    No, but he could make it closer each time out.

    if gavilan can make it close and uncomfortable, so could napoles. and thinblack has a good point: he'd make it closer each time. but the only person to beat him at 147 held a massive size advantage and napoles isn't even big for a welter. smooth skills that fall JUST under robinson's own arsenal

    You're talking about two supreme talents here..I think SRR would barely nick the bout.
