    I think the only guy to stop Bobo at 160lbs was Robinson.

    Big call.

    There is no way I see for Nino to beat Bobo Olson...Olson was a terrific swarmer and rough infighter who if not for Ray Robinson ,who had Olson's number, Olson would have been a bigger star of the MWs of his time...

    Olson by decision. I think Olson would be able to close the distance, and beat Nino on the inside.
