    THERE'S DA MAN!!!! Gotta new nickname for him: "The Heat Seeking Missle!"
    Let that bad a s s have been born later and hit prime in the 80's and you'd be carrying out ATG's or semi-ATG's on a gurney.
    131-1-1 after the St. Valentine massacre, avenging that loss 4 times, and KO'ing Basora in the rematch...fighting once a month (or more) for 12 frigging years. Charisma! Bigoted cops bowing at his feet!
    Numero Uno! There simply isn't a doubt in my mind!!!

    Pity Larry Holmes couldn't have used that software on his personality.

    Bit of trivia for you.....Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis at one time were neighbors in Detroit. They lived a few houses apart from one another. Robinson credited Louis with making him first interested in boxing.

    Amazing what technology can do. If i didnt know better id think this was some new propsect.

    With the photo in color, its obvious why he was so powerful and athletic. Very developed chest and arm muscles, all natural.

    ‘Obvious why he was so powerful and athletic? Very developed chest and arm muscles?’

    cmon, don’t exaggerate. I know people here like to fawn uncontrollably about Robinson like he was the second coming but that pic just shows a normal athletic healthy young man still showing signs of his youthfulness and yet to fully develop into his physical peak.

    People here need to get more of a grip on reality when it comes to Robinson.
