    My general rule, if the speed person has a good chin, he wins. Of course accuracy plays a big role too.

    Picks

    Fitz over Jones
    Marciano over Patterson
    Tunney over Moore
    Tua over Dokes
    Robinson over Hagler

    Good choices though I think Hagler v Ray might be problematic.

    SRR was an offensive machine with a good chin, amazing skills and very good speed. Hagler never really like to engage vs a tough minded guy who can throw the leather. He gave Duran way too much respect. He gave Mugabi too much respect until he realized e was being out boxed.

    I do think it would be a good match. I like SRR.
