There certainly were some strange circumstances surrounding this fight. I think it's difficult to say with confidence one way or t'other. If this...
I think Burt, Thistle1, Legend X & Bummy have this one right. Leonard was a great fighter, but Robinson was better in just about every way for me....

I said "some" Ali fans, I don't mean All. I think we are probably cross-posting now mate...I think we should leave it here, other posters may...
