    Well Basilio did have to jump from Welterweight to middleweight to have a shot at Robinson and Fullmer, Fullmer was just the bigger guy and the 2 fights show that.

    And Basilio had really been through the wars by that stage. Not that I'd see a different result against a different version of Basilio, as Fullmer did a really good job on him and was a very skilled fighter himself. But yeah, bear in mind the weight difference and Basilio's other accomplishments and it's not unjustified tbh.
