Sugar Ray Robinson vs Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I said once I'll say it again. Floyd is the most skilled fighter I have ever seen. His smarts are also of the charts. I cant pick Robinson to beat him. Floyd is too smart he would find a way to win.

While I think Robinson's record was padded with some below par competition, he still had a monster of a punch. 10 times more damaging than Mosleys best shot. If Floyd allowed himself to be caught by SRR like he was in the second round by SSM, there would be no coming back from that. But Floyd has better defense than anyone SRR ever faced. I wouldn't call this fight a pickem but I wouldn't count floyd completely out either. It all depends how fast Floyd could figure out and neutralize SRR's offense.

You make good points. What baffles me is that people are acting like Floyd wouldnt be the most skilled and talented fighter Robinson stepped in the ring with.

floyds defense isnt that good

And Robinsons defense is better then Floyds?

robinson could do it all and he went for the kayo
floyd still has a chance if he keeps up his new style of fighting

Floyd is a better fighter then him. Hes more skilled. Just flat out better. Robinsons is greater, but Floyd is more skilled.

He has better defence, that's all

You've never seen Robinson fight at WW. Hell, you've probably never seen SRR fight at all.

I only can go by the footage I seen. No one has seen him at 135 or 147 where he was rumored to be a killer. All we have is crap stuff and he still looks pretty good. I just think Floyds skills are better. Robinson id the greater fighter though.
