Here's the thing: Robinson just about had the height/power/movement of Hearns, the durability of Hagler, the speed and combination punching of Leonard, and the intensity and body attack of Duran. He'd beat them all. Hagler's size advantage probably means he has the best chance of pulling out the win, but Ray at his best genuinely is the best. That's not just some cliche that "those in the know" spew about. It's not a myth. He's the very, very best that there has ever been. Ever.

someone voted for Duran?? Duran????? The guy couldnt beat Benitez and Hearns howse he gonna beat Robinson????? Duran was the only guy who was outclassed by wilfredo benitez Thomas hearns and sugar Ray!!!
I'd give all but Duran a shot at beating him, he's just to small in my opinion. That doesn't mean any were greater of course.
