I'm sick of all the Robinson praise!

Quittin against Maxim 'coz he gave away weight on a stinking hot night.. SHEESSSH!!!

SRR was just seeking attention...

The brilliant Ketchel would have eaten him up too!!

 

....and he often parted his hair. What a FRAUD!!!!!

 

.... and there it is. The finisher.

 

I'm getting tired of it myself, but not because he sometimes had a lazy jab. I'm tired of the people who throw him into every thread about a fighter that did something good. Some people make it seem as though he was P4P the greatest in every single aspect of fighting.

 

Oh, I don't know. Mrs. Robinson was a pretty sexy broad.

"Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, Heaven holds a place
for those who pray..."

 

I get sick of it too. Too many parrot what they hear and read, happily wafting in the **** fumes and then later trying to justify them as rose-scented.

No question about SRR's greatness and standing in the sport...but like any fighter he looked bad at times. It gets tiresome..the whole "he could do no wrong" shtick.

 

I fully agree.

 

I'm quite sure, mot active fighters today would settle for 50% of Robinson's ring skills!

 

That's not what we are discussing.

 

He jabbed lazily as did Archie Moore-Charlie Burley-Jose Napoles in order to make himself appear an inviting target...then BOOM!!

If you knew how to evaluate an A.T.G. you wouldn't mistake it for anything else!

 

Robinson lost me my job, stole my wife and made me crash my car, *******.

 

I guess if some folks can't fire a few feeble jabs at
the ability of the super great Sugar Ray Robinson,
it would take the fantasy and fun out of boxing forums
where everyone gets to play the wise guy or the stooge.

Ali raised the bar of Sugar Ray Robinson
when he said:
"Some say the greatest is Sugar Ray, but
they have yet to see Cassius Clay.":happybbb

 

Ray ducked Burley like Edna Mae should've ducked his punches.

 

And ....... he even lost some fights, load of rubbish
