    Don't think I saw it mentioned but for me it would be prime hagler v prime leonard. I know it probably gets talked about so much it gets boring but woulda been a good one. Also La Motta V Cerdan 2 would have been good too. And seeing Teofilo stephenson v Ali in 76 might have been a bit tasty, but of course the love of a million cubans was better than $8 dollars

    EDIT Pryor V leonard

    SRR vs. Charley Burley would've been a hell of a fight. Both were reluctant because the money wouldn't have been there but it would've been epic. Many though that Burley had the best shot of beating SRR.

    That is not true. Burley would have fought Robinson for his rent. Robinson avoided the entire Murderers Row fighting Wade after he had been retired for over two years.

    Well Robinson was reluctant ... and Burley didn't blame him.

    No one fought those guys ... HIGH risk and low reward/pay fights. But I think Robinson should've fought at least one of them ... the opportunity had to be there at some point. He can fight Jake LaMotta 6 times but not Burley or any of the Murderers Row guys even once?
