Whats so good about Sugar ray robinson?

[cmason]

to even mention jones's name in the same sentence as ray is an insult to the mans memory. he had balance, great footwork, speed, power and a heart as big as a truck. undefeted as an amateur, he was only beaten once in his first 127 fights, by lamotta, after he was inducted into the army and had'nt trained. he avenged this defeat 2 WEEKS later.
great, great fighter. by the way, he always said the best fighter he ever saw was willie pep, who he beat narrowly as an amateur.

SRR was the perfect fighter. I wish I could've seen him in his prime. His left hook was amazing & in those clips with the precision & power he threw it with was flawless. I even saw him through some triple left hooks & to do that is crazy. SSR would DESTROY any Welter now or ever.

Those uploads are nice, thanks.
We could sure use a SRR in this day and age of overrated prospects and easy fights.

ray robinson was great, but slightly overrated.

[dino]

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?

robinson didnt have great power at 160..he feet wasnt fast like ray leonard..u idiots love to give old fighters these god like attributes just because they fought a long time ago

[dino]

one sentence: sugar ray robinson was FLAWLESS.

far from flawless..thomas hearns was about the closet fighter to being flawless

[Bozo_no no]

robinson didnt have great power at 160..he feet wasnt fast like ray leonard..u idiots love to give old fighters these god like attributes just because they fought a long time ago

so ray robinson had alot of power @ 160 ?

Yes he did, and if you took the time to watch his fights with the likes of LaMotta, Fullmer, Maxim, Turpin, Olson, Graziano, etc., etc., it should be quite obvious to you that Robinson still carried "great" power at Middleweight.
