How would this unification have gone?

I would think that Johnson would have been too good for Robinson and stopped him somewhere in the mid to late rounds

I think Johnson would've won a clear decision.

Johnson would have been the favourite, but Robinson was underdog most of his life and I didn't expect him to beat Hodkinson, Mcmillan or Mckenzie but he did.

Robinson's fitness was most impressive.

put the Robinson who beat Hodkinson in with the Johnson who lost to Hamed, Robinson wins hands-down.

Johnson with 2 years' less ringrust beats any version of Robinson, though.

Johnson was superior to those fighters.

I'd pick the Johnson from the Hamed bout over SR. Past-prime he was; he struggled with Badillo a short time earlier.

I don't agree that he was superior to all 3. Perhaps Mckenzie at FW only, as he was not a natural FW.

Hodkinson wasn't even prime v. Robinson. He's the best of the three. I'd take Johnson over prime Hodkinson.

He wasn't prime but though he would have had enough to beat Robinson.

I think Hoko has the cut/swelling problem, but if that doesn't happen then I think he wins and Mcmillan at his best like he was against Stecca wins also.

Interesting match.

Robinson was a hard man to beat if you gave him an inch.

Charles Shepherd managed to do it. I think a peak Robinson could too. Robinson on PTS. Definitely underrated because of the Naz fight.

Shall I use this logic, cite all Robinson losses and then say "if they managed to do it..."
Johnson was unbeaten for many years and fought and beat better fighters than Robinson.
