Which one of the fabulous 4 would give Ray Robinson the most trouble?

SRR is the GOAT but which of the 4 greats from the 80s would be the best and most effective style match up for him?

[Joshua Child]

Considering the type of guys that actually beat him (Jake Lamotta, Carmen Basilio to name a few) I think Hagler would present the biggest problems for him. Power, chin, heart. Not that any of the others couldn't beat him I just think Hagler would be a tough test.

Not to mention he fought out of the southpaw stance.

Marv definitely

Marv definitely

How many southpaws did SRR defeat in his career? I am not sure off the top of my head.

[Holywarrior]

Hagler and it's not even close.

[Doctor_Tenma]

All of them would, I'm not even sure he gets past Hearns. As for the most trouble I'd say Hagler.

don't know i am not from that era, but from watching what footage is out on him, prime marv would be a real test at 160...@ 147 he'd be looking in the mirror when it comes to srl...

LaMotta and Basilio were much better at cutting the ring off than Hagler was. Hagler was actually a very mediocre pressure fighter. The Hearns fight flattered him a great deal.

I'm not saying those guys were chumps. Basilio was a hell of a pressure fighter who puts many modern "in-fighters" to shame in terms of that specific talent. The question was who would pose the biggest problems for SRR. Hearns might present some issues but SRR was 5'-11" so the height advantage wouldn't be all that big.
