He is underappreciated because
he was not a knockout artist.
Yes.....unfortunately Robinson was.




He could do everything.

He is way up near the top.

I say Ali because I dont think
we will ever see a heavyweight as
fast as Robinson and could take
as much punishment as Ali did.

Absolutley beautiful boxer.
I hated his mouth but loved
his style. Best footwork, quickest
jab... the total package.

Pound for pound..Walker Smith IS the top.

Ali could not do everything...he could not take you out with one punch ..with either hand.Unless someone told Sonny Liston to take a dive,


Robinson/Smith could...and did.



That's only a start,too.
