Sugar Ray Robinson Interview (1952)

[@HndrXxX3]

I could listen to the smooth fellow talk all day. They don't make em like that no more . You can tell this man has alotta confidence and plenty sense

[@brasstacksboxing409]

I swear. A gentleman, but a BEAST in them ropes.

[@RookhKshatriya]

Seems like a 'modern' interview, very honest and informal.

[@robertvelez9557]

Why in God's name has there not been a movie to showcase the greatest boxer of all time Sugar Ray Robinson?

A calm quality Ray did have, along with Joe Louis, Ali, and Marciano.....I feel these kinds of fighters are a rare breed, they were pure warriors with very little conflict inside themselves.

Ray Robinson Is The Ultimate Warrior

[@DavidemetriLIC]

He was like the best boxer that had the movie star looks and style!🥇💯

[@Wilson632]

the greatest of all time in and out of the ring still to this day.

[@alanidron2133]

How do you imagine a fight going down between him and Floyd Mayweather? This is just a question not a comment but did Sugar Ray fight lots of really talented Fighters? And then of course there's the whole thing of each generation is different but I guess I'm just wondering if he would have been able to actually hit Floyd enough for it to make a difference cuz I've seen so many Mayweather fights enough to realize that nobody could lay a hand on him because of his defensive technique

[@ДжонЛокк-ы6ю]

@@alanidron2133 man ray just diferent lvl man. He could box for 15 rounds firin' punches without rest. Floyd just would not handle that fight temp

[@ahmadhasan8355]

@@alanidron2133 Ray would defeat Floyd with one hand, to paraphrase what one wise quora guy said

[@Feedback406]

Robinson has longer reach and he threw punches in bunches Robinson also had power in both hands and was known for knocking people out going forwards or backwards Floyd mayweather had trouble with the combination punching of manny paquiao which is why Floyd only threw singles for the majority of the fight and repeatedly held manny paquiao instead of shooting it out with him Floyd mayweather own dad said live during the fight “you are fighting scared son. You haven’t thrown combinations” Now imagine sugar ray Robinson 5’10 with longer reach and can throw combinations as fast as paquiao with power in both hands and is able to knock you out while moving any direction and just overall better technique than manny paquiao That should answer your question

[@jonathanwilliams8309]

He sure was something special, never ever to be forgotten.

[@humanforfreedom9583]

wow he has a real genuine confidence about him, only few have it one I can think of is marlon brando. its very powerful the mind and conscienceness is so powerful we don't even realise the full potential. a lot of fighters today act confident but its not real its actually insecurity.

Sports brings color together. Do you see any racism here ? Look how in loved the guys is with ray !

[@itsGdublan]

Racism is a fringe issue and has been for decades. If it wasn’t for media telling everyone that everything is racist, then people wouldn’t even talk about racism because of how little it actually exists.

[@panthersinstinct2750]

So white people lynching black people in the 1800's-1900s was for the 'media'? or what about the hate crimes that intentionally avoided any media attention? Adjust your tin-foil hat then come back and try to make some sense.

[@itsGdublan]

@@panthersinstinct2750 Notice how I said decades, and you counted in centuries. THATS how dumb you are. And while we’re at it, white people got lynched too.

[@alyjulmiste1880]

Grown man getting whipped by his mom. That's funny because, my mom use to tell me stories about those days. Married men with his own kids were still getting pounded on by their. Real black women did not play. I remember when my brothers and I were in our 20's, there were some stuff we had to take off and leave in our cars before we went into the house. Like earrings, gold cap for tooth you were able to take out and put back in and if we bought a girl to the house, she better be fully dressed.

[@trvth1s]

Lamotta his toughest because people think he is crazy if he does not admit it but he stated Zivic was his toughest, for those who don't know he is talking about Fritzie Zicic, who fyi has the deepest record probably in boxing history. A tough son of immigrants from E. Europe, high record boasted many wins and many losses but most of those losses were either close or controversial, including the SRR loss. He also had a split decision loss to Billy Conn, Charley Burley, Jake Lamotta, he beat and later lost to Henry Armstrong, and pretty much the entire ''black murderers row''. Fought everyone, like Joshua Clottey he had many losses but to elites and many times controversial.

Fritzi Zivic was a dirty fighter who uses his head elbows and thumbs Robinson easily beat him in the first fight And stopped him in their second fight
