I helped a mediocre fighter do much better then expected. The coddling today is unreal.
Two different eras. Not just Robinsons and this one but O'Grady's and this one lol.

Interesting spin off topic because imo if fighters would jump into the fire a little earlier and face a little adversity we would not be stuck in this afraid to fight world. Omar Chavez is a prime example of it off the top of my head, Ronald Hearns but not just sons of famous fighters.

In Robinsons day that activity level would really play with the head.
