    Just one long thread of cope. Fighters get the records they deserve.

    Except Maske should be undefeated.

    Hi Buddy.
    Excellent pics, especially Perkins, what a great road warrior he was, and a fine box/puncher to boot,he fought on these shores in 67 against Vic Andretti, a favourite of many in London's east end,in the early to mid 60s, after he retired, like many fighters he was the landlord of a pub, I frequented the establishment many times in my formative years, in fact I met my wife there, yea he has a lot to answer for...
    stay safe FR, chat soon.
    Mike.

    One of the deceptive aspects of Robinson's record is that more than half of his wins were against novices, fighters with losing records, and C-level journeymen no-hopers who were over-matched. At a glance, 174 wins looks impressive until you see the caliber of some of his opponents. In his defense, these were stay-busy fights in between title matches. It was a different time and fighters had to earn a paycheck wherever they could get it. You'll notice the same pattern with Willie Pep's record as well among other fighters with over 100 fights.
