Watching Sugar Ray is like watching a movie about a man just a bit too great to be believed. It's so easy to overlook how impossibly fast he really is. Those long looping hooks he throws would get any other fighter blasted out of his shoes on a counter, but he was so fast they landed like he was throwing distancing jabs. No one could keep pace with him in his prime, none of the fastest fighters in history, none of the greatest in any other division. An extraordinary talent born into a generation full of legends. A tragedy only the men who were in those arenas will have seen the greatest the boxing world will ever produce.

Being someone who helped train Mike Tyson with Cus D'amato back in the 80s, as well as a lifelong boxing historian, I've always opined that Sugar Ray Robinson POUND-PER-POUND is the best boxer of any weight class of all time that I have ever seen. No flaws. Offensively SUPER, SUPER aggressive -like a rabid bull- but his fury was controlled: Landed punches perfectly with passion, purpose, and conviction. Always punching, never stagnant like so many 'modern' boxers of all weight classes these days: So many of them are hesitant and not very confident -which is manifest in them not 'letting their fists fly' except in scattered moments here and there, for fear of getting hit and/or not having the gall and confidence of landing punches without being counterpunched. Sugar Ray had the entire arsenal and package: All the punches and threw them fast and with speed. Great, great footwork. He can be summed up as artistic controlled fury like no other boxer ever. His all-around defense at evading punches was great and he had a great chin. Probably the only PERFECT boxer ever...that had all the skills and above all else -like Bruce Lee- an aura, a controlled fury that was awesome to behold...

SRR defeated 11 different true world champions (original 8 weight divisions) a total of 23 times and defeated another 38 different boxers who beat a champion at least once a total of 48 times. That's 71 wins vs championship caliber opponents which is more wins than the following great fighters each have for their entire careers: Marciano, Hagler, Ali, Dempsey, Ray Leonard, F. Mayweather and Louis. SRR also had more KOs (108) than Hagler & Louis had combined. Needless to say, just these facts alone are enough to place SRR at the top of all-time boxing.

Long legs and arms, going backwards jabbing, circling. If an opponent came too close he could fight from middle distance and close quarters with hooks and uppercuts. He often went low and then high with quick feet and hands. Master at distance and timing, great balance and rythm.

All of this footage is from Sugar Ray at his peak, in the 50s-when he was a middleweight. However, there is no footage of him from the 40s, when he was welterweight champion.

I doubt if he was at his peak.His peak was probably at welterweight.So we've never really seen him at his peak.There is no footage.For instance Sugar Leonard and Tommy Hearns were at their peak as welterweights.Roberto Duran at his peak as a lightweight.Alexis Arguello as a featherweight and so on.These boxers all moved up in weight and were still great but were at their absolute best at the lighter weights.The same is true of Sugar Ray Robinson I believe.

He was at his greatest at his natural weight which was welter, but still the greatest middleweight as well. I have watched everything on Ray and owned doco's of the great fighter, but unfortunately he beat his wife, sad but true. He tried to make up for his mistakes when setting up a school of sorts for children, unfortunately he passed from a heart attack when making amends 👍

I think he had an enjoyable life after his ring days for the most part. I believe he worked with youth programs at a community center in LA. He was also paid to attend fights and always got good seats and an introduction. He probably did go through just about all of his earnings but he lived a BIG life. Joe Louis is the guy I think about when it comes to bottoming out but then Coke fucks everyone up!!!

He avoided Charley Burley they never mention it in documentaries like this. Only in more purists/hard-core ones. Like how Jack Johnson avoided Sam Langford and wouldn't give him a shot at the HW title. Burley was a beast and is considered the uncrowned P4P king due to it. You probably may have or not heard of him. But, you'll be blown away by his style and accomplishments. As to why SRR avoided him. Still love Ray Robinson, but more impressed by Burley. He's like lost to time to the boxing world. Only known by boxing historians, purists and such mainly.

When Sugar Ray had to speak with a couple of priests because of a dream he had prior to the fight, that his opponent died in the ring (RIP Jimmy Doyle). The priests confirmed it was only 'just a dream' and to let the fight happen. Sugar Ray wins the fight after knocking out his opponent where his opponent then died in the ring 😔 If that does not speak volumes of Sugar Ray's instinct as a fighter,
