Question About Sugar Ray Robinson........

[Fighting Marine]

What is Sugar Ray's win-loss record in the multiple divisions he fought in???

I think I've seen someone break this down before but can't remember the thread.....

So what was his record at lightweight, welterweight, middleweight etc etc

This would depend on how you do it. If your over 135 by a 1/4 of a pound, then officially your a Welterweight.

Of Ray's 200 bouts here's what he weighed in at the different weight Classes, with his record at that weight.

135 or less (Lightweight) – 8 (8-0)

147 or less (Welterweight) – 49 (48-1) ( the loss to LaMotta)

160 or less (Middleweight) – 100 ( 81-15-3) (1 NC)

175 or less (Light Heavyweight – 40 (33-3-3) (1 NC)

Unknown weight 3 -(3-0)

But this really isn't right either because when he fought and lost to LaMotta, he weighed in at 144½ and Jake was 160½. Officially he was a Welterweight and LaMotta, who was over 160, was a Light Heavyweight.

The same thing goes for the Maxim bout, which he lost. Ray weighed 157½, a Middleweight and Maxim 173, a Light Heavyweight.

Very interesting mate......

Thanks for that breakdown.
