Boxings Legends Explain How Crazy Good Sugar Ray Robinson Was

Just a simple video of some of boxing's greatest champions and trainers giving praise to Sugar Ray Robinson, with some of his highlights chucked in there. Made this video over a year ago, thought I'd upload it just to stay busy, hope you enjoy!

Supernatural stamina too. Like a lot of those old fighters, and its hugely important, because most fighters with the qualities you listed, sometimes can't keep up the pace for the whole fight, but Ray Robinson was just built different in every sense of the word.

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

@@cherub3624 Agreed. Boxing is the one sport I would take Ole Skool athletes over modern fighters. Because back then they were conditioned to go 15 hard rounds, unlike today's softer fighters who gas-out after 10 rounds. If Ray saw the slightest sign of weakness he would throw a flurry combo of punches to ruthlessly end the fight.

My father loved boxing and he said to me watching Hagler vs Leonard as a child (what a fight) that there was another 'Sugar'. I asked 'Was he good?' My Scottish father replied, "Would have beat these two."

[@kineahora8736]

Same here. My father said he didn’t think it was appropriate Ray Leonard took the name “sugar Ray” because there was only one “Sugar Ray”

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

It is sometimes said that Leonard was the best Welterweight whereas Robinson was the better Middleweight of those two. It was also said here that Robinson was the most determined fighter but I would say that Hagler is the most determined warrior that I have seen . No one is unbeatable and each of these fighters could have beaten any of the others on separate occasions IMO.

[@kineahora8736]

@@TheHumbuckerboy Absolutely loved Hagler, sad I missed Robinson-was before my time. “Most determined” is kinda silly. Who knows what is in anyone’s mind. Obviously they were both mentally tough as nails. Hagler had a chip on his shoulder that all the guys with a fancy amateur career got all the props and opportunities and marketing, and all he did was beat everyone up! Not sure what Robinson’s story was and what motivated him… but he is obviously still remembered and discussed…
