Would Floyd Mayweather have any chance against Ray Robinson?

[Bacatit]

LMAO...ya'll comparing Floyd to this great icon of the sport...lmao, you should be ashamed. Floyd is having to create all this drama with opponents well before his 50th fight just to try his best to preserve his ****** ass 0. Robinson had the exact same record before his first loss.....Robinson fought lie 4 times as many fights as Floyd has given the same amount of time.

Robinson was doing all that minus the advances in sports medicine, nutrition, training techniques........he would eat Floyd alive, you must be joking to think Floyd beats him.

Wow I knew where your mindset was before I got to this post LMAO !!!

De la Hoya wasn't as big as SRR?

Not quite, Srr defended the 160 lb title multiple times and fought at 175, DLH only beat Sturm at 160 at that was dodgy. That and the fact he is listed as an inch taller would suggest SRR was the bigger guy, he was certainly more comfortable withb bigger opponents.

The DHL Floyd beat was nowhere his prime and certainly not near prime SRR and that was a reasonably close fight.

No, not really. Not to take away from Floyd, I think he is a truly great fighter and gives almost any fighter from 147 and below hell. But Robinson had every advantage (except for his defense) INCLUDING 4 inches in height and just overall size. I think he'd KO Mayweather tbh. Robinson was a fucking monster man.

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Jake Lamotta III

One of Ray's best wins in his prime. Was trying to find his fight against Armstrong, but was unable to.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton

One of Floyd's best wins at Welterweight in his prime

I realize Hatton was not Floyd's absolute greatest performance, but it was one of his biggest wins at 147, in his prime years.

So, there's two good looks at each guy in their primes at 147 against top people. They are such different era's, it's almost not even fair to compare them.

When you watch the two, they're almost incomparable.

Yes, SRR is a pioneer to modern boxing, and in his day, was by far the best to ever do it.

Mayweather has honed those fundamentals that Robinson helped pioneer and has taken them to another level 60 years later. Like every other sport on the planet, boxing has evolved. If Floyd Mayweather lived in Robinson's day, who knows.

I honestly think Mayweather would easily beat Ray.

But Im going to leave this thread before people lose their **** and call me all sorts of names.

[GoogleMe]

Mayweather could beat him yes.

[Mr.0pal]

Saying Floyd would frustrate him is one thing; saying he wouldn't be able to touch Floyd at all though?

He might touch him a couple times like all opponents do. But he'll be basically hitting shoulders and air all night.

Things to consider:

- Robinson had one of the greatest chins in boxing

- One of the greatest combination punchers

- Had KO power in both hands

- Robinson could box and brawl

- He was big for a welterweight

[MARKBNLV]

Nah but i think Leonard or Hearns would have beaten him at ww.
