    Sugar Ray Robinson NEVER fought a slick African-American

    Rocky Graziano

    Gene Fullmer

    Jake LaMotta

    Bobo Olson

    40 year old Henry Armstrong

    Joey Maxim

    Carmen Basilio

    Randy Turpin

    None of the above was a slick African-American. Robinson cherrypicked slow opponents that plodded forward and used their faces as the primary source of defense.

        I've always felt the same way about Robinson. I respect him and his achievements, but I never thought he should be considered the best ever. I think that Leonard could have beaten him. I also think that Sugar Ray Leonard is the best welterweight ever.
