Robbie was my favorite growing up. In his prime there was no one better imo

I agree he was underrated. Very aesthetically pleasing build. One of the best to never win the Olympia. His book is pretty good, the Black Prince.

Agreed about his impact on the sport. When I was growing up I did not realize that I was so close to where he was. I admired him in the old magazines that I spent my allowance on.

"Never heard of?" C'mon, every bodybuilder knows of Robby Robinson!! He's one of the all time greats!!

Most of my demographic (under 30) has probably not heard of him. his peak was before their time

@@FitFlixFitness Maybe, but he's hardly an obscure bodybuilder. But I must admit that even at 62, I still come across bodybuilders from the 80's who have amazing builds, and I've never heard of them!! And I've been a fan since I was 18 - 1979!! Check out a guy called Bill Cambra!! He's amazing!!

Robbie was great, but Zane was dialed in like a statue with that four pack and paper thin skin.

Maybe you forgot about him but he is a bodybuilding legend. Any true fan knows the Black Prince. And he should have beaten Zane in '78 Olympia

Many of my viewers are under the age of 25 and did not grow up with Robbie. I am just trying to get his story out to people who were born after he retired.

It very well could be unfair...but ...the direction in body building has to live on forever or die off ...lol soo things need to be controversial .....the IFBB has to pick a poster boy....just like karate ... picture bruce lee...
