Floyd Mayweather Jr. Versus Sugar Ray Robinson?

No one considers Floyd to be the greatest pound for pound of all time.

If he fought Robinson at 147, Floyd would be stopped in less than 10 rounds.

The round for round is the same Floyd runs, Robinson catches him and pounds the stuffing's out of him until he either quits or the ref stops the fight.

Sugar Ray Robinson Jr

I one think that people forget is that Floyd's style would be something Robinson never faced. But the combination of speed, power, will, chin, heart, Height, and toughness of Robinson is also something Floyd has never faced. Although there is not much footage of Sugar Ray at Welter (If any?) that is where supposedly he was his best. I think height would play a big part of the fight as Ray Robinson was 5'11. Robinson also had the endurance to last as long as Mayweather. I thing about Robinson is he beat SO many Hall of Famers, some of them with ease...Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavalian, Jake Lamotta, and Maxie Shapiro. It's tough to argue a resume like that. I think Robinson gets a tough division. I'd say Sugar Ray wins the first 4 rounds. Floyd always starts slowly in fights until he figures you out. Floyd takes a few of the middle rounds, although they are close. Say rounds 5-7. Robinson scores the first knockdown of Floyd in the 8th with a lighting quick right hand in the corner. Robinson begins to take off winning most of the final 7 rounds although very closely and debatable.

RE:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Versus Sugar Ray Robinson?

Ive been inspired by a question I just answered. As many are beginning to consider Floyd a greatest pound for pound of all time, lets put him in against the greatest pound for pound of all time. Who wins and why? Give me the round per round.

Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest middleweight of all time and quite probably the greatest P4P boxer of all time, Floyd was stretched to the limit at 154 and not even in Robinson's league. Robinson was superior to Mayweather in every comparable respect, this one is a total mismatch, Mayweather would have no real chance against Robinson. If Floyd fought safe he would lose every round, Robinson's hand and foot speed were superior to Floyd even though Robinson was the bigger man, and if Floyd tried to slug, he would get KOed.

True, hard to compare 50 year ago atheletes to today, but in my mind and heart, on a good day (he didn't have many bad days in his prime) Sugar Ray would have blasted Floyd with a finesse and fury, the likes of which Floyd has never seen and will never see. So hard to do these things, but I truely believe he'd hand Floyd his one and only KO. I must say, Floyd, working with his dad now, has shored up his D. And with his age, and current strategy, that'd be his smartest way to fight Sugar Ray.

the simply answer is we don't know as there isn't any footage of ray as a welter ,but i have to go with SRR from what he achieved and from reports of his genius ,also for me floyd isn't a welter so size matters floyd could do 140 without trouble . i'm sure floyd would show SRR a few moves he hadn't seen and robinson would show floyd many moves he hadn't seen before .

Sugar Ray Robinson has the height, the chin, the heart, the speed, the power, and the endurance. He would destroy and I mean destroy Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Interesting match up. Lets see how Floyd goes against Manny Pacquaio as I think Manny Pacquaio is as good as any of the best throw back fighters
