Which Lamotta fight? Do you mean the 6th one? Because Robinson looked pretty damn good and was pretty much in control the whole time. Lamotta got some leverage in the middle rounds, but that was about it.

Robinson made up for his defense with his footspeed and his impressive offense so he didn't get hit clean at will, simlilar to Muhammed Ali. Kid Galivan was a counter puncher and masterfully brilliant and he wasn't able to take advantage of those defensive flaws. Ray knew what he was doing. You should check out his fights at welterweight. He was past his true prime at middleweight but still had great success. This is a short peice from my bible of boxing.
''Sugar Ray was a nasty peice of work outside the ropes, and even nastier inside: Phenomenally fast hands and feet, with the sharpest reflexes, split-second timing, jack hammer power in his left hook and right cross, an ability to end a fight from any angle at any moment, an extremely solid chin, and a huge fighting heart. But he was not flawless. While funementally sound defensively, he was no Willie Pep. Watch the few films of his welterweight fights and you might be suprised at how many punches he absorbed. He did not much like boxers with top-notch jabs and was dropped at least five times prior to winning the word middlweight title a record setting five times, twice by welterweights, including his suprisingly tight title winning bout against bell.''
Robinson was definitely the greatest fighter that ever lived and his resume speaks for itself. He has beaten better fighters than anyone has pound for pound in history.Last edited by slicksouthpaw16; 08-10-2008, 03:20 AM.Comment
