Omg............lol..............lol.............lo l. I can just imagine a ****y wee skinny 17 year old with a baseball cap on backwards quacking at me "Im going to take ye up the moors in me uncles lorry and nack ye out!" lol. Pity he's banned id love to see him try and slaber more. What a freak - 3 years boxing and bare knuckle champ? Ive been boxing all together for about a year and a half...or so... i could say ive been boxing for only 10 months..but i reckon id take him in a ring. You have to be ****** to talk like that, and if any of it was true he wouldn't be saying it lol.

He was someones alt just ****ing about lol.

Anyways back to Robinson, 93 fights undefeated is a wicked record.

Best. Boxer. Ever.

A top two fighter of all-time, no doubt.

SRR was great no doubt. But his first fight with Basilio damages him significantly in my eyes. The physical advantages he had over the smaller, weaker, slower and less skilled Basilio should have seen him dominate... was there a story behind that or just a flat night?

(Btw, too bad that guy got banned. That was some funny stuff.)

He wasn't necessarily smaller. They were both natural welterweights, and I think Robinson was past it at that point. Also Basilio had a granite chin.

Yeah, Basilio was definitely a tough guy, and you're right that Robinson was already in the twilight of his career but he was a lot bigger! Take another look at the two of them together. SRR had a *much* bigger frame than Basilio. Probably I shouldn't make too much of that fight, but the physical difference was striking to me...

Well, like I said, Basilio's head was probably made out of solid steel, and he was nearly impossible to stun, let alone knock out, so it's no suprise that even with Robinson's "bigger frame", that he couldn't ko Basilio.
