Ray Robinson in the place of ray leonard

Yes..... However I do believe a prime Hagler would be a hell of a fight at middleweight. SRL got Hagler on the slide and just beat him over 12 rounds... Prime Hagler is a different animal altogether. I still fancy Robinson to get the job done.

He beats Duran on points in a wonderful fight.

Stops Hearns in around 10 rounds in a shoot out.

Stops Benitez as well

Sugar Ray Robinson.... Pound for pound the best ever.

 

I have a terrible feeling that wouldn't set as well with SRR. Reminds me of the Japanese commander's quote following Pearl Harbor (paraphrase): "All I did was awaken a sleeping tiger and filled him with a terrible vengeance!"

 

SRR was a different, harder, meaner, nastier, more purposeful kettle of fish altogether than Leonard. I like your Pearl Harbor analogy a lot jowcol. The former Walker Smith wasn't one to be f ucked with.

 

Absolutely....I grew up hearing and reading this and it remains as true as it was back then.

 

beats everyone at 147 including Hearns. loses to a much improved Hearns at 154, loses to Roldan who roughs him up, and loses to Hagler

 

Oh im certainly not disputing the speed of Leonard , not by a long shot. Even past his best against Donny he had amazing fast hand s

 

I would give Duran a real chance against SRR, The Duran from Montreal was amazing. SRR was not quite as fast as Leonard but had more power. SRR was also not as fluid on his toes as Ray. This all helps Duran. SRR could fell Duran much like Hearns did at anytime, but I think the defense of Duran keeps that from happening.

Leonard vs SRR would have been an amazing fight, I see Robinson winning over 15 by decision.

Hearns Vs SRR would have been a real hot one, I don't see Hearn's making it past 6 rounds, but I do see him dropping SRR

Hagler and SRR at Middle?. In his Prime Hagler would have edged SRR. I don't think SRR will have enough enough to take the Iron chinned champion out.

SRR Robinson likely go 3-1 against the fab 4 in closer than expected matches, Benitez would also have a solid chance to upset Robinson in a spoiler type fight.
