This not only shows how great Sugar Ray Robinson was but also the professionalism and sportsmanship by those boxers of that Era. Something that you hardly see now.
I'm not sure that's true. Lots of people are still highly respected by opponents. There have been wars and squabbles for the littlest things since the beginning of time.
When the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis says the Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time...and you get "The Greatest" Muhammed Ali saying pretty much the same thing...there is nothing else need to be said other than watching Robinson in the ring, his fighting was a masterpiece, win or lose, EVERYTIME he fought, he was a genius of an artist at work. Like Beethoven writing his 9th symphony or Michelangelo doing St. Peter's Basilica! Robinson was the best!
Juan Lopez thank you sir! The history of boxing has always been such a fascinating and riveting story of gladiators fighting each other with everything they have physically & mentally! The sweet science is so much more than two men beating each other senseless, their is a beauty and chess-like theme to the concept of how two fighters can approach one another in the ring! The three men i mentioned Robinson, Ali, and Louis DEFINED the face of this sport, each being legends and all three being the best at what they did!
Elliot Steinwedell my friend give a little credit also to Rocky Marciano he also catapulted himself to being a good gladiator no indeed but nothing less his incredible left hook
Rocky was one of the greatest ever! 49 - 0! That says it all! Tough as granite and could punch with either hand and destroy anyone who got in his way! What a gladiator for sure!
Please convey my regards and DEEEP respect to Mr Lombardo (a) for stepping into a ring in the firt place; (b) taking the GOAT of world boxing the distance.
Walker Smith Jr. bka Sugar Ray Robinson the greatest ever. This guy was poetry in motion and the total package. The best welterweight and practically unbeatable at 147. He was also a great but beatable middleweight.
Robinson never lost a welterweight bout. Only ever beaten against middleweights. Lamotta beat him in the 2nd of 6 bouts. Not a welterweight bout. At weigh in Ray weighed in at 144, Lamotta, a whopping 16 pounds heavier at 160 pounds. Ray fought and took on heavier boxers earlier in his pro career. Before winning middleweight title he fought in welter class against welters and also beat boxers weighing in above welter class. / Ray was undefeated as an amateur boxer 2 time NYC golden gloves champion and world welterweight champ as a pro for years and years. Never lost at welter and below in total app. 100 pro bouts and over 100 amateur bouts. He says it here he won 170 something bouts total pro and amateur before losing. After Jake beat him, Ray beat him in about 2 weeks later. He kept fighting against welters and middleweights. Didnt lose again until over 130 pro bouts in a decision against Randy turpin, a middleweight. .Then koed Randy months later. / Roberto Duran is my favorite. Joe Louis, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Ezzard Charles, other favorites. Sugar Ray Robinson P4P still the best. Duran at lightweight, Louis at heayweight, Charles at light heavy up there close, but Ray is the best, IMO. I got Robinson, Duran, Armstrong, Charles, Louis, Ali, Pep, Langford, Leonard, Mayweather JR. ... in top 10. / Robinson #1.
If Floyd Mayweather jr. got hit like Robinson hit rocky graziano...his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. would have seriously considered not letting his son continue in such a profession!🤭🤭🤭
If Floyd Mayweather jr got hit like Robinson hit rocky graziano...his father Floyd MAYWEATHER Sr. would have seriously considered not letting his son continue in such a profession!🤭🤭🤭
@@evnstvn58 Floyd gets mentioned on boxing videos a lot, and it's understandable since he is the best fighter P4P over the last 30 years or so. He is the best boxer P4P of the 21st century, for sure. Boxers like Duran and Leonard are better P4P than Floyd, IMO. However, Robinson is the best boxer P4P of all time, IMO, and no matter what anyone else may say Ray's best fighting weight is 147, Floyd's best fighting weight is 130. / Floyd squeaked by boxers like Oscar Delahoya barely really edging him out on points over 12 rounds at 147. Oscar is a natural lightweight, 135 pounds, too. Point is, Ray is 5 feet 11 inches, very strong, very fast, very hard hitting welterweight with incredible talent and skills. Floyd is 5 feet 8 inches and likewise is an incredibly fast, incredibly talented and skillful jr lightweight, not strong at all at 147 (welterweight). / Ray is naturally too big, too strong. HE will be moving Floyd back all fight and beat up Floyd using movement, a great jab and follow up punches to Floyd's body and head over and over and over. Floyd may win some rounds, but overall Mayweather, JR will be beaten up and likely stopped by Ray at welterweight. Floyd cant hurt Ray, hs punches will be ineffective while Ray will drive in body shots and out jab, out slug Floyd using his combination punching all night long.
@Carl One thing about it, Ali talked a gang of shyt and always backed it up..But he was always truthful when it came to a boxers ability to fight...Fu Sho!!
@youngzeus87 You know it always looking for something to degrade our Greatness But when it comes to them They can't do anything wrong Perfect Example Donald Trump. We know who will Praise The Antichrist when he appears and Denounce Jesus Christ when he comes just because of Skin Color some people will lose their Souls
Didn't know much about the guy before watching this video - except for the name. He certainly has my respect as a great fighter, but what made me love him was seeing what a consummate gentleman he was. SRR is now one of my favorites of all time.
Ali said it best, many records have been beaten over the years but no one has surpassed Sugar Ray Robinson's overall achievements. Even today, I don't think his records and achievements have been surpassed. SRR was a role model, not just in the ring, but his contributions to social programs like cancer research, and youth outreach programs, were exceptional and inspired other people to do the same. His intellectual abilities to manage his own contracts, his marketing ventures overseas, and his entrepreneurial undertakings in America were so far ahead of the times. People love him because he was such a great ambassador of the sport, a standard, a boxing genius, and a wonderfully humble human being. Very few can achieve becoming this total package no matter how rich they become. Excellent documentary!
147 lbs welterweight. Robinson & Mayweather both at their peak. Weighing in at midday and fighting 10 hours later that evening over 15 rounds Sugar Ray all day long 100%.
1. Weighing in at midday wouldn’t affect Floyd’s game 2. Floyd’s peak wasn’t 147 3. Floyd had showcased more skill than what we’ve seen on footage for Ray, at the same age as that footage for Ray 4. We’ve never seen Floyd go over 12 All in all I’m certain it’d be an electrifying bout. I’d lean Floyd by decision.
That's all I ever heard as a young kid an still do POUND FOR POUND Robinson's the greatest ever,I only seen one match,his last match,he seem like a great champ an a great AMERICAN an person,the footage an film is amazing,thx for sharing I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
All I heard my parents rave about was Sugar Ray Robinson, and Joe Lewis...I had to do my own research on that big monster Jack Johnson, who is hardly mentioned...He was huge and scary!! 😱
S.R.R.was the greatest combination of speed, balance & power, that ever came together in 1 boxer, he had no weaknesses. The phrase pound for pound was invented specifically for him. All the experts, pundits, & purists, will tell you that he really was the G.O.AT., nobody comes close to him, its that simple.
Roy Jones Jr. was also a perfect combination of speed and power and he had cat reflexes like Robinson or Muhammad Ali plus him and Sugar Ray Leonard are the fastest boxers in history.
But still nobody does it better than SRR! He was the complete boxer! Only person who comes the closest to box like Ray in style is a boxer named Kid Gavilan! A great Cuban boxer
@@A.fordbey.99 Nonsense!!!!!I love SRR, but Sugar Ray Leonard fought better competition,Wilfred Benitez,.Tommy Hearns 2X Duran-3X,Hagler,Kalule Lalonde!! And so did Roy Jones Jr at 168 and 175 and even won the WBA heavyweight championship .
@@djsugebryant281 yup Sugar Ray Leonard definitely fought better competition!!! Roy on the other hand I wouldn’t say had better competition than SRR , but Roy’s skillset is unbelievable.
Way to go for you bro. 👏🏾 you are a very smart and important man. You uploaded this Jim jacobs and Bill Clayton masterpiece. Good job. Keep it coming with the good content
That left hook in the fulmer rematch is the most perfect punch ever seen in boxing. Did you see how ray feinted to go to fulmers body, just the slightest of feints- fulmer drops his right to protect his body and ray lands the punch to the head and ENDS the fight! What a fantastic move that was. Also- when Muhammad Ali says he’s watched Robinson’s fights and says Robinson was the greatest p4p ever to step into a ring, that’s good enough for me. Ray was the best. You only have to watch him and wonder at him. When everyone thought he was finished, he went on for YEARS after, winning world titles time and time again. Yes he lost fights. But look at the rematches and look at the achievements he made. Unbelievable and a lovely guy too. 💥🥊
WOW I see why Mohamed Ali looked to him as his Hero he's awesome! The greatest now how can we see him as The Greatest when so many after him were great also?
Cleaned out the welterweight division most of the middleweight division probably would’ve dominated Light heavyweight and probably would’ve been a top heavyweight contender if he really wanted to. No question about it he’s the best ever.
Ray Robinson was awsome, for many the P4P no 1, he was the best boxer /ring technician that ever lived, but I think harry Greb might of best him, I have him joint 2nd with Sam Langford
I know my boxing . Sugarray .was in my opinion the best fighter ever .POUND 4 POUND .nimble on his feet .stylish .fast with both paws.give and take a punch .a stylish mover .the peoples MAN .
It always hurts to see champions gettin battered wen there older ppl judge floyed but hes smart for fighting more so for entertainment now than for glory respect to to robinson tho hes my favorite boxer
Longevity is a huge part of Sugar Ray's greatness. Well into his 40's, he was still beating younger champions. That's fighting 4 times as many fights as Ali. Not just age, but deterioration from too many fights. I'll tell you what speaks volumes. Ali, himself, one of the most arrogant and boastful individuals in sports history, readily proclaims that Ray Robinson was the greatest ever.
Whats scary about Ray Robinson is the lack of footage when he was in his prime, Most of the footage of him is was when is was a MiddleWeight. He was basically Unbeatable at WelterWeight. Anyone who thinks that Ali is more accomplished just doesnt know boxing. Ray could knock you out moving forwards or backwards with both hands, he could KO you with every punch from a Bolo to Jab. He had an amazing chin (never knocked out) and quite simply the BEST footwork in Boxing history. THE G.O.A.T. Period
oddyseus They are both the G.O.A.T. People always seem to forget, Ali was not allowed to box during the best years of his prime and with arthritic hands and later with parkinsons syndrome he still fought on for three to four years. Ali could also knock you out moving in any direction, so could Robinson. I don't believe you could distinguish between them, they were both natural, confident, courageous, charismatic and larger than life. two great boxers.
Remember...in case you didnt know...Ali was considered the HEAVYWEIGHT Ray Robinson...whom he aspired to be like anyway cause... "Sugar Ray Robinson" was his "idol" and...one of the best examples of we had of him putting someone's lights out was when he dropped Cleveland Williams (while moving backwards) the best it is said he ever was...before being stripped of his title...dont forget that!😌
Ray was a very stylish boxer .fast with both paws.could deliver a punch on the retreat. Superb nimble footwork .effective hrd puncher .also what a smashing guy .
El mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos N#1 una estrella un artista del Boxeo Ray Sugar Robinzon N#1 de todos los tiempos.Un Gladiador del ring.El mejor boxeador mas rapido y tecnico del mundo de todos los tiempos .
Definatley the best pound 4 pound in the world .blinding hand speed .attack .also knock out on retreat .nimble footwork .a stylish entertaining boxer .with a pleasant attirude
When you think of the great fighters in his weight category, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and recently Mayweather and Canelo, not to forget great fighters of the past; Ray Robinson would have beaten all of them.
When he went up to say Goodbye. He didn't have a table to put the trophy in his small apartment. Only a small bed and a chair.A man that was a fox closing his fights contracts end it up with the IRS on his back, but he was a great fighter.
I understand where you're coming from. Ali was a beautiful fighter, top ten p4p. But p4p wise, I don't think he was as good as a prime Sugar Ray Robinson. Ali himself has always maintained that he believes Robinson to be the greatest fighter of all time.
What I think every single time I watch a real fight I think my god there so fast!!! How can guys be so fast?? How can guys slip a punch that fast too??
This not only shows how great Sugar Ray Robinson was but also the professionalism and sportsmanship by those boxers of that Era. Something that you hardly see now.
Aint it remarkable the respect the fighters had for one another?
yes
The respect between men was so much more genuine and pure then wow 😯
Some men
You must be joking.

Ray hung out with Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Wow ! King of the ring and of cool.
SUGAR RAY ROBINSON THE GOAT !!!!!!
Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis said he was the best they ever seen so u know I'm going with them and plus he is the G.O.A.T
So 2 weeks after losing to LaMotta he was fighting again!! Todays fighters aren't even out of bed yet 2 weeks after a tough fight.
Definitely the GOAT !!
When you think of the great fighters in his weight category, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and recently Mayweather and Canelo, not to forget great fighters of the past; Ray Robinson would have beaten all of them.
Roy Jones Jnr would of beat him

The amateurs back then were tougher than most pro's today, unless you're a Mexican 😉😉 its true but, init !!
Ali said that he was a greatest boxer ever what a compliment to get from the greatest boxer and man who I believe ever entered the world Mohammed Ali
And Foreman's success was going to his head. His power was no joke, of course. But he was a brute. Very simple.
Gold epoque de la Boxe.
I LOVE BOXE ❤❤❤
Now here is a great American whereis Hollywood
When he went up to say Goodbye. He didn't have a table to put the trophy in his small apartment. Only a small bed and a chair.A man that was a fox closing his fights contracts end it up with the IRS on his back, but he was a great fighter.
I understand where you're coming from. Ali was a beautiful fighter, top ten p4p. But p4p wise, I don't think he was as good as a prime Sugar Ray Robinson. Ali himself has always maintained that he believes Robinson to be the greatest fighter of all time.
prime ali
Awesome video.
