      Tall lanky guy who could take the best punch of anyone in the division and routinely knocked out seemingly more powerful fighters in a weight class which, at the time, was filled with great fighters. Lost his light heavy match by heat exhaustion, rather than to his opponent....

          thats odd considering that rjj is shot after about 1/8 as many fights as sugar ray.

            I think he fought a total of 22 HOF's, and beat pretty much all of them

              Jake Lamotta was his only real rival, and he beat him 5/6 times.

                ** Keep in mind that all of the pro video on Ray is after he had over 100 fights and was fighting beyond his prime against naturally larger men. Ray is one of the few fighters who had everything and stayed ranked longer than any fighter in history, being ranked for most of his his 25 yr career.

                  even though they only fought twice, carmen basilio was a good rival for ray as well, and dont forget gene fullmer.

                    From what I hear there was controversy over some of the fights saying that LaMotta was robbed 1 or two times against Robinson.
