Good one. I can think of a few others I'd like to see against Robinson, such as Leonard, Curry, etc. For sure Robinson's record is optically most impressive, but I'm not convinced that he is definitely superior to the best of other eras, in terms of boxing ability and what would happen in face to face, prime vs prime meetings. In that sense I don't think he is necessarily undisputedly the best. Too much weight goes to long extensive records with many fights. IMO.

Mayweather v DLH
Calzaghe v RJJ
Vargas v Mayorga

Bloodbath for sure, minimum of 15 cuts on each guy and at least 10 time outs to mop and dry the canvas from all the blood. :jabbing:
