Ray Robinson was all about money WTF you on about , he was a promoters nightmare sometimes on fight night refusing to fight unless he was paid more , also he made them on fight night pull down and then put up a larger ring because he wouldnt fight in a small one , your full of **** mate Sugar Ray was a wife basher very arrogant and promoters never liked him , he was very proud that he had enough money to buy a city block and bragged about it , drove Cadillacs had an entourage of 20 or more people from shoeshine boys to back slappers .
Watch the doco called " Bright lights Dark Shadows " and learn what Sugar Ray was really like .
His numbers of fights over his career was made up mostly of bums , many had as many losses as they had wins some had more , if you took away the bull**** contests which were a weekly circus show fighting nobodys and wrote down just the real meaningful fights in Rays career you have a career much like Floyds except in higher divisions as Ray was nearly 6ft and over all bigger than Floyd in all departments .
Im not knocking Robinson as he was a great fighter but when people start talking out their ass it gets a bit hard to take , a fighter could not have over 150 fights without the majority being nothing fights against nothing opponents , Ray had about 40 real fights over all which is about average for top fighters , how many Gomez's could Cotto fight and how often , Floyd could fight and beat Gatti's once a mth for years , how many Margos can Cotto fight in a year , I will tell you 1 or 2 ,,,, boxing is about classes and when a fight is a war in top class or a gimme against a dud , its all relative when looking at the big picture of career .
