    "Robinson knocked down in 4th round. Robinson who was paranoid of elevators walked up and down twelve floors for the weigh-in at the Inquirer Building the day of the fight."

    On boxrec, a comment for the Giardello fight.

    What significance does that have? My grandma could walk up 12 flights of stairs, surely a trained up fighter should do it no problems.

    I don't think that would have effected him at all.

    If it affected him, there was something wrng with him in the beginning. But funny that a fighter like Robinson was afraid of elevators.
