Sugar Ray Robinson vs Tony Zale with a catch

what is this bull****

 

How good Robinson must've been? Look at this thread.

 

Hi Buddy.
You are new here and it's good for the forum to have new members with fresh thoughts and insights into fights and fighters, so let's hope that prevails, during your time here you will see all kinds of matchup's, some will energise you to get involved, some will leave you uninterested, as the posts and topica do with all the group, @InMemoryofJakeLamotta has been a member for 8 years or so, and in my short time on the site he has posted some of the best and most informative post I have read, he knows his stuff, and should you stay the course this will become apparent, so to use the word " bull**** " in reply to his most recent, is frankly, disrespectful and obnoxious, he did what many have done before, mix up weights and fighters, the forum is full of such, it's not what you called it, mind you I have seen such comments and remarks, but I would never use your language to describe such, of course there is free speech here, as there should be, but let's try to keep our conversations civil, and give one and all our members the respect,they deserve, this is meant as a polite steer, you are free to ignore, and dismiss, that is your prerogative, that said I have enjoyed your contributions thus far, and look forward to plenty more.
stay safe Mandela, chat soon buddy.

 

It's insane that he actually did fight world class mws while weighing @ or near the ww limit himself. 10 or more lbs is a huge deficit for a 147 lb fighter to concede.

 

This bull**** is what Robinson had to deal with on a regular

 

my most sincere apologies

 

Hi Buddy.
Accepted, and thanks, look forward to many more posts from your good self.
stay safe, chat soon.

 

Robinson's skill level and dynamic athleticism would
still be enough for him to beat Zale , even if he came
in at welterweight.
Possibly he'd do better than expected, because Zale
though a tremendous puncher , and aggressive, wasn't the
type to crowd his opponent, like say Lamotta was .
He needed room to generate his tremendous power.
Conversely, that would give Robinson the room
he needed to beat him.
