The Brockton, Mass., knockout artist is the sixth recfpF ent to come from the heavyweight ranks, the others being Louis, Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling, Jack Sharkey and Ezzard Charles.

Ring magazine pointed out that the fighter of the year "must present something more than a title, a lot more than a ring record of formidable proportions.” The contender "must be not only top flight as a technician, but he must present an out-of-the-ring reputation unsmirched by social conduct or questionable fistic operations,” Robinson, who at 35 came back to kayo Olson and become middleweight king for a record third time, finished a close second in the balloting. Basilio, who won f the . welter crown by knocking out De Marco In the 12th round in June and kept it by repeating the feat in November, finished third.
