    I been saying Floyd would give Robinson HELL for years now.

    Robinson was to easy to hit.

    The only guy that beats Floyd is Whitaker.

    Alot of guys are going to come in here and cokk sukk robinson..without realizing he had plenty of flaws....like leaning in, and he was off balance alot.

    He threw alot of wide shots and like I said was very easy to hit.

    He had a great chin.

        Sugar Ray Robinson would beat Floyd, by decision or maybe even by a knockout but keep in mind it will be a very competitive fight from the start as Robinson didn't face anyone AS accurate and defensive as Floyd. Floyd with his skills would have beaten most fighters Robinson faced, one question though, why is Floyd matched up with natural welterweights, middleweights and light heavyweights? Floyd's best weight is 130-135 and I dont think any ATG from 130-135 in history could beat Floyd there, he was at his best there and a complete fighter, better footspeed, handspeed, more combinations, great defense, great offense, great accuracy. You name it, he had everything around that weight.

          Yeah, SRR is simply too big. I'd pick Ray to win also.

            I think it would be a very close fight that Hearns could edge. But floyd has the total package. Hearns couldn't fight on the inside and didn't know how to tie up (like most Stewart fighters). Hearns needed range.

              Well you prolly dont know but I met Tommy Hearns several times, interviewed him when I was in highschool, etc....

              Im from detroit, MI....Tommy is my ALL-TIME Favorite.

              BUT.........

              Against Mayweather Tommy would have to come up with a plan B...When he realizes that his best punch..."the right hand".....hasnt landed Flush once.

              Floyd would potshot Tommy....and Play it safe at times then he would be thisclose to him making him miss...Tommy needed distance.

              He would tie up Hearns and **** him inside.

              Tommy had a great Jab.....and it would snap Floyds head back at times....

              I dont think Floyd hit HARD enought to just drop Tommy with one shot...but he is fast and accurate enough to put Tommy to sleep with a punch he doesnt see coming.

              I love Tommy man I really do...Floyd was to smart for him.

                Floyds offensive output at the welter weight limit is to low.. Robinson would stalk and dismember his philly shell, and probably punch right through it.

                I cant imagine floyd not being overwhelmed in 12. And if its a 15 rounder for get about it.


                Yet out of natural 135ers and below, Id be hard pressed to name any one who really matches up with floyd.

                  Hearns and Halger both crush him. At the higher weights his brittle hands dont hold up well. Id give him a decent chance against Sugar L and Duran though.

                    There's no need to fight on the inside if you're 6'1 with a 78 inch reach at 147 pounds.
