    Are you responding to my post?

    I only mentioned Trinidad out of respect. He'd make it interesting for a few rounds but I made it clear that the only guy that I would make a favorite over SRR at WW is Tommy Hearns. Leonard, Duran, DLH and Griffith would all be extremely competitive but I would not make any of them a favorite over Ray.

    Making Hearns a favourite over Robinson seems bizarre to me. Robinson is a better fighter than Leonard for sure, even if the boxing is arguable, he is also a more proven puncher and also a more proven puncher that was able to find the higher gear when in trouble.

    I don't think Hearns has a very good chance based upon his WW career, to be honest.

    How the hell anyone makes Hearns the favourite is beyond me as well. Robinson is the worst kind of fighter he can face. Someone with equal firepower, even more ferocity and far more durability. He's also not much smaller.
