      Sugar Shane always remind me of Ray Rob. The same stance, awkward jitters with the hands (it's constant for Shane, Ray didn't do it too often), punch selection.

      Watching Shane at 135 (when he use to unload) you'd think you were watching a modern ray rob, it was all so similar.

      Ashame all the videos are of an Older ray. The Moyer fight for example, Ray was 41 in that fight.

        The LaMotta and Graziano fights are highly recommended.

        Here is a 40 year old Robinson showing decent form against Gene Fullmer:

                I really can't believe people genuinely think he is the best technically they've ever seen because they sure as hell can't of seen many boxers.

                The guy by todays standards and this will probably cause an outrage but he is so ordinary & that is the truth. Limited as hell.

                147 Robinson, Paulie Malignaggi would box his ears off, real talk.

                LaMotta, all of these guys couldn't cut a ring off, just plodders with horrific balance, slow feet, just arched over stumbling forward like a drunk trying to find his way home at 3am

                Robinson was not a textbook fighter. Show me one video where he circles too his right or side steps...

                Look how easy he was to hit by tiny, slow, plodders.

                Why couldn't he circle to his right?

                    Welterweight Ray Robinson by TheGreatA

                    I'm glad you've enlightened us with your knowledge. They hadn't invented circling to one's right until Ali came along.

                    You can see how crude Robinson's arch rival Kid Gavilan's footwork was in this video below:

                      2.09 lmao. The guy had horrific defense!
                      I respect what he did & he was a great fighter for his respected era but to say this guys technically the best ever or anything along those lines is just crazy talk.
