Yea, him and Hagler. In terms of accomplishments, I rate Monzon first, Hagler second and Robinson third*. In terms of head-to-head ability, I rate Hagler first, Monzon second and Robinson third.

*I'm well aware of Harry Greb.

My money would be on Monzon easily on a head to head with Hagler at their primes. You know it almost happened? Wouldnt have told us much as Monzon was well past his time.

No MW in history would easily beat a prime Marvin Hagler. Hagler v Monzon would have been very close, a close decision either way would be my guess

I said my money would be on him easily. Didn't mean to say it would be an easy fight. But that's who I would back with my dough.

Taylor might be qualified to be Robinsons's sparring partner...that is about it....
