    Sugar Ray Robinson could pick up a loss in there somewhere, maybe 2. If they all fight him 7 times (in best of 7's, where 4 or more wins gets the victory), Sugar Ray clears, in my opinion.

    Leonard, Napoles and Hearns have a chance for a win in a one time matchup. That being said, I would make SRR the favorite against all three. That being said, welterweight Napoles would probably get cut to ribbons. I have no idea if Robby could take a Hearns blast but if he could he would eventually do to Hearns what Leonard did in their first fight.

    Leonard is the guy that could consistently give Robinson trouble. I would love to see them fight.

    I would say that in his Prime he beats almost all of them.

    As long as he's always showing up in his best version i.e. prime then for sure he wins. But if he faced them all with the usual ebbs and flows of a career then there's always the chance he loses a couple. SRR never lost to anyone weighing 147lbs and under in real life and rehydration, while it has its benefits also has drawbacks that someone as gifted as SRR will gladly take advantage of. I see him beating most of them with the same ease he did Kid Gavilan the 2nd time around and perhaps having some competitive bouts against Jose Napoles and Ray Leonard. I can't pick any of the rest to win more than 7 out of 15 rounds

    He beats them all except for Ray Leonard and Duran, not saying he couldn't win but I could see him picking up losses from both.

    In theory I’d favor him to beat all of those men. But he most likely picks up a loss against somebody.
