Ray Robinson was 45 when he retired He was long past the age pro boxers are retired it's just another thing that makes him the greatest in the history of boxing

[@blaquenguni9249]

Cam'ron is considered a style icon coz he had a pink mink and Range Rover in 2003 ...Sugar Ray had a PINK CADILLAC in the 50s !!! Damn

Training, work ethic, brains toughness and a God given physique, Sugar Ray Robinson had it all.

[@jerryoshea3116]

This is one of the best ( most concise) documentary's i've seen on the Great Man.

[@BoxingLife]

Much appreciated Jerry! Put a lot of work and research into this one

[@jerryoshea3116]

@BoxingLife U have to give credit where it's due& there was plenty i hadn't seen or heard before. U might also like to check out a veteran Scottish Journalist ' Franks Nobel Art ' ! (He must be 78),but still trains at his Boxing& he relayed a story of meeting the great man,when he was a young Amateur in Scotland

[@luke125]

I agree. Brilliant work Jamie

Not gon lie, my stomach dropped soon as I saw the thumbnail as I was scrolling down my timeline 🤩 Been waiting for the video to drop since you posted about waiting for clearance in the Community section. I’m hype lol, and I ain’t even watch the video yet 😅

[@khannwolf4240]

Sugar Ray Robinson's greatest fan ever put on gloves there will never be another one like him❤

[@TopTier82]

The impressive part about watching the legends, you can see pieces of all these guys complied into Mayweathers game, a true student of the squared circle... They never want to give dude his flowers but he's truly the best to ever lace a pair of gloves... That dude is definition of the sweet science of boxing... People that had the opportunity to witness said he trained like he didn't have a single dollar to his name... I remeber when he fought Oscar he made a quote in a magazine, "While they're sleep I'm WORKING, while they're working I'm WORKING, they'll NEVER beat me." People don't even understand the power in those words...

[@donvaughn4239]

[@THEINFINITEBLACKDYNAMITE]

They were burning themselves out

[@jerryoshea3116]

​@@THEINFINITEBLACKDYNAMITEThey didn't have the luxury of choice like now,u fought often ( kept busy,fit and Razor sharp)so u could eat. It wasn't done as some kind of eccentric hobby to supplement boredom.

[@Clay_j_Bray]

@THEINFINITEBLACKDYNAMITE or maybe they just had testosterone levels above 500-750 unlike nowadays where 200 -300 is considered average.... and it's all normal now. And of course it wasn't planned.... right? We can't even muster the energy and motivation to sit at a computer screen for 40 hours a week, nevermind actually compete with another man for our livelihood....and yet we call it progress

[@THEINFINITEBLACKDYNAMITE]

@Clay_j_Bray From a scientific stand point they were burning themselves out, that's too much wear & tear on the body & not enough for healing & recovering. Men's testosterone level are lower today because of the foods & drinks being consumed, the environment of the world (wanting to de-masculate men & make them feminine), & the fact that jobs are not as physically demanding cause they have technology to do it or help them do it.

[@xGhostRidah]

​@THEINFINITEBLACKDYNAMITE if they were burning themselves out, then what do you call today's athletes? Todays athletes are softer than baby powder. Men were men in those days. You don't know what hard work is. They went 15 rounds back then. Now, 12? They fought over 5-10 times a year, now 1-2? You don't know the full potential we possess as humans. Keep eating your fast food and lifting them snicker bars.

GOAT

[@johnblonkenfeld5281]

I think you covered everything.

[@rockybalboa2526]

WHAT MADE ROBINSON A WINNER ALL THE TIME? WAS HIS BOUNCING FOOTWORK AND HIS SPEED AND AGGRESSION! IF YOU NOTICE HE ALWAYS POUNCES ON HIS OPPONENTS, OR IF THEY ARE CHARGING AT HIM AGGRESSIVELY? HE DANCES AROUND THEM WAITING FOR THEM TO SLOW DOWN, THEN HE GOES BACK ON THE OFFENSE WITH POUNCING. USING SPEED AND AGGRESSION. HE HAD THE ENERGY AND CONDITIONING TO DO THAT.. BUT HE HAD NOTHING ELSE .... THIS WAS HIS THING. HIS SKILL SET. IT WASNT SO MUCH HOW GOOD HE WAS, IT WAS THAT ALL THE GUYS HE FOUGHT DID NOT HAVE THOSE SKILLS OR ABILITIES..

[@grandizer4531]

Would have loved to see Ray Robinson vs Roy Jones Jr.

My Pound For Pound Top ( 3 ) Marvin Hagler.. Sugar Ray - Robinson.. Muhammad Ali..

[@RETROESKIMO3ATC]

They say we as athletes in todays age are better with science but 3-5 fights a month and if I’m not wrong they did like 15 or more rounds at that crazy, I think with a lot of sport and culture we as humans have lost our altitude for grit, I understand to a set degree it’s also to protect the fighters but it also just shows their resilience back then

[@GilturnerknocksoutphonyFloyd]

Simply put We will never see his like again. Most what I call “ casual” expert don’t know he was deprived of the LW title. He beat Sammy Angott. Soon after he beat him Angott got a title shot and won. Angott was Italian and connected Robinson beat him 3 times in non title fights. He was not allowed to fight for the WW title for 6 years because he was good, he was black and mostly because he would not play ball with Frankie Carbo the mobster who ran boxing from the late 30’s until the middle 50’s. Robinson refused to cooperate with Carbo. Carbo AKA Mr Gray, fixed many fights. That’s public knowledge these days. Both he and Blinky Palermo went to prison. I remember watching the hearings on corruption in boxing on TV. Sadly few films of Robinson at WW in his prime exist. The Robinson that was in TV in the middle 50’s was fighting on memory and because he needed the money. A prime Robinson would not have struggled with Basilio and Fullmer.

[@MarioOliveira-p5q]

Everyone used to train similarly in all sports because they didn’t have that much weights. I love rowing or riding a bike. That’s fluid resistance. You’re trying to do work traveling through a fluid. I love the bike because it’s the opposite of lifting weights. A heavier bike doesn’t make a difference. You just go into a higher gear or spin faster to produce more power and work. After a certain of building a base of muscle on your frame you’re just adding load to your bones and joint. If you do that on a bike you start to bend the frame and stretch the chain and it slows you down. And you’re doing it with your muscles. Most likely that’s what starts happening to your body because your skeleton is like the bike frame. They do it for fighting and football but if I slam a bike on your head and bend it it’s no longer a good bike. It only matters if you’re gambling in the sport for imaginary returns.
