this has nothing to do with intelligence- Floyd is quite an intelligent fighter as are most indigenous people are when tests are fairly given. Wolves also prove more intelligent than domesticated dogs on average
Sorry for the tangents

[OPThreadStarter]

Bro Sugar Ray Robinson is considered as a modern boxer, in fact, modern boxing starts at Robinson's era. We see his style eventually trickle down the generation from the immaculate gliding footwork of Muhammad Ali down to the combination punching prowess of Manny Pacquiao.

There's no chance Floyd would fight a monster like that. Ray is an absolute physical specimen in Welterweight. Think of the height of Antonio Margarito with a reach of a Floyd Mayweather and the explosive combination punching ability of a Manny Pacquiao that can glide through the floor like Muhammad Ali. That's what you're dealing with here. Not only that, he has that rare ability like Artur Beterbiev to generate power and deliver knockout blows using very short punches. Maybe if Ray is too old, floyd would fight him. That's the only way I can see him taking that fight. But I highly doubt it because his imposing size is still there.

Pac lost nearly every round, now go have a good look at Rays resume and tell me how many HOF fighters are on it, and while you are there tell me is it 110 cans he beat with a 1000 losses or is it more.more.

Fights you wanted, he named 5 top guys and YOU said if he fought them it would be big, he did and beat them all.

Tell me do you have amnesia on what you post or you're just a dumb drunk.

Could Floyd beat Ray maybe maybe not, there is quite a bit of size difference.
