ALSO, GRAZIANO NEVER FOUGHT SUGARRAY ROBINSON. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?
According to Sports Century on ESPN Graziano was asked by a reporter if he would ever fight Lamotta and he said "No, we're good friends."
Then the reporter said something like "Well thats funny, cus we just asked Jake and he said When and How much?" Teddy Atlas put his two cents in and said that Graziano would have been chewed up like an Italian piece of candy.
As for Robinson, well he DID fight Sugar Ray, put him on his ass too. Then Sugar Ray got pissed off, got up and within a round or two knocked the shat outta Graziano and stopped him.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
