- "Sugar" Ray Robinson
(Walker Smith Jr.)
Record 173-19-6 (108 KO)
"Sugar" Ray may have been the greatest all-around boxer to ever step into the ring; Many knowledgeable boxing people think so; He ranks among the top welterweights and middleweights of all-time; He was lightning quick - on his feet and with his hands; He hit hard, he had "savvy", he could move and he could take it; In a "nutshell" - he had everything !!!
Ray fought 85 amateur bouts and 40 professional bouts before he lost for the first time; He did not lose again until his 132nd professional fight; In all, he reportedly had over 200 pro bouts and lost just 19 - many towards the end of his career - when he was only "very good"
Herb Goldman ranked Robinson as the #1 All-Time Welterweight; Charley Rose ranked him as the #2 All-Time Welterweight; Nat Fleischer rnkaed him as the #5 All-Time Middleweight; Ray was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1967, the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2006

Ray was the first Ali, Ali wanted to be like Ray, the guy was the best a true showman.
There was only one sugar that was Ray Robinson GOAT
No man can fight like that and not have aggression deep down inside themselves. One of our own, American born and bred "The Great Sugar Ray Robinson." There will never be another one like him.
yea strange that he said he didn't like boxing
@@mr.t658 it’s because he killed a fighter by the name of Jimmy Doyle in the ring and it had a terrible effect on him he didn’t enjoy the sport after that
91 fight unbeaten streak. Read 'em and weep. This was a badass. Judges usually wasted their night out. Doctors were far busier.
👴🏻 WUTS HE DOIN DANCIN WIT A GUY?
He will be remembered a hundred years from now. A successful man I'd say.
I really respect this man
"Kind've barbaric you put two men in the ring and thrown money at them to fight" *Sugar Ray Robinson*
Hands down the best pound per pound boxer of all time.
I thought the young Ray Leonard was a monster, it makes you wonder just how unbelievable Ray Robinson must've been to be considered the greatest by so many old timers!!!
The numbers speak for themselves! He is the best one.
Yeah ray leonard new era, ray robinson lives in a tough era and dominates it... thats why hes the best
The real G.O.A.T.. MY dream-mythical fight is Sugar Ray Robinson vs Roy Jones, Jr. as middleweights (160 pounders). Everybody, please chime in.
@dapperdoug4742 Agreed. Robinson had much more boxing craft than Jones, though. Jones was naturally bigger.
Sugar Ray was the greatest of all times no body's close.
when you've won 173 fights when the gloves were smaller and your a 6 time world champ and beat the likes of Henry Armstrong kid gavalen jake la motta rocky graziano Carmen basililio tommy bell frizzy sivek then you can take the piss !
a shame he says he never enjoyed boxing, i hate to hear that, although i understand his point, but i reckon he did love the art of boxing, you don't get to be that good at something and not enjoy the act of doing that something, but the fight business can be a very brutal thing. . .out of the ring.
Sugar Killed a man in a boxing match.. I agree with you that he is sort of lying about never enjoyed boxing, but when you have to be in this industry for too long, It's a normal perspective..
@@leoskilldivision6504 yeah that really effected him in his long-term career and he wouldn’t want to hit his opponent hard but had to
It’s the mentality that comes with being a pro fighter he hates. He loved the science of it thanks to Joe Louis being his idol….but being a pro fighter is traumatizing. Mike Tyson proves that
Absolute greatest ever! - will never see a boxer like him again
mahalwala
Joey Archer was an extremely light hitter and when he dropped Robinson you knew it was finally over...Robbie turned Boxing into an Artform....
All of those damn Fighters their naming them Sugar none of those guys can ever live up to this Legendary Boxing King the Biggest Shoes to ever fill in Boxing 👑
mayweather is a great fighter no question bout it prob top 20 pound for pound but when people Compare him to ray Robinson it's a disgrace sugar ray would walk straight through him body shot OOSH !
my hero
Funny how all your so called friends leave when youre down.
When you think of it all of the greatest boxers did good for a long time and the vast majority of them ended up having to keep fighting to keep making money then winded up losing for good due to age.
@2phillyjay2 can you believe that they compare robinson with pacquiao. saying pacquiao is the greatest boxer ever!!!??? what a joke!
Tyson, Kellerman and Garcia are jokes, trying people to convince that Manny Pacquiao is as great if not greater than Robinson. I mean the man beat 10 individual IBHOF inductees: Sammy Anggott, Fritzie Zivic, Henry Armstrong, Jake LaMotta, Kid Gavilan, Bobo Olson, Rocky Graziano, Randy Turpin, Gene Fullmer, Carmen Basilio. and 4 WBHOF inductee: Marty Servo, Bernard Docusen, Georgie Abrams, Ralph Dupas. Imagine that. 14 individual Hall of Famers. compare to Pacquiao's 6. And seriously, do these people compare Robinson's competition to Pacquiao's? I mean there's no comparison between Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto, de la Hoya and Mosley to the likes of Sammy Anggott, Jake LaMotta, Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Bobo Olson, Rocky Graziano, and Gene Fullmer.
It’s not even close
is that really ray singing? if so hes a great singer!

Thank you :)
No comments..! LeGeNd!
let us not forget aussie aborigine dave sands .he was tragically killed in a truck crash in the prime of his life in twenties .he easily beat most of his opponents .he would have had to meet robinson eventually as he was high in the rankings .it was rumoured robinsons camp did their best to avoid a title fight as they knew how good he was .robinson was quoted as saying you will have to pay me a lot of money to meet him some boxing experts said sands would have won .and would go down as one of the greatest on a par with robinson .we will never know
Nice
Robinson's family hating on him hard.
0Shane13
0Shane13 he was psychologically troubled, and he beat his wife on the regular, and was missing most of the time. He was one of the greatest, but the truth is the truth.
cheated with multiple women...was violent...
@2pacinseattle Greatest person of all time
.G.O.A.T.
I use to be a boxer and conditioning was always training for fights the 70s 80s then i went into bodybuilding
@joe123090 Manny is not even the best of this era, so that's too funy to even entertain the idea. When Bob Arum is finished with him you'll see what comes out.
not me... im his cousin
GOAT
Sugar Ray Robinsons
Tyson
Pacman
Ali
Pacquiao p4p wise isn’t even top 10 of all time, Tyson? Man fought bums and ducked every good fighter, his resume isn’t even top 30 of all time. Pacquiao would be top 20 of all time, Tyson? Maybe top 100 but nah.
@@LesnarBuiltThePyramids okay , Tyson is the greatest for me next to SRR... I've watch all Tyson's fight... Men he's that great... sorry.
@@mrprince1318 hes a c list fighter and he only fights bums
@@LesnarBuiltThePyramids honestly, top 20 is too high for Pacquiao. Top 30 is a safe position for him.
@@ralphdupas6179 where would you place Tyson?
If SRR hit Floyd like SS Mosley did Floyd would have went to sleep. And I like Floyd!
GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.
And not a word about Jake Lamotta?
Boy, he sure was good looking.
The best ever , j’aurai tellement aimer le voir boxer , ce genre de boxeur n’existe plu ....
Film star looks he would've done well anyway talented fellow great champ number 1
The best of all time pound to pound
Il piu grande Peso Medio di Sempre !!!!
The real TBE
i do think ray robinson is the greatest ever but he's my 5th favorite fighter ever
Who’s your favorite
Forget the commentary, forget music and the vintage film, just look at the punches..... Wide as hell, no jabs and he's all over the place
If you watch the fights y
+killuminativol1 He had a great jab, was waaaay too quick to get caught while throwing his "wide as hell" punches as u call them,in his prime he could end a fight with pretty much any punch and whenever he wanted too,and he wasnt "all over the place" for most of his fights, he would sometimes be "all over the place" but that would be when he d throw his devastating combinations and most of the time that resulted in his opponent being knocked out...Did u even watch one of his full fights??? only ONE and u'll see that what u pointed out isnt true.
killuminativol1
his accuracy is crazy!!! even though it looks like hes throwing wild punches, all of them shits make contact in critical places.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
@2phillyjay2 totally totally agree :)
