The saddest thing is that all the old boxing heads say that the 1940's version of Robinson was the best, but no tape actually exists. It would be like not seeing any of Ali's fights in the 1960's. Since Roy Jones declined a few years ago, Mayweather is the closest that we will come today to something like them. As far as PPV thing, I couldn't agree more. However, you can usually find a bar that will hold the fight for a $10 or $20 cover charge. That is the route I often take. Jess, I also have some old Robinson tape and he is truly amazing.
