    I think the 1951 Robinson who beat LaMotta would box Tigers ears off. I dont even think it would close. That Robinson could coast and easily outbox fighters to boring decisions. Tiger was shorter, had a shorter reach, was slower of both hand and foot, couldnt punch as hard and was nowhere near the boxer. This is an easy win for Robinson. Its just a bad matchup for Tiger.
