"Robinson knocked down in 4th round. Robinson who was paranoid of elevators walked up and down twelve floors for the weigh-in at the Inquirer Building the day of the fight." On boxrec, a comment for the Giardello fight. What significance does that have? My grandma could walk up 12 flights of stairs, surely a trained up fighter should do it no problems.
If it affected him, there was something wrng with him in the beginning. But funny that a fighter like Robinson was afraid of elevators.
