Ray Robinson vs Manny Pacquiao.

[mariobrotherpr]

No one has taken into consideration Pac's corner: Freddy Roach.

IMHO, Roach makes all the difference.

I'd pay 10 billion dollars to build a time machine, to set up this fight to see a Pac vs SRR fight. (If I were a billionaire lol)

This is another fantasy fight... and really, it's hard to compare a fighter from that era to the modern era, so it would obviously be unpredictable.
This is like a Superman vs Goku kind of fights, and TBH, I don't know the outcome.

UFC fans are saying that Bruce Lee can't match up to mix martial arts fighters of this era and that his legacy has been overexaggerated.
It would have to apply to SRR if that were the case... but man, would I die to see that fight.

If SRR is that legenday, I'd say Pac get's knock out within 7 rounds.

Honestly If I could build a time machine the fights I would want to see are as followed

Current version of Manny vs the Duran that beat Leonard

Ray Robinson vs Floyd Mayweather

Bernard Hopkins (version that beat tito) vs Marvin Haglar

Ali vs. Late 80's Mike Tyson

SRR vs Floyd? Are you being mean? lol if old Mosley can land a hard clean shot at floyd... imagine what a Prime SRR would do..

[uncle_ray]

Ray would pound Manny, way too big. Manny is great but not in Ray Robinsons class

[GrandpaBernard]

Remember how him and roach bowed their head down to the youngest Sugar, "You're too good Shane"?

The real Sugar man would force the philipines into a great depression.

yeah...cuz i'm sure harry wiley was a horrible trainer. he only learned under jack blackburn the trainer of joe louis and worked with henry armstrong as well as robinson.

Ray robinson would absolutely smash him

he's considered by many to be the greatest middleweight of all time

he's considered by virtually everybody to be the greatest welterweight of all time

pacquiao is a tremendous p4p fighter

it will take time to evaluate his position in the atg p4p landscape, but he's probably a top ten-twenty guy

ray robinson is not only generally considered a lock for the greatest p4p guy ever:
he's nearly six feet tall
he had a 74 inch reach
he was stopped once in almost 200 fights and that was in the 14th against an atg light heavyweight (joey maxim) from heat exhaustion
and he was ahead on all the cards by at least four points
he had a dynamite chin
one punch ko power in either hand




Ray Robinson via brutal display of violence

Co-sign 100%

[Carpe Diem]

Pac by 5th round TKO...

[Phil Ivey]

Probably not, that's why it's an intriguing matchup. Pac is an extremely awkward matchup for anyone though, that's why I'm wondering if Ray saw anything remotely similar to him just to have some sort of comparison.

Probably not? Definitely not idiot. SRR would box the crap out of Pac.
