WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT, HOLD THE GODDAMN PHONE. You'd pick Oscar to beat Sugar Ray Robinson? Are you f*cking high?

You'd be lucky to have Oscar beat Robinson in a video game.

Take are easy Gil))).

I mean it might be done in a videogame, but videogame's don't deal in reality. Robinson would beat DLH 10 out 10 times. Stopping him at least 6 or 7 of those times.

None of them would be particularly close.

I'm taking it easy, I've disagreed with a few other picks in a few of the other tournaments, but that one was just too much. I had to say something.

At least it takes away from the fact that Napoles would clown Tito.

Yeah he would. Also I doubt Tommy Hearns knocks out Emile Griffith on most nights. I agree he'd beat him, but I don't think he'd stop him. Griffith had a great chin, and was only stopped twice in a career of over 100 bouts. Both against Middleweights.

I got Hearns by decision as well. And I fully doubt Leonard turning the trick on Tommy again. I have Hearns 7 or 8 out of 10. Leonard rates higher because of what was, horrific match up for him as proven in the fights.

Robinson would bring out the best in Oscar. It would be a terrific fight. But Ray wins.

Oscar didn't roll over for anyone, and produced his best in his biggest fights, but he's not winning that one, nor making it close. Good fight to watch, but result never in doubt.

Yeah I pretty much agree with everyone else, that was a bit of a mad one.

Vladimir5555 wrote:Leonard UD 15 ODLH

Especially after he predicts that Loenard would beat De La Hoya... How could Leonard outpoint him but Robinson couldn't?

Not quite sure how that works to be honest.
