Steve Robinson

McMillan and to a lesser extent Hodkinson were both done when Robinson beat them.

 

Fwank Warren realy screwed over both Robinson and Hamed by making that fight. At the time, Hamed had been made the WBO super-bantam mandatory challenger to none other then a 21-year old Marco Antonio Barrera. Hamed's talents should rightfully have been tested against the young Mexican tipped for greatness on that side of the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, Robinson was probably tough enough and capable enough to have made interesting matchups against the other feather champions of the time, including the then flash, but somewhat fragile Kevin Kelly, as well as people like Tom Johnson and Hodkinsons conqueror, Vargas. He may not have beaten those guys, but he could have put up enough of a show to stay in the world level picture without his dignity beinf trampled all over by the classless Hamed. Instead, Warren decided he had outlived his usefulness and fed him to Naz, triggering the (relative )decline of both their careers.

 

MAB was a Playstation 3 to Hamed's Master System.

 

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeevo!! Great memories of watching Robinson on ITV (HTV) all those years ago. It's great to see people still think fondly of him. Nobody ever has a bad word to say about him in fact. An all round nice guy who got lucky and made the most of it.

 

I'd say an XBOX 360 vs Nintendo 64

Naz had the power, N64 had Mario Kart

But MAB and the XBOX 360 just have more to offer

 

He was a good fighter,his achivemets get ver looked and he has become a bit of a footnote in the Naz story.He beat some good fighters and losing to Naz was no disgrace.As with a lot of fighters he carried on too long.He is one of my favorite British fighters.
