Ivan Robinson recalls his famous fights vs Arturo Gatti

[Bennyleonard99]

Alimkhanuly is the best and everybody knows it. The big names are running away, just like they did from Golovkin and also how Yeleussinov. The Eastern Euros are just too good for their own good. Sad how they are being discriminated and ducked for being too good....

Lennox also exited the sport with everything intact and as a winner. Though some think he ducked the Vitali rematch and walked away from $25m plus. But Lennox probably felt he couldn't beat Vitali a second time and hung em up. I don't even remember Super Joe's final fight or how he retired. Ward wasnt...

Yes of course Tyson is a high school drop out and is basically uneducated. But he found his purpose in life, helped by Cus, and it was to be world heavyweight champion. Which by the way is the hardest title to win in all of sports. It is the richest prize in sports. With a goal and purpose, Tyson applied...

Manny Pacquiao is probably the greatest champion in boxing history. 8 world titles in 8 division will never be repeated. On top of that he had the most exciting style we ever saw, part Tyson, part Duran, part Hagler, part SRL, part Inoue. He fought to thrill, not to steal fans money like WWFweather....

Fury is the biggest waste of talent in heavyweight history. He had the skills, size, reach, moves, smarts, mindset to be the goat. He showed it how he totally dominated Klitschko in the ring and also in the pre fight mind games. If Fury had the dedication and discipline of Novak Djokovic, Bernard Hopkins,...

Nothing. We know Pac is long done and this is just a bonus payday for his legendary name and career. Just like nobody remembers old Duran vs Joppy or Louis vs Marciano or Tyson vs McBride. Or nobody should remember those disasters, win lose or draw....

It's always cool to read about details of memorable big fights we watched. Ivan Mighty Robinson was cool enough to share these insights about his HBO wars with the late great Arturo Thunder Gatti. For those who may not know, Robinson was one of those ultra talented boxers without a KO punch. A film...

The last true face hero of boxing was Manny Pacquiao but the crooked establishment scrooed him over in favor of the black American fraud Mayweather. Pacquaio was the real star, the electric thriller who came to excite fans and give them their money's worth. Floyd came to steal from the public and give...

Boxing has fallen so far in culture popularity and has a negative stigma after Mayweather's disgraceful era and Canelo's is also lousy because he's basically a protected WWF pretender. The public doesn't trust boxing or respect it anymore. Just a small niche of a dwindling hardcore base. I can't imagine...

Hearn did everything he could until he realized Haymon FInkel were just faking it. You got fooled by the Haymon Finkel Wilder fraudsters who ducked their way out of $100m payday vs AJ. Today team Wilder still have no desire to try to fight AJ because they know it's a guaranteed KO loss....

[Bennyleonard99]

If only Wilder, Haymon and Finkel had half your confidence....

We always hear Mike's side of the story with Cus and it's emotional to see how much Mike adores Cus and the gratitude he has for Cus. Mike broke down in tears talking about Cus in the film version of Undisputed Truth. Mike must have always had the seeds of genius in him and Cus somehow saw it and developed...

What many do not realize is AJ would have slaughtered Wilder easily at any time, ten years ago and today, same result, easy brutal one sided KO win for AJ. So bad that it would be career and leverage ending for Wilder, like Spinks vs. Tyson in 1988. Spinks wanted to comeback after that KO 1 loss to...

[Bennyleonard99]

Well they thought Fury was shot and on drugs and too fat to be able to beat Wilder. The risk was worth it, with Fury's titles Wilder could make $100m a fight and keep fighting PBC patsies. There is no doubt WIlder/Haymon/Finkel were going to duck AJ forever and freeze him out, calling him a bum, etc....

[Bennyleonard99]

Wilder got the belt because Haymon and Finkel bought it from King/Stiverne. Wilder's first defense was against a King fighter Molina. At the press conference for Wilder vs Molina, King actually said Stiverne transferred the title to Wilder! Play on words to reveal it was a business deal. King and Molina...

[Bennyleonard99]

Wilder was kept and protected in house in the PBC. Whenever he was pulled out of protective custody of PBC Haymon and Finkel found ways to escape - Povetkin, Whyte, AJ. The only reason they did fight Fury was they miscalculated that Fatso was addicted to drugs and too far out of shape to be able to...

[Bennyleonard99]

That was the handiwork of Haymon and Finkel, protecting their pretender....

[Bennyleonard99]

I think Wilder was awful. His defining moments were ducking AJ for years, fake negotiations with AJ, pretending he wanted to fight Usyk after the fact, ducking his mandatory for two years with WBC corruption Whyte, ducking Povetkin, and his performance vs a 41 year old from China lol...

[Bennyleonard99]

He was pretty reliable and consistent as Evander Holyfield but "Evan Fields" was another story )...

[Bennyleonard99]

If you watch the first LL-EH fight closely it looked like Holyfield boxed careful and didn't try anything bold or aggressive - because he KNEW King has the judges in his pocket and he would get a draw at worst to keep his titles. Where was the usually brave bold Commander Vander who attacked Tyson...
