Mayweather and Pac amongst the last golden era at 147

[and the NEW]

gravytrain Wrote:not very many guys have fought as much as Robinson and LaMotta. i think it's because Robinson was on a big win streak and LaMotta had a win over him so people wanted to see him lose, that and they were 2 of the most popular guys back then so it's a big money fight. reminds me of when Carmen Basilio said "i'd a lot of tough fights, my manager wasn't scared of nobody"

Na, many guys have fought as much as Robinson and LaMotta.

In the old days when black fighters weren't given shots, a lot of top quality ones got stuck fighting eachother over and over again. One example is Holman Williams vs Charley Burley who also fought 7 times I believe.
