Maybe it was just down when I was trying to log on. Be nice if someone does a Detroit version! But check it out it is worth the time.

Ray Robinson was born in Detroit.

He's the greatest fighter of all time.

Well, he definately had Detroit blood in his veins. Hells Kitchen must have warmed it up quite a bit too...

Yeah, Robinson was very close to Louis from his amateur days... he was like Joes protegee. He talks about Louis a lot in his biography.

Robinson used to walk around on his hands to strengthen his arms. Archie Moore used to do the same thing apparently.
