Ray Robinson to Seek Middle
Weight Crown at All Costs
Ray (Sugar) Robinson's recent
announcement that he is ready to
give up his welterweight cham
pion to fight in an elimination
tournament for the middleweight
championship ofthe world means
that he is ready to seek the 100
pound title at all cost.
His announcement is based on
onthe threat that the New York
Athletic commission will relieve
Jake LaMotta of his middleweight
title if he does not defend it in
three months.
This is an about because may
be the MIA National Boxing as
sociation) may not relieve La
Motta of his rarely-defended
crown. Then Robinson could con-
ceivably give up his MIA crown
just for the New York version
of the heavier title. Thus he
would be giving up his world-re-
~cognized title for a disputed
crown.
If the New York commission
does vacate the LaMotta crown
on Feb. / as it threatens to do
the following may happen:
Robinson would give up his
welterweight championship and
win the New York middleweight
title. He could then conceivably
be the worlds welterweight cham
pion and New York's middle
weight king. This of course would
also develop a new New York
version 147-pound titlist.
Robinson could just give up his
title and win nothing or merely
be recognized by New York if
he wins the middleweight crown.
This event, however, could bring
about a clamor from the fans for
a sixth Robinson-La-Mott fight
to settle the whole mess.
If hearsay and reports are cor
rect, it is this oclumn't belief that
Robinson would win the crown,
possibly fight n more opponent
such as Rocky Graziano or Char
ley Fusari - who would draw a
80
big gate, then retire. It he loses
he probably will retire anyway.
Bratton-W Williams Bout Takes on
New Importance
With the possible retiring from
the welterweight scent of Ray
Robinson, the non-title scrap be-
tween Johnny Bratton and light
weight champion Ike Williams
takes on new Importance.
Ike long has coveted the larger
division but apparently had judg-
ed correctly that a lightweight
title in hand is worth more than
q fight with Ray oRbinson in the
bush.

ture Ike stands a good chance of
becoming welterweight champion.
He holds one victory over Kid
Gavilan, the chief lat pound chal-
lenger, in three bouts. One Of
Gavilan's victories was very mar
row, and the second was made
over a Williams who had an eye
towards a championship fight a
month away.
If Ike should get by Bratton
he would be a cinch for top rating
in case of a welterweight meet.
There is a likelihood that he
would defeat Gavilan in another
return bout.
Bratton, however, may prove
to be too tough for Ike. He al
ways had theability, but never has
done his best inthe ring. He has
lost twice to Ike, but since then
he has grown into a "heavy" well
terweight. His former manager,
Howard Frazier, said he would
never see lat pounds again. For
his Jan. 20 bout with Williams he
will have to make this weight.
What he does in this bout will
determine his future and also
the financial future of the Inter-
national Boxing club in Chicago.
A healthy victory would put
him in line as an attractive Chi
cago stadium headliner and also
for fights with such men as Ber-
nard Docusen and Charley Fusa-
ri. At his best Bratton should
whip Ike Williams. Ike is very
good, but Bratton has grown to
big and too strong for him.
Ringside Scratch Pad
George (Sugar)C ostner, who
meets Ray Robinson in a nontitle
bout next month, produced a very
effective and convincing victory
over Gene Burton two weeks ago.
If he is as good as he looked he
should give the champion a good
fight.
Robinson is the man who spoil
ed Costner's original start during
the war years after the latter had
complied a startling kayo record
in Chicago. Ray finished him in
one round.
Willie Pep may defined his
featherweight title in st. Louis,
Louis, but not against the man
everyone wants to see him fight,
Sandy Saddled. He will meet
Charlie Riley, a good man, but
not a Saddled 49,.
Reports in Chicago papers that
Battling Nelson, the man who
ended Joe Cans reign as light
weight champion at the turn of
the century, is about to lose his
| job and will be broke once more
demonstrates that fighters need
some kind of insurance or social
security or pension Or whatever
