Sugar Ray Robinson vs the Modern Era. Not as easy as we think.

When will you and others learn that Floyd's prime isn't at 147. In fact the 147 version of Floyd will probably get knocked out by true Welter Greats.

What is this denial when it comes to Manny and Floyd's true weight? Just because they are natural light weights don't make them any less great.

It's as if Floyd fans stubbornly refuse to admit Floyd's best weight is far from that of Robinson, Hearns.Leonard etc..

Robinson will KO Floyd, but it won't be as easy as people think. To think a natural lightweight (no matter how good) can survive against a 5'11 1/2 fighter who also ended up as one of the greatest middleweights ever.. is absurd. But Floyd will definitely win a few rounds and make it competitive until later on.

Duran and Pernell would beat Floyd, no doubt.

Nah. I don't think so. Ray Robinson had the physicality, and athleticism to match him, and had a much better chin.

It would look like Hagler/Hearns. Except Ray could box with him too.

Will you pick the Middleweight version of Roy Jones(the little we seen) against the 160 Robinson?

I hate doing this, but yes. Roy was the peak of human athleticism in terms of boxing in his prime.

His athleticism, and style would be a tough task for anyone at or around his weight classes.

He would be the best boxer from 147 to 160. He would KO Mayweather, Pacquiao, Martinez, Bradley, Golovkin, Alvarez, and Lara.

He never would make pro in 70s-90s to outdated
