Ive not see TOO much of Sugar Ray Robinson but im watching him fight Turpin right now and noticed he threw the lunging lead hook EXACTLY like Sugar Shane Mosley does today, just a note thats all.
Wonder if Shane took it from him

yeah thats where shane got the idea for the hook

Well, Robinson was one of the first to throw punches from the waist at unorthodox angles in order to blindside the opponent. So in terms of ultimate influence, perhaps, but I doubt directly.

Watch his second fight with Fullmer. Beautiful left hook that just sends Fullmer lights out. It's like the hook Mayweather landed on Hatton.

Here's a Ray Robinson highlight I made that includes a lot of his left hooks (in slow motion):

Shane Mosley HL:

Not just that though surge but watch how mosley looks very similar
in the way they move throw there shots everything about Robinson Mosley looks just like him..

We know Robinson was Mosley's idol anyway

Robinson would have fought as a lightweight today.
