Whats so good about Sugar ray robinson?

[TheEvilSaint]

one sentence: sugar ray robinson was FLAWLESS.

[Famoso Matador]

He was the first to be known as pound for pound the best in the game. He is great on the matches that were recorded, but ive heard that when he was at his best wasnt recorded. Great reflexes, and speed. He had good power and had great ring savvy. He was champ at welterweight, middleweight, and would have won the light heavy title but conditions werent in his favour.

[Famoso Matador]

I saw in a documentary that ray robinson wasnt his real name. When he was an amatuer he replaced another fighter by that name in a tournament, and he just pretended he was that person.

Remember when your custom title said "I'm a friggen idiot"?

Such a pitty it's changed.

ill second that. i guess they just invented speed and reflexes in the last generation or so.

Even Ali said SRR was PFP the greatest ever.

[Easy-E]

you really should watch some tapes...

basically he was everything

some nut above mentioned he would not be anything special today...

Jones, great speed and reflexes...seemingly bad chin and too cautious to take chances...

Robinson, great speed and reflexes, great chin, and willing to take punches...

Toney, great defense, good speed and skill, but not so great shape and gets lazy sometimes...

Robinson, great defense, great speed and skill, always in shape and ready to flow...

Trinidad, great power, determination, but lacking defense and one dimensional...

Robinson, great power, determination, good defense and multi dimensional...

shall I continue?

see where I am going?

rjj would whup ssr, and srr doesnt have a good chin at all. hes been dropped, hurt and ko'd many times in his career

Roid considers Robinson to be the greatest fighter of all time. Also Robinson was never knocked out, he quitted in one fight. The guy retired at 1952 with the record of 131-3, Robinson won 96 straight fights, in his first 127 fights he lost only once. When Robinson came back 5 or 6 years later, he wasn't the same fighter, he lost most of his fights at that time.

As for Sugar Ray Leonard, he was also never knocked out. He came back for one fight with Camacho when he was old & he got TKO.

Sugar Ray Leonard took punches from the undefeated Hearns, Leonard had a great chin & had more skills then Roid ever will.

For the last time please do not compare Roid to 2 of the greatest fighters of all time. Roid is overrated & was knocked out cold by the senior citizens like Tarver & Johnson.
