There have been quite a few posts recently analysing SRR and his record. I decided to have a more detailed look at his record, specifically at his middleweight years. There are three distinct periods in Robinson's middleweight career: 1. The pre-title years: these run from 1942 to 1950 (when he is principally thought of as a WW) and start from his first official MW contest, his first fight against Jake LaMotta up until his final fight of 1950. 2. The title years: these run from his MW title fight against LaMotta on Feb 14, 1951 up to 1958 and his second fight with Carmen Basilio. 3. The post-title years: these run from December 1959 and his fight with Bob Young, when he had been stripped of official recognition of the NBA middleweight title after a 20-month layoff through all his fights in the 1960s and up to his final fight against Joey Archer in November 1965. The breakdown is below. Fights total: 133 Wins: 107 (63 KOs) - Losses: 18 - Draws: 6 - No contests: 2 Pre-title middleweight record (1942-1950): 57 fights: W54 (33 KOs) - L1 - D2 Middleweight record during title years (1951-1958): 25 fights: W21 (13 KOs) - L4 - NC1 Post-title middleweight record (1959-1965): 47 fights: W32 (17 KOs) L13 - D4 - NC1
