Was fun in the beggining, but Sheika floored Johnson after getting beat up for a few rounds, and Glenn completely stopped fighting afterward

Razor Ruddock was a bit of a mover and jabber in his early days

I do think Robinson has benefited from his welterweight videos not existing, and the middleweight fight being rare for so long.

Now that I look him from the film, he does not look like an astonishing fighter, not compared to Leonard, Whitake, Roy or Floyd.

He is fast but not supremely fast, he clinches much more than the legends of him would suggest and he can be hit. His technique is obviously great, but imo, and I'm sure many will disagree, not in another level compared to Hagler or Hopkins.

What can't be denied is his miraculous stamina (the amount of fights and stopped only against Maxim) and that he had plenty of one-punch power. Outside of the stamina, which is a 10, I'd rank him as 8/10 or 9/10 in pretty much everything.

The Robinson of legends and mental images is 10/10 in every aspect and that obviously isn't true. He might still be TBE, but I do agree that there are two versions of him, the real and the imaginary ones

Yep, what striked me the most with robinson was how often he clinched. Sure it was a different game back then, but still was surprising for me.
