Did Sugar Ray Robinson really hate boxing?

[Hawkins]

Be interested to know what time period that interview was? Few boxers once they retire keep up with the sport - pattern repeated throughout history, but Robinson in the 40's attended plenty of fight cards, pro and amateur.

No, I do believe it was while he was an active fighter. If I'm not mistaken it was while they were talking about one of his upcoming opponents. It's on one of the documentaries I have about his life and career. I'll have to get them out and watch them now to see exactly when it was because I can't remember the specifics.
