Most of these old timers have poor K.O ratios which is strange given the fact they fought in 6oz gloves...
They had rubbish power due to poor balance & bad technique. A buildings only as strong as its foundation. Look at Sugar Rays right hook for Christ sake, what is the first thing that came to mind? I know I instantly tried ducking it thinking my missus was about to slap me with her handbag.
It wasn't until the 60s they discovered finishing up a combination with a left hook ffs
Comparing these pioneers to todays fighters is like comparing a 1920s Morris to a Ferrari of today.

Oh and don't forget folks, he won so this means Sugar Ray was passed his prime lolDoes anyone argue that the Lamotta loss was Ray past his prime? No, so that excuse goes out of the window. Again how many fights over 100 was He against Turpin? This isn't to say that Robinson wasn't still good, just not at his best.
Robinsons resume is almost laughable. The only thing remotely impressive the guy did was beat a faded Henry Armstrong
Robinson's Resume features at least 5 hall of famers not including AArmstrong.Last edited by res; 08-29-2012, 12:52 PM.
