Sugar Ray's Perfect Boxing Explained

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ม.ค. 2022
  • Sugar Ray Robinson is widely regarded as the P4P greatest boxer of all time, and even Muhammad Ali aggreed. Robinson was poetry in motion, strong in every way and lacking any real weaknesses. His graceful out-boxing was just as efficient as his brutal inboxing, and both paled in comparison to what he could pull off while exchanging at mid range. Every piece of Robinson’s style worked together perfectly, his footwork, head movement and punch selection compounding to enhance each other.

    Sugar Ray retired after going on a run of 128-1 (84 KOs) & capturing the welterweight & middleweight titles. He came back 3 years later, recaptured his title, and fought for 12 more years, finally ending his career with 174 wins & 19 losses (109 KOs).
    His competition was the best in boxing history - 18 world champs & 10 Hall of Famers. His career spanned 25 years during a period when there were only 8 weight divisions & one championship belt (compared to 17 weight classes & 5 "championship belts" today). There was also a lot more competition. This means every division was much deeper, and it was more difficult to win the world championship.
    This man had power in both hands, speed, timing, ring IQ, creativity, heart, a good chin (never KO'd), great footwork & athleticism.
    Trivia: He was so good that the term "pound-for-pound" was created to describe his abilities. He's also the inventor of the concept of the entourage, lol.

    9:46 as funny as that is, that was a big component of Sugar Ray’s style. His skill as a finisher wasn’t so much based on his natural power, as it was based on his ability to figure out when to open up and throw with 100% commitment. We always hear how you shouldn’t load up and put everything in your punches, but there are moments when wild haymakers can land, and Ray Robinson excelled at finding those moments

      @@myrillionissilly My point is that if you’re opponent is hurt/tired and retreating from the exchange, he won’t be thinking about countering the load up of the Gazelle hook. When your opponent is compromised it is pretty safe to load up on your shots. Look at Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler, and Ray Robinson, they all threw their gazelle hooks when their opponents were compromised, either by throwing it immediately after slipping one of their punches so they are off balance (Tyson), by changing stances before loading up to confuse them (Hagler), or by throwing when the opponent is retreating (Robinson). These are the times where loading up on shots is not a bad idea.

      @@thewandering01 I wouldn't mind doing an essay on the old-time boxers far more interesten in boxing than these money hungry fools that put the $$$ first. Some so-so boxers today do box a lot because they don't know anything else. A lot of gyuys retiring at 38 after 20 years and 120+ fight in those years. Ali fought 61 times, but fought all the giants, and a shortened tank called "Smokin' Joe". 49-0 Rocky M. started kind of late and fought for 9 years (I Think).
      I didn't know about Wilder or Fury until 3 or 4 years ago. I'm sorry, but in the '70's Tyson Fury would be the local punching bag and alright to spar. I don't know enough about Wilder and Fury, so I guess I'm not being mature. But, when do those guys fight again, and if it's not each other who's going to care?

    Ali was right. Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time.

It's a shame we can't watch him in his prime and appreciate his greatness.

    The Jazz Boxer. That's what this video highlights to me.
    He was a jazz dancer in the ring. He literally had 'jazz hands', and the footwork and movement to match it. The music in his movements made his opponents fall asleep, lulling them into submission with his pace. The violent tangoist, indeed.
    Truly the pound for pound greatest. No wonder Ali bowed to him.

It was supposed to be a world title fight but Anggott won't dare try to risk his title to then 20 years old Sugar Ray Robinson.

      I have two goats. One is alright to hang out with but the other one runs away. As far as sports?? It must first come to weight-class, then record, titles and defenses and just overall, but imagine Roy Jones in the '30s, Mayweather in the '20s, Mike Tyson in the 1960s into the '70s. 'Prime' to me is an attitude and respect for history and All the GOATS. Personally, @ middleweight, Roy Jones is right there. Imagine a Light heavyweight Mike Tyson with Sugar Ray?? They'd still be going at it. It's so humorous, it's insane how we as fans are witness to that many legends in American Sports. MMA has been stuffed by so much hate and zero respect. Like old-time baseball. Nothing beats a Mickey Mantle or Babe Ruth as GOATs of baseball. That's another topic.
