probably responsible for the prePr<
vidusly .mention action.
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

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,
