    making excuses again talking like your opinion is fact "Duran would have stopped all but a handful of welterweights"

    Like who? Josef Nsubuga?

    You're talking **** you know! RD's % KO was about half coming in mostly gainst club fighters.

    It's also clear to me you dont know much about Geraldo. All you know about him is he was a middleweight. Probably never even saw the guy.

    Classified as a arm puncher and a slapper with most of his weight in his legs, the arms and shoulders of a welter. What do you think team Dundee took this fight for? :nut

    and the layoff in the howard fight is yet excuse. This is Kevin Howard we're talking about, not John Mugabi or Hitman Hearns. A 20-4 record and a blown up welter if there ever was one

    I'm not saying Leonard isnt a quality opponent but after testing his defenses, once the chess game is over and the real fighting begins, you know Leonard doesnt have the mental or physical toughness to make it all the way thru

    50:50 is a good idea.
    i wanted to mention that i wonder if robinson would have done the same against hearns.
    but robinson did have size advantage over leonard.

    Nice try. I know all about the crap you try to spew. I have his fight with Hagler, his fight with Leonard, and his fight with Hearns. Geraldo gave Hagler a tough fight for about 6 rounds and then faded down the stretch.

    p.s. Leonard actually beat Geraldo more convincingly on the cards than your boy Hagler. Enough of your nonsense.......................I think Robinson would win a close decision in a great fight.

    I don't care what you think! People like you are full of excuses "Geraldo was a much bigger man".

    He was a skinny middleweight ranked #10 at most. An arm puncher and slapper put the hurt on your "iron chinned" Leonard and had him back peddling. He's going nowhere but down vs Robinson. THis isnt even a contest except in the feeliing out rounds.

    It's just a matter of how soon Robinson wants to open up on him. He'll test his chin somehwere around rounds four and six. It might not come to the forefront the first time but a chin like leonard's will eventually show up for the dross that it is and then Robinson will move in for the kill. Knowing leonard, he will resign himself to the inevitable knockout as he did in the Camacho fight and succumb to superior firepower.


    Your man couldnt even give Norris a fight and hung on for dear life. Here you are calling my man Norris "chinny" and your's iron chinned. :lol:

    Got things backwards dont you think? Who was it that was backpeddling throughout the fight and dropped to the canvas repeatedly?

    Care to answer it or you going to repeat the nonsense that you spew and expect me to believe it?

    Your boy barely came out of it alive while mine barely broke a sweat. :yep

    If you want bragging rights instead of relying on excuses then you got to win fights to do it!

    Robinson totally. Leonard was talented as hell, but Robbie was the master.

    Well I came over here to study at London School of Economics in 04 so I've been here a while now.

    To be honest I like it, working in London is great but I like a quiet life hence why I headed out this way!!

    And I heard the girls are easy.....haha.

    Strong opinions for Robinson here. Anyone else old enough to have seen him fight live?
