I agree -another great thread. That's Fullmer above. The midget's name was Jimmy Karoubi -he approached Robinson in Paris around 1951 at a nudie lounge and offered to be his interpreter as Karoubi spoke both languages fluently. He was 4'4 and Robinson kind of gave him a home as the tenth member of his entourage. Karoubi was there because he lightened things up and Ray liked having him around.

 

Thanks for the info Stonehands.

 

That one captures Robinson in his element, no mercy, great:good
