HoWever, if these are the real IT*' reasons, how does the Ring exPa pi ain its failure to rate former lib welterweight and middleweight cat champion Ray Robinson over the tor champions w h o gave him the cei blank stfare when Ray was camtio; paigning for title honors? ul 1 think editor Fleischer will aiir srre6 that Ray mroved beyond r doubtthat he was superior to the aul then^fpli^pions division. ?? In fkct, for years, Robinson was approprfately called the nncrown' ed King irf tne welters, and when etti he signed'* to meet middleweight Tu champion Jake LaMotta, it was a foregone conclusion that R a y * would defeat Jake. r?> Ifas Da.silio?built -up?such ar reputation? Of course not. Then tmf the extra Ordinary action-? ? In his prime, Robinson .was considered t h ? greatest '-fighter iCI ' * pourid-fbr'pound ,ibia time, -putI as far as I know, no oao went out of bis way Ui obi a : * chaivinion^ shifj'nrtach-for him. j ' arA rttrt-saying that the Ringi| did not support Ray. It iccogni'/.-l e;l him and gave him full credit 112 for. his ability. But as far as 1 caa "remember, Robinson, while/ a * contendey. was iuwmL rated nhnve .3 the ljjffaer r>f Fred Cochrane' and_ ,c MartyServe, the then welter-1 's weight champions. m( It is not that the Ringside fa-i 1 * voi* Saxton, In fact this ringsiderj is already on record for criticiz- ! 'm ing^ehony's hit-and gj^ab-tactics. j 3 ' For example, in an article entitl- . 01 ed ,fA 'Champion Without Glory," ! written shortly after the Saxton- ! Gavilan stinkaree, this writer ad- : c vised Saxton to cut out the wrest- . y ling if he hopes to win wholesale public acceptance. The Ringside, feels, .however, ? that out of. simple respect for ,rP Saxton as the recognized welter- J it weight champion, Ring should not have rated him behind his No. 1 '^contender,' under any" circiimstaneY ces. Aftsr all, Saxton did win a T0 controversial (Jec'sion over Gavi --- i^isiuu was nuv ' able to (Jo, despite the fact that aI he had the diet-weakened cham>y piop on the deck during theii^P l)but. J? > It is not that t.he Ringside does lU1 not fecognize B&silio as a good ,eV fiKhter. Carmen is rough, tough n? twofisted battler, capable of testul jng any welterweights and some of the middleWeights, *et _ IflpMycr, in this writer's ^opinal^ion^Jfe .has done nothing to warth*^.
