Who wins out of Ray Robinson's top 4 opponents vs Ray Leonard's top 4 opponents at reasonable weights?
Henry Armstrong vs Roberto Duran
Jake Lamotta vs Thomas Hearns
Kid Gavilan vs Wilfred Benitez
Carmen Basilio vs Marvin Hagler
Feel free to switch them up or add more.

I would say probably Robinson's, except for the last one. Fullmer-Hagler I think would be a better fight, but again I would favor Hagler.

I'd go 2-2, I think Duran and Hagler win on Leonard's side and Gavilan and LaMotta take it on Robinson's.

Fullmer was better than Basillo.

How exciting a fight would Armstrong Vs Duran have been.

I would take Robinson's boys and I'd be more inclined to put
Gavilan v Hearns for height difference (closer)
LaMotta v Haglar, better match (tough)
Basillio v Benitez
again Robinson's boy get the edge, but we could be surprised namely with Armstrong v Duran...

Yeah, that would've been a war of the highest caliber. Fists flying everywhere.

Its silly that I have never thought of this match up. But after reading it I just day dreamed off imagining what it'd be like.
Dirty, gritty and desperate...relentless battle of leather and bone.
