    Galivan, Robinson, and Burley did not have the skill set to even make it competitive with todays Floyd... I have nothing but respect for the greats but the game has evolved mentality and physically and with regards to these dream matches that people draw up with all time greats from the past and todays fgithers, alot of these fighters from the past would have gotten destroyed... Like Harry Greb one the greatest fighter of all time, but a prime Roy Jones would of beat the **** out of him if they fought...

        I haven't seen any of Kid Gavilan or Charley Burley...

        I've seen just a little of Henry Armstrong...
        I have to disagree Robinson could not compete with Floyd... Like my man Ekscape pointed out.... The old schoolers are overrated... tremendously overrated...

              He really couldn't beat Floyd... That is why I am shocked that Burner thinks Robinson edges Floyd out... I don't see it happening... Floyd is easy wide decision... Floyd maybe even stops Robinson... That is just how much better Floyd is...

                  robinson would get floyd into the corner and keep ****ing at him super fast combos to the head and body, floyd aint going to be able to dodge all of the punches and nothing floyd could throw would do anything significant against Sugar Ray, he was a tough dude

                  Sugar Ray Leonard even had quicker hands than the above I think and would humilate floyd in the later rounds.

                      I honestly don't think they do....

                      I mean Robinson had no D... an average fighter like Gavilan was landing a lot of punches on Robinson... What do you think Floyd would do? With amazing speed, reflexes, and pint point accuracy would do to Robinson? Even Lamotta beat Robinson in Robinson prime... Sugar was too offensive minded and flat footed to handle Floyd footwork and movement... Fact is Ray Robinson never fought somebody as SKILLED , SMART, FAST, INSANE FOOTSPEED, ACCURATE, GREAT DEFENSIVELY, INSANE REFLEXES and TALENTED as Mayweather??

                      Floyd wins this quite comfortably... I wouldn't even be surprised if Floyd stops Robinson...
