    if robinson had beaten maxim would he of given moore a tittle shot


    and if not how would robinson be viewed having perhaps ducked burley and moore


    one last question would moore of hung around at light heavy or would he of jumped to heavy straight away and concentrated a getting a heavyweight tittle shot earlier than he did

    Robinson offered Moore 30% of the purse to fight him when Moore was LHW champ, Moore refused wanting 50-50

    Possibly since Moore was willing to fight for pennies in order to get a title shot (which he did against Maxim).

    Both knew their value once they were champions though, and couldn't do business with each other.
