    Ray Leonard, coming up to middleweight, finds Bob Fitzsimmons in hold of the crown instead of Marvin Hagler. How does this play out? 15 rounds.

    Well you would have to think even that faded version of Ray would be too quick and elusive for Ruby Robert and would eke out a fairly wide UD.
    However you know that if he makes one mistake it could be lights out.

    I think Fitzsimmons gets the KO, maybe around mid rounds.

    I think he looks stiff because the film quality wasn't the best.
