Robinson vs Marciano

Maxim wasn't too easy to flatten.

 

LaMotta himself said 3 times, but his memory might be foggy idk he was old

 

Being ahead on points doesn't mean anything if you lose at the end. Also, Maxim had to deal with the same heat as Robinson, so as much as I like Robinson he lost to the better man.

 

That's not even A=B=C fallacy... That's A=B=C=D=E=F=G fallacy...

 

Nope Robinson did all the leading and moving and was a mile in front, he just succumbed to the heat.Joey got a gift.

 

You've never heard of Rocco Maraschino? Hang your head in shame.

 

Only got knocked out once in his career.

 

I don't think it's totally off base. I've read that SRR made more money than Rocky pursewise from fights. And if money comes into play, certain things tend to happen. Ray had a very slim shot, but if the change was right, he may have taken it. And again, Rocky may encourage it.

 

I don't remember Maxim having an air conditioner in his corner. If Robinson succumbed to the heat he still lost. Moore fought the much younger and bigger Nino Valdez in excruciating heat, but instead of succumbing to his opponent and the heat he used the sun and heat to his advantage. Moore would go to the body and always made sure his back was to the sun, so Valdez had the sun glaring into his face the whole fight and Moore was victorious. Robinson lost fair and square.

 

Yes The Hatchet Man caught him cold I think they fought 3 times? He couldn't replicate the feat.

 

Id like a quid for every time Ive heard that old chest nut.
Anybody disputing Robinson lost fair and square?
Im disputing your statement that Maxim was the better man.He was the heavier man and moving him around took considerably more out of Ray than was expended by the static Maxim.

Do you just argue automatically,you know , just for the sake of it?

 

No I have not...don’t really know much about this Robertson guy either but sounds like he was a solid heavyweight...got so much to learn here....thanks guys
