Who is the next great 'Sugar' in boxing?
In my eyes a 'Sugar' needs to be black (no racist just the facts lol), have crazy speed, great boxing skills/technique and crucially wants to use those skills to hurt their opponents. They also need to take on all competition and not be seen to duck anybody outright...
Is there anybody on the horizon?
stylistically, there were times when the Sugars would be described as highly gifted brawlers as opposed to pure boxers. imo, you could define their styles as more puncher-boxer as opposed to boxer-puncher.
of the 3, mosley was the most physical, leonard the most fluid, and robinson the most explosive. they were all offensive-based fighters who could do it all if needed, but their main task was to put you away. the Sugars were fast, quick-reflexed, brave, tough and determined. each one had more than enough ability to box your ears off, but more often than not, they used their immense talent and athleticism to destroy.
comparisons today: broner, russell jr., and pacquiao come to mind.
Well put :fing02:

You've got the skills and the power NE but word has it you ducked a challenge from Barnburner, he even took pics of himself waiting outside your house...

Great Sugars dont duck the competition.
That's me there, the hair is a little shorter now. I got it like Matthysse's (not even joking), by complete accident.
word is the secret society who hands out the "sugar" moniker approach Canelo and wanted to knight him as the next "sugar" but canelo told them to get the fuck out of here with that silly shit.
Saul 'Molasses' Alvarez has a better ring.

Good shout but i feel like he isnt a good enough brawler. When sh*t went down you know the Sugar Rays and Sugar Shane would get their hands dirty.
Rigo has said that he's not scared to get his hands dirty and he showed us early in the Donaire fight he's willing to trade if his has to. But his philosophy is that that's not boxing. Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. That anyone can throw punches. This was from an interview that was shown to me idk why it was never posted.
