    You are offered 10, 000 to....

    Pick any fighter in the history of boxing to the present of boxing who fought at 154lbs and below...meaning they NEVER fought above 154lbs

    and pit that fighter vs a prime, on his best night Sugar Ray Robinson at welterweight...

    if your fighter beats Robinson, you'd get the 10ks....but if your fighters loses, you are 10k in debt and making $300 monthly payments for a few years...

    draw? no one gets anything as if the offer never happened...

    remember, 101-154lbs, any fighter from past and present to face Robinson at 147lbs on both of their best nights (even give examples)

    Thomas Hearns...simply based on his physical attributes and natural gifts. He would have needed some good cornerwork though...so that he didn't get caught up in a slugfest with Ray.

    I think Hearns would have the best shot at outboxing Robinson. Nobody is stopping Ray so that one is factored out. Hearns had the long, hard jab...the power in the right hand and left hook, the handspeed, the nautral boxing ability, etc. You never saw Hearns being outboxed when he was up on his toes throwing the jab with rights behind it.

    Anyway, I don't know if HEarns' chin carries him the whole way (it was much better at 147/154 though), but he'd have the best shot in my opinion.

      His length and power would be key in keeping Robinson off of him. I don't think he was defensively sound enough to avoid Rays punches all night so he'd have to use an effective jab to keep some distance.

        I could not think off anyone who could beat him at 101-154 myself.

          I'd personally pick Oscar De La Hoya.

          In his prime.

                    Well, damn. Alright. If I had to pick someone, it would one of two men. Either Roberto Duran, who someone else has already suggested..or....Aaron Pryor, with preferences on Duran; but they're both tough, fast, smart, and determined S.O.B.'s.

                    Anyhoo, I'm out. Peace.
