    Saw this from boxingforum24 classic and decided to make a thread on peak SRR here. There's surprisingly a good amount of footage of his WW run.

    Now if only there's a videos of his fights against Armstrong and Gavilan...

    I'd love to see his fights with Servo and Zivic as well.

    Great post man.

    The way Robinson holds his stance, even on all out offense, is beautiful. He has the 'ideal' stance imo, and by that I mean you could teach it to any average Joe, regardless of body shape or height, and it would work for them (although others would work better for specific types, obviously).

    If Robby were around now, I have a feeling Bud would find 267 items in the contract to disagree with.

    It’s just wild to me that no footage of his fights with Gavilan and Bell exists, along with the other 5 Lamotta fights.
