Sugar Ray Robinson was an Ahole

[soul_survivor]

Used to beat on his wife cheat on his wife was flashy said he fought for money ect. Does that make you think differently about him?

I think about him as the greatest fighter ever, a pioneer in self promotion.

As a man, I don't think I'd like him if I met him and he seemed quite pompous, as Ali said when he met him as a kid. But it is what it is. Do we really need to bring up the life of a man who was active about 60 years ago?

Did he duck the best fighters of his time in their primes and claim he was TBE?

Ali was a piece of ****! Racist ****! He was a light skin (cuz of Irish and British blood) black man and felt he was a better man than joe cuz he was dark skinned. Even calling him a gorilla. Smh to me that's worst than a racist **** white guy calling a black guy that. Cuz he knows how much it hurts but he did the same thing.

they called joe an uncle tom and a gorilla because he was in business with a all white team while ali was with the nation of islam (it had nothing to do with ali being light skin and joe being dark) the nation of islam feel as tho if you are a sell out to your own people they can call you what ever slur they want............their were people darker then joe calling him a uncle tom and a gorilla (had nothing to do with skin) do you know how many black americans who are light skin? millions. I don't think A irish guy way back in the ancestral tree had anything to do with ali calling joe a sell out.

The point I guess is why give Floyd, and Floyd alone grief for being a douchebag outside the ring.

robinson came up in a different era..............where women had different roles as today (many men simply would beat their wives and go out for a drink the next day like it was nothing) it was much more acceptable in those days and women had much less rights as they do today. you can't apply A different era and time period to mayweather...........

Been a twat outside the ring doesn't all of a sudden make him not 1 of the greatest fighters ever....if not the greatest. So it doesn't change my opinion at all.
#TBE lol

Well said.

Growing up in a different era doesn't justify bad behaviour. I'm pretty sure there were tons of men back in the day that didn't resort to domestic violence.

It's not just Floyd though is it? that's just flomos adopting the same victim mentality Floyd himself subscribes to.

As an example, Adonis Stevenson has had plenty of grief over his prior behaviour outside the ring and so have numerous others.

I know. I just think it's funny that we as fans tend to criticise boxers today for the same things our "heroes" did.

Jake Lamota was way worse. But he aint a slick bruva doe, so he aint be gettin a pass.

Sugar Ray Robinson was a good tap dancer so he's always cool in my book.
