Sugar Ray Robinson Vs Southpaws

I don't know why but I kinda find southpaws a difficult watch. Unless, you're Prince Naseem Hamed...

Joe Curcio was a southpaw with a respectable record.
Robinson knocked him out at the end of the first round and in those days you could be saved by the bell. Curcio was still out cold when the bell went for the second round and was counted out by the referee.

There was some controversy over it, although seemingly without merit:

Wow, great story, never knew that. I'll keep Joe Curcio in mind whenever Mayweather nuthuggers try to claim Floyd as the greatest ever. Damn Robinson haters.
