I know I was just rattling your cage lol, its funny how Floyd was punished in here for assaulting his girl while SRR was a compulsive woman beater and it was said he was a horrible person and its a free pass, just funny how fans swing from one way to the other.Comment

Yeah Ray was the media darling. He was charismatic and that covers up a lot of sins. He appears to have turned a corner and straightened out. It it's real props for that.Comment

This sugar wasn't really that sweet.
Away from the public eye, Sugar Ray Robinson was closer to rotten.
Viewers can catch an intimate glimpse of the legendary boxer when HBO Sports debuts "Sugar Ray Robinson: The Bright Lights and Dark Shadows of a Champion" Tuesday at 10 p.m.
The one-hour documentary is anchored by the access granted by those closest to Robinson, including his ex-wife, children and business associates. It is further enhanced by the input of sportswriters and opponents like Jake LaMotta, Carmen Basilio and Gene Fullmer.
On the surface, Robinson was a triumphant figure, beloved by millions around the world. He went 175-19-6 with 109 knockouts and is considered by many to be the greatest pound-for-pound boxer in history.
But not many saw what Robinson was truly like as a man. Through this film we learn he was an egomaniac, a philandering wife beater and a poor father.
"My dad was a dad to lots of children except his own," says one son, Ron Smith. Ray Robinson Jr. tells of fierce combinations his father would land on his mother.
Included in the home-movie footage is a scene of Robinson in a hotel room, carousing with an anonymous woman.
"It was outrageous," ex-wife Edna Mae Robinson says, "the way he would haul off and slap me if he thought I disapproved (of his other women) or was going to leave in any way."

Not currently in jail
He is B:
The wealthiest fighter in history.
So, SRR being greater than Floyd in every way(other than maybe defensively) would not being in jail for long and would be richer than FloydComment
