    I got a feeling Pac would do well against Robinson. Floyd not so much.

      Guys that like to engage would get stopped IMO so Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Mosley.

      There is a chance that Robinson wouldn't got for the knockout of course and just box but if this is prime 147 Robinson most guys would get stopped.

Old timers always think the old time fighters would whip today's best. That's ridiculous. Can you imagine Rocky Marciano trying to stand his ground with a 21 yr old Mike Tyson or a 30 yr old Vitali Klitschko? Or Jake LaMotta outpointing Marvelous Marvin Hagler or Roy Jones Jr? Lennox Lewis would destroy guys like George Chuvalo and Joe Bugner. SRR was very great. No doubt about it but he was beatable. He may have beaten SR Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Felix Trinidad. But those would not be easy fights by any means.
          Robinson was bigger than Floyd, Pac, Cotto etc is today, Marciano is a lot smaller than Tyson. Big difference in that comparison.

          Wouldn't be easy fights but if he had the same training as the fighters today had, had a full 2-3 month training camp, who the hell could go the distance vs him?

                I always find it entertaining that the people that say, "SRR is overrated, you don't know **** about boxing, etc etc etc "always have negative rep....

                  yeah people are getting all up and arms of what i'm saying but it's the truth... you guys are mad because you don't know **** about boxing.. I've watched plenty of Robinson, do I think he's the greatest fighter of all time? Hell yes I do... But do I think he could beat Floyd or Manny hell fkn no... times have changed, techniques have changed, alot has changed... I can guarantee that 90% of the people that replied saying "hell no robinson would killed everyone" has never watched a full Sugar Ray Robinson fight in their lives and are just talking based off his reputation...

                    Rep doesn't mean **** and I never said Robinson is overrated I think he's the goat... And my rep bar is red because Pacquiao fans... so rep doesn't mean **** I know my boxing
