    What do you think his record would be if he fought all of the fighters Robinson did?

    0 wins. Robinson fought in the black and white era, before there was color in the video. Fighters were better, tougher, and had bigger dicks.

    Tommy's chin would surely fail him on a few occasions

    Nobody gets through that unbeaten. You fight enough great fighters and fight that long, someone's going to beat you.

    He gets KO'd in all the toughest fights. Does well compared to other fighters though.

    In welterweight and middleweight championship fights he'd do at least as good as Robinson did.

    How many wins would he get against Jake Lamotta in the 5 fights?

    In 5 fights, I honestly think Tommy could beat him at least 4 times. Jake was not a big puncher, and I don't see him knocking Tommy out. If Tommy is smart, and boxes him on the backfoot, without looking to engage Jake and knock him out, then Tommy wins a decision. The two issues here, are whether Tommy is smart enough not to go for the knockout, and how would Hearns stamina hold up over 15 rounds under Lamotta's pressure. Tommy fought 15 rounds before (against Benitez) and finished well, however Lamotta could wear him down.

    Hearns is my all time fave but no, just no.

    He'd have more L's than Sugar did, Sugar fought some bad muther****ers with big big punches, intense pressure and great chins which is Tommy's cryptonite.

    I think he would win 1-2, LaMotta is quite underrated. I think LaMotta might win one by KO from Hearns being tired and possibly could lose one on points.

    You can really estimate how 5 fights would go though because they work out the other guys weaknesses and exploit them.

    you're a good poster man. fair points all around. whether tommy would go for the knockout or not, and if that would hurt him in the deep waters against the iron chinned, indomitable will of jake lamotts would be huge plots in that fantasy matchup.

    Tommys best win was vs an iron chinned lightweight legend, but LaMotta was an iron chinned middleweight. Tommy probably outboxes and beats LaMotta to the punch and beats hims 3 outta 5 times in 5 closely contested fights, but on the inside LaMotta mauls Tommy up. Similar to Hagler Hearns, but goes 15. Hearns aint knocking out LaMotta, but I think LaMotta could of tko'd Tommy. Didnt have the size or speed, but only he, Barkley, and Hagler could walk through Tommys best shots to land their own.
