    So, can't even beat Castillo but he can beat Robinson and LaMotta?

    I agree with some of this but Robinson really didn't start losing many until many years into his career. Thru his first 132 pro fights (1940-1951) he went 128-1-2 1NC overall and 10-0 in World Title Fights at WW and MW. He had fought from 135-160 Lbs. during this time. He had already had about 50 fights at MW... he could handle the weight just fine, even during his prime.

    Some people act like he didn't start fighting MWs until the 50's... not true!

    Anyway the only loss thru the first 10 1/2 years of his career was to Jake Lamotta in 1943. He weighed 144 1/2 and Lamotta 160 1/2. He went 5-1 (1) vs. Lamotta lifetime.
