I bet Robinson almost welcomed his first loss today in 1943

Sean O'Grady's father said he put him in with Little Red Lopez to get him beat so he'd quit worrying about being undefeated.

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.

Took 11 years for his 2nd loss: 128-1-2 This is nothing less than the calibur of a pugilist.

I bet Ray Robinson hated it. I am sure LaMotta out weighted him. It was unfair.

144lber fighting a 160lber. And of course when SRR grew into a MW he murdered him.

Weight was not really a factor in this one. I think that time just came and by all accounts Lamotta out worked him and actually out jabbed him. All the stars aligned.

Robinson had cleaned his clock just 4 months prior. He also beat him again a month after that loss so no excuses. It was simply Lamotta's night. Ray would not lose again until 1951.

Yeah, why would weight have anything to do with a prize fight...

Are you a gimmick account?? Is this for real?

I am sure weight was a factor and maybe complacency.

Quit taking things out of context you idiot. Robinson already beat the guy with ease a year earlier dipshit and then kicked his ass a month after losing to him at the same weight you moron.
