I just joined this forum as the sports forums I belong to just didn't have much interest in Boxing. After Margarito vs. Cotto two great fighters I wanted to hear more from boxing fans. When I was a kid my dad was a good friend of Abe Green the Boxing Commissioner and we got tickets to the Basilio Robinson fight at Yankee Stadium in the late 50's. They had 3 fight and either could have been scored the winner in each fight. Robinson in my opinion was the greatest fighter of all time but he was in the twilight of his career against Basilio who was as tough as they come. In the fight I saw 15 rds. neither fighter went down, both gave there all Basilio won a split decision.
Ray Robinson I think was 130-1 thru his first 131 fights and even at 36 or 37 was a fighter of championship caliber. I think the magic of Robinson for me was that he look so regal in the ring, great posture, classic style a boxer with a knockout punch.Comment
