Mayweather started at 130, Robinson started at 147. Robinson could knock out full fleged light heavies when he was OLD, when he was young he knocked people out clean on a regular basis.
Robinson took his first title fight one month after his last fight. Let me reword that, he didnt accept the terms for his title fight a month later...HE FOUGHT FOR THE TITLE A MONTH LATER.
In no alternative universe, would Maidana go past seven rounds with him...and I am spotting him three.
You kidding me, Maidana would've just been a sparmate for Robinson. He's ain't in Sugar's class.
Ok. Be fair.
37 year old Mayweather won vs Maidana.
34 year old Ray Robinson lost by UD in 55 to Ralph Jones who had lost 5 consecutive fights going into the match up.
Who? I hear you ask. Exactly. Who?
His record over his career was 52-32-5.
People forget how old floyd is now.
And just because prime Robinson was great doesn't mean old Robinson was invincible too.
Robinson by TKO. Maidana would either get knocked out, or bloodied, and tore up so bad they would stop it. Maidana wasn't a top 5 welterweight today, he wouldn't stand a chance against the greatest ever.
Mayweather gave up 17 lbs on fight night,
Somehow you fail to ever mention that.
Is Robinson going to give up 17 lbs?
That would be the fair question.
He is 37 years old, landed more than 50% of his punches and avoided 75% from Maidana. You call that average?
ok is this about floyds claim bein greater than robinson?
funny cos maidana is still c-level... and floyd just got exposed by a lowrisk opoonent...
aint it a bit foolish to think bein able to hurt floyd gives maidana the right to touch gloves w/ an atg like robinsons?
At welterweight Robinson would clean his clock in less than 5 rounds.
At welter there is no one that was a better fighter in the history of boxing.
Maidana gave TBE his hardest fight in his career he would easily knock out a bum like Robinson hahaha
Robinson gives his *** a clean left hook like he did with Fullmer and breaks his jaw KO 5
We all saw how Maidana gave Mayweather problems and made him look average.
How would a bout between Maidana & Sugar Ray Robinson at welterweight play out?
Maidana;
Height; 5'7''
Reach; 69''
Robinson;
Height; 6'0''
Reach; 72.5''
when he finally lost a fight it was because he was way to old to fight so id say if he was in his prime then he'd win like he did when he was champ
SUGER RAY BY KO
