I was just on boxrec reading about the history of world championships.

Did you know that Robinson NEVER won the WBO Interim Emeritus Junior Middleweight Championship?

The best he ever did was win the "World Welterweight" and "World Middleweight" titles... pretty much some local belts with no history.

Why did the supposedly great Robinson duck a sixth fight with Jake LaMotta? Why?

He beats up on kids... he beats his wife...

He even beat up on jazz trumpeter Henry Armstrong.

Typical coward. He'd never fight against a real man. He'd run away from me like a scalded dog.

A disgrace to the sport.

[Welsh Jon]

Coward knew Tyson was coming for him in 1989. So what does he do? He dies. How convenient.

That one was excellent

Robinson was a nobody, had to use somebody elses name to get fights. Plus he ducked so many guys he had to fight LaMotta a club fighter at best, 5 times!
