More often than not he would probably lose, but Robinson was getting hit a lot by the jab of Lamotta when he was only 31 at MW or not that shouldn't happen against a guy so much slower than him, but Leonard, his equal in speed, would give him fits with that stiff jab. I am not sure if Monzon or Hopkins would have beaten RObinson at middleweight, it would have been good, and I also don't think Leonard would have had a better chance at middleweight than at welterweight, I think the higher they go the more advantage to RObinson.
