    I get a kick out of reading the excuses for Ray Robinson's losses. He was old, He just had a exbition that lasted 2 rounds. He had a hang nail, The sun was in his eyes. he had the wrong shoes, he had the wrong socks. The list goes on, but I have better things to do. The fact of the matter is that Robinson brought his B game to an A game fight.

    Hed had become a hard partier as well as fought to many killer middleweights when only a welterweight.
