    Duran stylistically is all wrong for Robinson and the version that fought Hagler has a good shot. Maybe not favourite but 50/50. Hagler i feel is a 55/45 favourite

    Roy Jones with his 50 or so fights, than he went downhill,fast...Could
    Jones fight five more times as Greb did against Hall of Famers,and still
    maintain his greatness...The answer is a resounding NO...
    Since when was Bob Foster a middleweight [ 160 lb] ??
    Fitz as a middleweight was a freak of nature, with his upper torso of a heavyweight..

    Robinson is not unbeatable but I don't see anyone being favored to beat him going in to the fight.

    Might help to learn a little respect for your elders. Burt has been around boxing a long time.

    Just sayin....

    Dick Tiger. Robby always had problems with those strong, rock-jawed fighters who put pressure on him(LaMotta, Fullmer, Basilio, etc). Tiger was one of those types.

    Heck, SRR had major problems with almost every tough middleweight he faced, good or great(Mims, Abrams, Castellani, etc).
