    Picture this: After the Hatton fight Uncle Roger tells PBF, "Take two days off, and then I'll see you back in the gym. We got Cotto in 3 weeks."

    That's the kind of **** Robinson did routinely. PBF ain't qualified to wash his jock.

    I think he's just a tiny bit over rated. I have Ali as G.O.A.T.

    Just out of curiosity, if you dont have him pound for pound #1, who do you have?



    You could make a small case on the provision he is no lower then #2 P4P all time, or the absolute lowest, #3. The two fighters that spring into my head, as rivals for that spot are Henry armstrong or willie pep IMO.




    Having said though, robinson is the logical choice for my P4P #1 spot, as i am sure he is for most people.

    Put it simply?I suppose i should for you simpleton;
    Dont rattle my cage you dense piece of ****.
    The thread is lampooning trolls who get pages of answers from nothing statements.If you think im serious then my own 'exemplified ignorance' still pisses over your lobotomised gibbon brain.Of course SRR was no 1,im satirising dumbass:deal
    I cant stand Floyd either,but i would never adopt your fetish for jerking to any boxing pics to be honest either.Take that info elsewhere.

    I was able to analyze Robinsons footage vs Gene Fullmer & Carmen Basillo and I automatically recognized the fluid movements, shotgun jab, text book right hands and left hooks. What seperates Robinson from a great majority of ATG's was not only his workload, consistancy, competition, tenure and record but it was his overall offensive package mixed in with defensive slips and counters. I think the greatest seperation between SRR and say PBF would be SRR ability to grind in the face of adversity he'd rather lay on the canvas than allow you to set the tone and be the agressor PBF has no quams in this subject he has no problems playing counter puncher and leaving judgement for the officials.

    SRR should be ranked P4P #2 right behind Butterbean

    You really don't have anything to do today, do you? So you start some wild ass thread about one of boxing's greats that is sure to start a small firestorm.

    Using time machines would be unfair to classical fighters.
