    yeah i felt really bad for him in the naz fight, it was brutal to watch, i think the nas that turned up to the robinson fight was probably the best nas we'll ever see speed/power/reflexes all on display in that fight.

    LOL, I have learnt, you got to give it at least a ;), if you want to be ironic/sarcastic...

    Otherwise people just presume, you are a bit dim, what with Robinson being Welsh, and a hardworking glorified journeyman. who's lack of natural ability was made up with an incredible drive/work rate...

    No chance. He had a decent run of form against the odds but is known for being terrorised by Hamed more than anything.

    Would he beat Stephen Smith very easily? Yes.

    No, Robinson was far too one dimensional to stand a chance.

    What Robinson did with what he had was amazing, but he is not going to beat JMM, primed or not.

    Yeh he was.

    Loved his slick black style, apparently he learned it on the rough streets of Milton Keynes.
