Sounds like something I would read.  Robby Robinson's biography is a surprisingly good read. Bill Pearl's biography is worth every penny.

I saw Robby at his peak at a Night of The Champions in NYC.  In his track suit I thought he looked small. On stage it was a different story. I'm guessing he weighed 210lbs but he was ripped and huge. Just goes to show you that being big with a shirt on is quite different from having your shirt off.
