There was NO footage of Robinson as a welterweight

Yes, there is footage of Robinson at Welterweight.

Which fights? I've been told by a few fight writers that to date there hasn't been any welterweight footage of robinson.

Well, I have about ten minutes of his 1950 Welterweight title defense against Charley Fusari on tape (as well as a short clip on my comp, which I would be willing to pass along to you via a PM if you'd like...give me a minute to upload that), so I know for a fact that there's footage of that fight available nowadays.

I've also been told by someone with an extensive collection that one of his fights with Sammy Angott is still nowadays, as well, but he told me the quality of the footage made in almost unwatchable in assessing Robinson's talents in it (due to water damage, I believe it was).

Not much is available, but there is a little something still around from his Welterweight days.

Shanus, I'll just throw this link in the thread so others can take a peak at it, as well, if they so chose. I can only hope that you get the chance to grab it too, though, since you're the one it's really intended for;

someone told me folyd mayweather was wealtherweight is it true

[oldgringo]

I am also one who believes that Thomas Hearns would beat pretty much every other welterweight throughout history (besides Robinson and Leonard of course). I wish they could have done a rematch at 147 because Hearns learned a lot from that fight and undoubtedly would have come back stronger (like he did in that second fight that he should have won). Hearns was an animal at 147 and 154.
