Would Floyd Mayweather have any chance against Ray Robinson?

Hopefully Floyd isn’t with Al Haymon in this hypothetical because if he were, Al would realize there is a greater chance than usual of Floyd losing so fight likely would never get made.

at 147 with SRR actually weighing 147?


Mayweather never loses to anyone who is actually the same or less weight than him fight night.

SRR would need modern rules and be in his 160 pound form with modern weight cuts to beat mayweather.


Mayweather is a throwback fighter slaying bigger men in the weight cut era.

Robinson is over hyped man, lots of the ancient fighters from the old days were stat padders. They all feasted on the bums of the months club.

Mayweather easily outboxes Robinson.

Ive been saying this for years. Most of the guys back then who were "pro" fighters had day jobs.

Floyd beat more full time fighters than any of those guys.

these records of 100, 200 fights over factory union workers who pull 10, 12 hour shifts then box a bit on the side is a joke.

Macriano for his over hyped 49-0 record only fought like 7 or so guys who actually boxed for a living. its a ***ing joke. Floyd fought for 18 years in a completely different era, fighting actual pro boxers and they want to compare the past era to this one.

He might have meant he fought over 90% bums.

SRR is history polished, no doubt was great but his resume is really poor, I actually think he wouldn't be anywhere near as big today, I tell you something just extend Ennis resume to 200 bouts with 90% being the same class he has been fighting and he would have 200 wins and at least 180 kos , now how would that look in history in the 1940s.

Could Floyd beat him maybe, the biggest issue is Floyd is such a small WW when looking at history's greatest WWs, in all these Floyd vs great WWs, Floyd is really a LW-JWW.that was good enough to be top WWS, that size really goes against him in these debates.

Bring boots enis down to the auto manufacturing plant and sign him up for 30 fights in the next 6 months, there you go instant "classic" boxer record.

Not really. Floyd is, in my opinion, the most skilled boxer in history but that doesn't mean he wins every fantasy match up.

Size and measurables also matter. Add SRR had great hand speed. It's not going to be easy for Floyd to win.

Also, notice I said SRR would possibly beat Floyd just by being more active. Meaning, judges perception would favor SRR not SRR being better than Floyd outright.

The same reason I think SRL would trouble Floyd greatly is why I think SRR would. They are bigger guys with comparable speed and footwork. Floyd can be more skilled but p4p exists for a reason. Bigger guys with just as much hand speed. Floyd would fight defensively and won't find it easy or convenient to counter them either. As they both had great boxing IQs as well.

So, take that as you will but that's just the reality. SRR compares favorably to Floyd, whether ancient boxing or not. Punching is punching whether it is 2009 or 2109.

Everything i said is fact on video for the real sugar on video my version you need glasses to see this one you obviously do cause nobody who seen the real version goes against what I said as if its a lie

Your version same as the louis the crazy people on this site and others never existed I don't care about fiction versions so none of the crazy stuff you said matters to me since its fiction
this version yea he beats floyd and others since he is on their level of advanced movement and skills
