    Totally disagree. Robinson rematched Turpin just 2 months later and beat him. Louis rematched Schmeling 2 years later. Totally different scenario. Robinson was pretty much the finished package whilst Louis was definitely progress in the works. Robinson had already won over 120 fights, he had no glaring technical deficiencies.

    I'll give that Turpin may have been an awkward fight for Robinson stylistically.

    Turpin was not just awkward for Robinson stylisticaly. His trainer Soldier Bartfield devised a plan to exploit Robinsons style and tag him consistently.

    That is why I compare it to the first Louis Schmeling fight.
