    There footage of him fighting Charley Fusari at 147 for the world title and Bobby Dykes although the Bobby Dykes footage he was overweight and may aswell of been a middleweight, seen 1 or 2 more fights of him at Welter but was hella long time ago and it was poorly filmed.

    Floyd's defense is soo much better then Robinsons and Robinson wasn't the best at eluding punches, Floyd would probably get a few counters off.
    I think he'd give Robinson trouble for awhile but I still have Robinson winning by UD or late Tko, too much pressure and he if he catches Floyd like Shane did well, it's lights out.

      Judging that from the footage I've seen of him at Middleweight, he was probably better at Welter.

        Ray Robinson. Floyd is very gifted as well, but so is Robinson. It would be a interesting fight, but Robinson would be just too much. Too much heart and courage.

            Keep in mind Robinson was a BIG Welter. I rather have someone talk about Duravn vs Floyd than Robinson vs Floyd. A GREAT ALL TIME GREAT big man beats an All time Great little one.

              I doubt Robinson would be able to hit Mayweather with his bombs.. My gutfeeling says Mayweather takes this one by UD.

                he didn't have rjj's reflexes, but he was great at keeping the distance with anyone less rangy than him, which is 99 percent of all welters.

                  Robinson would walk through Mayweather at will. His chin was no joke, and his will, courage to a win fight would of been to much. I dont think Mayweather would last the 12..

                    Yup spot on they said that his fights when he was in his prime wasnt captured on flim..

                      Can someone give me their enlightened break down of how they imagine this happening?

                      SRL had big chin, huge heart, possibly greatest ATG stamina ever, was FASTER than Floyd, had ten times bigger work rate than Floyd, threw ten times more combinations than Floyd.

                      Can someone give me even an iota of an idea of how Pac or Floyd would ever stand a chance against SRL?

                      I think he can beat both Pac and Floyd on the same night and still have gas in the tank.
