No.
And it was.

Whitaker got ripped off.
He won the fight.

Glad to see someone appreciates
defensive prowess in boxers. He
was impossible to hit. A joy to
watch someone with such quick
reactions and so smart.

He is underappreciated because
he was not a knockout artist.

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.

ripped off doesnt begin to describe it. He outboxed Julio that entire fight. One of the bigger disgraces in boxing history was calling that bout a draw.

Totally won the fight.

One of the reasons
boxing can be absolutely
disgusting.

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.
