Whitaker could because after all he went the distance with Trinidad having suffered a broken jaw. He had the toughness and the defensive ability. Robinson's combination of greater size along with the speed, power and accuracy he possessed might end up being too much though.

Originally posted by TheGreatA View PostRoger could hit though, was a 2 division champion and Whitaker was in his 11th professional fight I believe. I agree however that Robinson could hurt Whitaker and he would do a better job of finishing than Roger.
floyd is what's now but sugar ray will always be the greatest ever imo no one can compare in my mind.

Guys that would go in a defensive shell probably would like Clottey and Mayweather if Mayweather decided to go full defense and forget about offense
Guys that like to engage would get stopped IMO so Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Mosley.
There is a chance that Robinson wouldn't got for the knockout of course and just box but if this is prime 147 Robinson most guys would get stopped.

15 rounds only the best of the elite
