Sir..have you poured through books about boxing history?


Have you observed film of everyone from Jack Johnson through present day?Have you read/heard what keen observers have said ...those who saw fighters from the 40's through the 70's...live? Those who cover it for a living and have done the same fine work I have?



The name Ray Robinson keeps coming up from all of them.

He was the very best out of an era in which the demands of can't be even closely matched by more modern day boxing since the 60's.

Clearly one of the best of all time. Sweet Pea was the best of his generation and one of the great boxers of all time as well.

No.
And it was.

Whitaker got ripped off.
He won the fight.

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.
