Which middleweights would you pick to beat 1951 Robinson?

Of the middleweights who were active in 51, i believe the Aussie 'dark horse' Dave Sands may have been a worthy candidate..

To the best of my knowledge a match had been agreed for the summer of 52, but Sands was killed in a truck crash just prior to the event taking place..

As for a fantasy match, i'd go with Monzon to wear him down slowly and win an ugly dc.

I would pick Greb over SRR in a heartbeat. This is 160. I am a strong believer in weight classes.

I would also favor Monzon and Hagler (both cuter and more aggressive version) to win a good majority of a series against Robinson. 7-8 out of 10.

I will get some **** for the folowing, but I don't care. I suspect that good versions of Toney (say his "i actually care" fights from 91-92), Hopkins (99-01, echols to tito or so) and Jones (harder to find the right pick cos Jones stayed for a really short time at 160) probably right before moving up) get to win the majority of a series against SRR. Bear in mind that these modern MW are larger than those Ray was fighting, due to the weigh in rules...

How can you pick Greb? I don't understand why people even do this. There's no footage.

I just can't see monzon being ray tbh...

I think Monzon is very deceptive. Sometimes he doesn't look that great(especially on the speed front.) but, ATG's like Griffith get beaten by him.

The same way I sometimes pick a fighter of which I have seen only crappy BW videos over a fighter from the 2000s whom I have seen in HD

Black and White footage is completely different from zero footage.

If he was good enough to beat Tunney he's good enough to beat Robinson IMO
