Robinson was essentially Leonard with more power and less of a clowner. Leonard probably had better movement though, but Robinson hurts him more, and wins the decision.Originally Posted by Mr140
Hearns vs Robinson is great, but given the nature of both men, this wouldn't be long before it turned into a brawl, and Robinson's granite chin prevails over Hearns shaky one. Robinson within 5 rounds by KO, great fight though.
Robinson would KO Duran I believe in a very good match, but at WW Duran is outgunned and wouldn't havr the success he had against Leonard because of the power of SRR.
At MW I think this is a very intriguing matchup. Leonard beat Hagler but Robinson wasn't the mover Leonard was. Robinson had at least as much power at MW if not more than Hagler and was quicker, but Hagler was stronger likely and very good himself. Very hard fight to call, I think this is similar to a Hearns/Hagler type situation, but with Hearns having a better chin and better cardio, and a better gameplan. I think SRR is capable of outboxing Hagler, but I'm not sure this fight goes that route. I honestly can't call either KO'ing the other, so I say decision either way. Dunno who to call, sorry.
