Sugar Ray Robinson looks very ordinary to me

[Clegg]

You are definitely the dumbest poster i have ran across so far. The most ignorant poster of all time . He had 19 losses to 173 wins you dumb poor excuse of a maggot! He at one time fought 5 times in 4 different countries in one month! No fighter alive can do what hes done. He didnt duck nobody. Out of 198 fights 108 of his opponents were kod. He was Kod 1 time out of 198fights. Floyds couldnt be a pimple on this mans ass crack. You are a complete moron!

I know that this is probably the first thread you've ever read that didn't have something to do with Manny Pacquiao, but surely you've grasped the concept of sarcasm by now?

Robinson has 19 losses! Which great has 19 losses? Mayweather has never lost and he has more titles in more divisions than Robinson.

ATG?

Well now, to be fair he's probably used to seeing posts by Flawless and Horus saying just that and actually meaning it! Knowing Benny as I do I know to take it as sarcasm but I do know there are plenty of posters out there who actually believe that sort of thing.

Not for nothing, but you should try to understand Benny's humor and sarcasm before letting fly with all the name calling. Benny is one of the best posters on this site.

I was about to take the bait as well and tear into Benny for saying such ignorant ****. I understand sarcasm but you have to know the person to "know" whether it's sarcasm or something else.

Well that ruined my post. I was putting together a whole spiel in my head about old time boxers fighting once a month, often times twice a month; not having months between bouts to prepare strategy; not having video of your opponents. Oh well. :-)

That was 19 losses out of 85 Amateur & 202 Pro bouts..
With Floyd's current activety rating, he'd need to fight for another 100 years to get any where near this kind of resume..
Had there been L/welter, L/middle & S/middle divisions back in the day, he'd have undoubtedly snatched those aswell..

He was extra-ordinary to be able to do what he did against Basilio at 38 years of age, regaining the middleweight title for a 5th time. It was not one of his best ever performances because he was aging and never the same after the 3 year break from boxing he took in 1952-1955.

Watching these films should leave you with an impression of his abilities:

AMAZING is the only word to use when describing Robinson, if i was to use four words they would be "ONE OF A KIND"

Yep! There's a reason Robinson is the consensus GOAT

Robinson knockout special

Back in the Seventies, I had an 8 MM real of a Sugar Ray Robinson knockout special.

It was amazing the skills demonstrated. For instance a straight left to the body of one opponent looked liked they were speared with an ancient lance. Fast hands, fast feet, fast brain, excellent ring movement and on and on and on and he could score a knockout with one punch or a rapid fire series of combinations, take your poison.
