    Giardello has a good chance for an upset.

    Was SRR overall the greater fighter than Joey? Yes..he was capable of more, all around than Joey..was Joey, on the other hand capable of defeating SRR head to head? Yes indeed...and so I agree with GPater that he had the chance of upsetting Robinson...would SRR have beaten Joey in a rematch if upset in their initial encounter? Probably.

    I could see Robinson losing at least one in a serious against Joey.
