    Ray Robinson seemed to hold a high opinion of his contemporary (they were born the same year, both born in 1921). Robinson was of the opinion that Charles was underrated as a fighter.

    You seem to hear an awful lot of things. How about putting up a reputable source for once.

    Would have liked to see him at 175 before his tragic fight with Baroudi. They say that alter his style as a boxer. Maybe like Camacho but for a different reason.
