    Robinson obviously never fought at 154lbs, but if he fought there whenever you think would be best, either him moving up from 147lbs at his best, or dropping down from 160lbs at his best.

    Who wins this matchup?

    Well Lara would have a excellent chance to beat Robinson today. Almost 40 yrs after his death.
    But head to head , prime vs prime?
    His chances would slightly be better than mine.
    And I'm over 50 yrs old.
    Slim and none would be his chances.
    And slim went on vacation.
