    Happy Birthday Goat.

    It's also my sister's birthday; she beat me up when we were kids, coincidence?

    I just got off worming across k and will now be looking for some of Robinson's old fights to watch tonight. I've had some trouble coming across fight films though.

    Check out the baltazarbrothers or TheGreatA's YouTube channels. They've got some full fights. The thing with Ray as everyone knows is that 95% of the material out there is Middleweight footage. He was a God there too and fought some great fighters, but it wasn't him at his 147 peak. Really sucks the two Kid Gavilan battles aren't available.

    The nickname Sugar should be retired.

    Resume is one thing, Ability is another. With SRR, we have the outright evidence and it's going to influence opinions. Much of it (if any at all) isn't even him at his peak. I'd bet my ****in life Greb and Langford (who are my No. 3 & 4 FOR the resume depth) do not look as great as Robinson on film. Hell, who does? He'd ripple through anybody's era. This isn't Bill Russell, great for his time. Any Time. :deal
