    LOL What he said...

    Plus, if I show a 10 yr old kid a Floyd fight and and Sugar Ray fight, pick the one he's going to fall asleep in. LOL...and Im not being facetious.

      I'd say he was the most complete fighter of his time and from 154 down, there isn't a single fighter that stood a chance of beating him. He didn't accomplish nearly as much as he could have, but he was still one of the most skilled fighters to ever step into the squared circle.

              If I wanted my kids to learn that I'd have them watch footage of Robinson.

                Robinson was very flawed in the ring...

                he throws wide at times...and waste punches...

                Floyd does neither.

                If I want to show my kids how to play basketball in 2009 would I show them a tape of Kobe Bryant or Bob Cousy?

                  Robinson flawed LMAO. That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard on this forum. Hell, your kids might actually learn some skills from Cousy as opposed to undisciplined playground ballers like Bryant playing today.

                    I dont know why my kids would ever ask about him.. but if they did I will say he was a good fighter who possibly could have been great if it wasn't for his lack of confidence.
