    Since I know you’re a brit, ferguson, here’s a few British bums that somehow won a light heavyweight title that Robinson would easily beat

    Dennis Andries
    Clinton Woods
    Nathan Cleverly

    I'd say Robinson would be confident at light heavy, fighting NOT, in 104 degrees, at upsetting the apple cart here.

    Andries reigned on and off for 3years. That's not a bad achievement. Woods hung around for three years and 4 defense s. Not exactly bum of the month..

    The LHW version of Tommy Hearns. Possibly Walker, too.

    With all respect to Freddie, I can see Robbo stooping him.

    Plenty. He handled Maxim for his lack of power I assume Robinson could out-slick a ton of LHWs who aren’t too powerful or cagey. Even then I’m not sure If he would have to worry too much he had arguably the P4P greatest chin ever to go along with many, many gifts.

    Anyone who is lucky enough to be in there when the man is having heat stroke.. One thing Robinson wouldnt permit were boos when he was fighting. That night he had to fight for himself and for Maxim. First origins of compubox that night had the referee landing more punches than Joey. Ref couldn't make it past 10

    It was interesting that even after there was clearly something wrong with Ray the last 2 rounds Maxim didn't really open up. He hardly landed anything on a dying man. That kills the argument that Joey was a master strategist.
