    Robinson at his MWT best would be too fast for Monzon & would build an early lead which IMO Monzon wouldnt have enough rds to make up despite him giving SRR hell in the later rds (11-15), Ray would be right there with him even in Carlos best rds.

    Robinson UD Monzon

    Robinson would slip Monzon's jab, attack the ribs, and win a UD.

    Hmmmm....aren't many MW's I'd pick against Monzon H2H (except Hagler) but I actually think Ray Robinson wins a lot of the early going, and whilst he struggles in the last 3-4 rounds (Monzon hurting him on several occassions) just does enough to win a decision, maybe it's an SD if Monzon does something in the early rounds to make it close.

    Tough one to call though, no doubt.
