I never thought too much of Robinson. Never had a real punch, and was too defensive. Used to just cover up like a turtle and absorb punches, which was his downfall. He was a bit of a Jim Braddock in the way he rose to stardom.

This would be embarrassing; Naseem never learnt to box & just relied on power & athleticism.

Willie Pep would take him to school & pick him up in the afternoon again!!!!! :o

Not so.

He had fairly impressive performances against Tom Johnson, Wilfredo Vazquez, Billy Hardy , Wayne McCullough, Paul Ingle and Vuyani Bungu.

Those fights happened after he fought Robinson and all of said fighters were of a higer class than Robinson.
Maybe you should do a little research if you aren’t old enough to remember the boxers you have put down as the bones to your argument.

Come back when you have and I will accept your apology. :TU: :lol: :lol:

???Why do people bother??? :lol: :lol: :TU:

Pep would win every second of every minute of every round against Prince Naz and Saddler would have stretched out Naz for a count of fifty.
