    Are there any boxing fans that DON'T like SRR?

    Seriously I can't think of one time, either in life or on the net where I've heard a boxing fan say they dislike Sugar Ray Robinson. I"ve heard a minority say they don't have him as number 1 P4P but I've NEVER heard someone say they weren't a fan or weren't impressed.

    Have you ever come across anyone in your life who DIDN'T like SRR?

      That's like saying I love basketball but I don't like Michael Jordan.

        I think boxing fans just have a level for respect for Robinson where you won't find many willing to try and discredit his career.

              Yup, he had respect for him in the ring but not outside.

                can't understand how anyone wouldn't like Sugar Ray Robinson, he was the definition of what a fighter is supposed to be, he was the mold of a true fighter, someone whose fight's can be used to teach students of Boxing unlike others who have more will than skill..

                  You get the odd pleb every now and then who tries to call him fake / attempt to hate on him for not fighting any of BMR (Burley more so then the others) without actually knowing why he didn't fight them or the circumstances, apart from them I don't of anyone that would hate him, a side from Basilio as PED said before lol.

                  Nice avy Monk, good pic.

                    I think Basilio respected him, obviously as a fighter.
