179 guys out there will disagree with you...Including a fair amount of HOF fighters
Like Lamotta, or Turpin? or Fulmer, wow what great fighters... they are definitely the fastest, strongest, most technical fighters I've ever seen... not. They were tough, but there were some guys at Welterweight who could box and gave Robinson a hell of a time.

As usual when someone comes up with a good counter point to one of your post you try to throw it off track...where did anyone say noone ever gave Robinson trouble?...Im sorry where was that?.....Stop looking on the post in the thread because no one said that it was just another case of Taeth changing words around to fit what he wants them to....

I think the whole point was you stated that Robinsons hook would be useless against a good jabber...and the reply was 179 (it is actually 173 my mistake)...would disagree...so where does LaMotta or anyone specific come in?...

By the way...I have a 6yr old that says something then follows it up with....Not...so grow up and post again when you don't need your nose wiped and diapers changed
Me grow up? Your the one who flew off the handle lol, I didn't know which part of my comment you said 179 guys disagree with his defence? I brought Lamotta, Turpin, and Fulmer into it because they all hit Robinson pretty easily. Secondly, there was no correlation between me saying throwing those three hooks wouldn't be effective against somebody with good defence and me saying I would like to see how Robinson does against a good jabbing boxer like Leonard. What I was saying is because Robinson didn't really use his hands for defense almost at all I wonder how he would do against somebody like Leonard who used his hands to block shots and he was as quick as Robinson. Also last but not least you didn't read the other part of what I wrote because you lost your temper and didn't bother to read... I said that Robinson's jab, cross and counter left hook, off his opponents jab usually, were his money punches. Maybe you should chill out, I am not trying to just come in and insult you, but your taking this way too personally, and you act like its a sin for people to share their own opinion. If you don't feel like arguing then ignore me or stfu and take it like a man.
