Taeth, I make you right, Show me a great fighter Ill show you a great Promoter who got him there and a better matchmaker. Promoters big ones have an in with the press, they look after the press the press look after them if not the press get there passes revoked simple. In the good old days if you didnt play straight with the mob you had a problem. There was no TV so if you were out of town youd read the account of the fight through the press reports which were the report the promoters wanted the masses to read. If you ask a Boxing fan today about, Eddie Booker, Jack Chase,Bert Lytell Charly Burley, LIoyd Marshall , Aaron Tiger Wade They wouldnt have a clue. Probably they would have heard of Marshall in Britain because he KOd Freddy Mills in a round but he is the only one With Holman Williams They boxed each other to put bread on the table While Robinson Boxed stiffs. Yes Robinson was a great fighter but had an easier path and was connected.
