    Pazienza made Jones look beatable how?

    Going an entire round without landing a punch before getting brutally stopped?

    Anyway as to the thread I'd pick Hagler.

    he made jones retreat to the ropes and punished him and jones had to hold and wait until the referee broke them. if the ref let it be , pazienza would have done what hopkins regularly does on such occasions.

    My gut says Greb! Anyway, that's where my money would go.

    I think Robinson could be the best. He had concussive punching power, and a good chin, and he knew when to box and when to attack, so he likely wouldn't be baited into a war with Hagler, and could win a UD, especially with his chin and heart.

    He did very well against a similiar fighter in Lamotta when Hagler came foward.

    I think Robinson is too slick for Monzon, and too fast for Hopkins.

    And like other's said, there is no tape on Greb.

    Jones would be difficult of course, but Robinson has the hand speed to connect, the guile to set traps, and the power to put Jones on the deck.
