Dick Tiger vs Randy Turpin

Yeah he was monster strength wise.
He supposedly said to George Gainford ; "if he can fight only a little bit I'm in trouble"
The pics I've seen of RAT and Robinson at the weigh-ins I'm convinced he pumped himself up beforehand doing press ups.
Despite all the smiles, he knew what he was doing.
He enjoyed his days as a wrestler, where he was happy and enjoyed socialising with them.

 

Robinson said the same thing in his autobiography, claiming that he was so exhausted on the day of the weigh-in (due to not being able to get to sleep until late because he had been staying above a pub before the fight) that, after being impressed by Turpin's physique, he would be in trouble if Turpin could even box just a little bit.

Robinson is the GOAT but he's not being very gracious in claiming that a boxer of his incredible talent was at such a disadvantage that he could be in trouble against someone mainly because his opponent looked strong.

If Robinson couldn't get to sleep until, say, 3 hours later than usual then all he had to do was to get up 3 hours later and train later in the day.

The fight was taking place in the evening so he didn't need to be up at the crack of dawn.

Robinson goes some way to redeeming himself later when he mentioned that, in preparation for the rematch, everybody in his camp was taking Turpin seriously because he had shown Robinson 'plenty' in the first fight.

 

Robinson complaining about being able to sleep is age old excuse.
Where it falls down is that the pub had no jukebox.
Just like the stories of Randy being baited by honey traps in the States1, they're spurious.
