Sugar Ray is the GOAT he was fighting on a tight schedule next still was out classing these guys making great fighters look like amateur fighters. I'm a huge Floyd fan but to appreciate Floyd skill set ring generalship foot work defense etc etc you have to watch Sugar Ray he had everything Floyd has. Floyd knocked Ricky Hatton out with a left hook going backwards well Sugar Ray did the same to Jake Lamotta, in my opinion Sugar Ray is the greatest of all times he should be number 1 on every body list

[@Tommy2shoe811]

Pbs Frontline is the best news show on tv by a far margin you should check it out. Their shows on Isis, Iraq, Iran, etc is second to none. In fact foreign news especially in Canada and Britain use their programs on a regular basis bc they're so good. A lot of the footage you see of Isis that wasn't released by themselves was captured by frontline.

[@HawkAmExpat]

An incredible rivalry, the likes of which has not been seen since in boxing. No hate here between them, only respect. Sugar Ray Robinson had beaten Jake LaMotta four times before this fight but as Robinson says in this interview, "Jake never ducked anybody." If LaMotta had not cut the razor's edge so tight with his weight--he admits that he lost six pounds in a steam bath the night before the fight in Chicago, in order to make weight--he would have had a much better chance. That said, Robinson knew well how to combat LaMotta's bruising, brawling style. To his credit, in terms of their overall rivalry, LaMotta went down in boxing history as the first fighter to defeat Sugar Ray Robinson and more to the point, the only fighter who defeated Sugar Ray Robinson in his prime. What was very difficult for LaMotta in their last fight, this one in 1951, was that Sugar Ray, like no other fighter before or since, would land that wicked left jab--for my money, Sugar Ray Robinson had the best left jab ever of any fighter-- and then move in the opposite direction (very unorthodox and very effective) and throw uppercuts to the body or straight rights and overhand rights to the head. Robinson, in a word, was devastating. Something people forget about Robinson, because he was so very clever and had excellent footwork, is that he went to the body like few other fighters, he had an incredible inside game. The fact that LaMotta beat him eight years earlier, in his prime, is phenomenal, given Robinson's command of the ring, his toughness, his stamina and his skills. To have a chance at defeating Robinson in 1951, LaMotta would have had to train like Marciano--be at fighting weight 16 weeks before the fight and run 6-9 miles a day, eat pushups for breakfast and heavy bags for lunch. So much respect, between these two champions, in this interview--very heartening.

[@ericday4505]

Great stuff Mr Tucker I think someone should do a documentary on this rivalry, to me it isone of the best in sports, I dont think that it detracts from Jake that he only won the one fight I think it is a tribute to them both, like you said Mr Tucker he beat Ray in his prime.

When boxers were actually fighters. We will never see warriors like these again. A product of a tougher world. A world with no computers. A world where individual achievement was still recognized as the key to life. Not like today. Hey, Sugar Ray, you didn't beat the Bull on your own. You had help. The government built the roads to the stadium. The farmers raised the cattle that turned into the steaks you ate. The public schools where you learned to read. The workers of the companies who built the ring and made the boxing gloves, they all get equal credit for your victory. You just showed up and moved around the ring for an hour.

[@Emeraldisle4ever]

MIKE TUCKER your Comment is very true and I doubt anyone else could make that Comment any more Percise, the last Fight they had something you already touched on is that 'Jake lamotta ' was extremely tired as he had to lose something like 3 Stone in as little as 10 Weeks to make Weight for this Fight. The Great 'Sugar Ray Robinson ' RIP beat him Fairly and Convincingly but 'Lamotta ' was over trained and had little left for the Fight but one thing he neva lacked was Heart and Guts in this Fight as it was Proven because 'Robinson ' RIP couldn't knock him Down but besides 2 Legendary Fighter's from a by gone era in the sport of Boxing.

[@ravimahira2092]

[@ScarA]

It's a matter of taste and understanding different styles really. It's very normal to see the majority support and enjoy slugging because there isn't much understanding required, it's only two basic fighters exchanging blows. Slick styles require a proper more advanced understanding of the sport; the positioning involved, leg movement, set ups, smart counters, feints and so on.

No offense but Gatti(RIP) will be remembered as a heavybag. Taking unnecessary punishment when you can avoid it ISN'T what boxing is about.

These guys exchanged a lot early in their careers but no one heard of it because these people didn't exist back then.

[@nycinstyle]

I think if we could clone a prime Robinson at welterweight and put him the ring with any other welterweight that ever lived Robinson would still be undefeated. No welterweight ever beat Robinson in his over 100 pro fights at welterweight and in nearly100 amateur fights he was also undefeated (85-0 with 69 knockouts including 40 in the first round as an amateur boxer)! He beat many many, many great boxers (as a pro) at welterweight including Gavilan and Zivic and Angott, Lamotta, and Armstrong. Robinson lost once, dropping a close decision while fighting as a welterweight to Lamotta (who fought as a full fledged middleweight outweighing him by 16 pounds - official weigh in Robinson 144 Lamotta 160). Additionally, Robinson beat Lamotta in 5 of 6 of their bouts. (Robinson's competition is possibly the best in boxing history fighting 18 world champions and defeating 10 Hall of Famers including; Sammy Angott, Fritzie Zivic, Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Jake LaMotta, Randy Turpin, Rocky Graziano, Bobo Olson, Carmen Basilio, and Gene Fullmer). Watching Robinson fight on film is awe inspiring for boxers, despite the fact that the prime Robinson doesn't even exist on film. Unfortunately, Robinson fighting at his best in his greatest performances doesn't exist on film. To get a glimpse of just how exceptional this boxer was, watch the guy fighting on film particularly up to and including his first middleweight title victory (the 6th fight against Lamotta and the only one of their bouts that exists on film).

[@deumevet]

+nycinstyle are u sure there is no prime robinson fights filmed? there are videos of jack johnson here on youtube.

[@nycinstyle]

+deumevet Yeah. Absolutely true. Robinson at his best does not exist on film (such as great fights vs. Kid Gavilan). There is various footage of some of his earlier fights (before he won the middleweight title here Robinson - Lamotta 6 - this fight footage shown in this video) that do exist on film, though (I actually have them as I am sure many others do by now). Such as vs. Sammy Angott, Georgie Abrams, Charlie Fusari, and Bobby Dykes. Robinson at welterweight fighting at his best is not on film. His final defense of the welterweight title against Charlie Fusari is the closet you can get. He won the fight 13 rounds to 1 with 1 even on the scorecard (the referee only one to score under the rules in that bout) with Sugar Ray rather obviously seeming to be taking it easy on Fusari throughout the bout and carrying Fusari at the end. Robinson had donated his entire purse (except $1) to cancer research and seemed to be fighting like it was an exhibition not wanting to ko Fusari. The footage against Abrams, Angott, and Dykes (and Lamotta 6) also shows glimpses of why he is called the best pound for pound boxer, ever. Earliest (only highlights exist) of Robinson's pro fights on film: Riccio, Beckett, Angott, Flores, (all before Robinson won the welterweight title). Soon after he beat Tommy Bell for the title, he fought Abrams (a non title bout) which also exists in highlights on film. His title winning bout against Tommy Bell and all other fights Ray fought as a welterweight (except those I mentioned in this post) were not filmed. It also took Robinson 5 years to finally get a chance to fight for a title (the welterweight title was vacant and he fought Tommy Bell to win it), because everybody was afraid to face him when he was a welterweight. In the early to late 1940's I do not think there was one manager in the world with a welterweight that thought he could beat Sugar Ray Robinson. He never lost to a welterweight in over 100 fights. The only guy ever to beat Robinson when Ray was a welterweight was Jake Lamotta in their second of six bouts who outweighed him by 16 pounds! (Official weights at the weigh in Robinson 144, Lamotta 160). Robinson beat Lamotta in all of the other 5 bouts they had.

[@nycinstyle]

+18tangles Sands was a real strong, good middleweight who liked to fight inside. He earned decisions over Bobo Olson in non title bouts twice (Olson was at one time middleweight world champion) in relatively close fights in the biggest wins of his career. Robinson beat up Olson all four times they fought handily and even knocked him out (3 times)- in one of those victories Robinson knocked Olson out in 2 rounds to regain the middle weight crown in their third meeting after coming back to boxing for money to help him pay his debt he owed the government after a layoff of years. Sands was a guy who liked to maul opponents and yes you are right (like Lamotta)he may have given Robinson some trouble at middleweight. I certainly do not think he would beat him, though. Besides, I am talking about the welterweight Robinson when citing him as the best boxer (unbeatable) ever. Anyway, I would have liked to have seen the Sands vs. Olson bouts because yes Olson was a good inside fighter and this guy beat him twice while fighting inside with him. Robinson vs Sands is a real good matchup because this fellow Sands would have been trying to stay close to Robinson the entire fight. It likely would have been action filled with Robinson moving at times and unloading combinations to keep Sands off of him.

[@nycinstyle]

18tangles Dave Sands? He was a quick puncher but he came at you trying to beat you up by wearing you down. He was an excellent inside fighter, he was not a fancy boxer but used his strength as a mauling inside fighter. He did not dance and move to avoid trading. He came right at Olson whenever he looked to set up his combinations. . You are right, he was fast and strong. He bounced on his feet looking to come in and set you up for the attack similar to the way Pacquiao does. I would say he was an aggressive exceptionally good inside fighter who bounced on his feet giving angles to gain the advantage in launching an attack.

[@nycinstyle]

Cryer24597 Nope. You are wrong, again. Ali would not have beaten a prime Joe Louis. Ali also would not have beaten POUND FOR POUND a prime Sugar Ray Robinson. No boxer could. Even Ali, himself, said that Robinson was better than him.

[@ltravail]

Boxing went downhill fast after they changed the number of rounds for a championship fight from 15 to 12. Rounds 13, 14, and 15 were known as the "championship rounds" for a reason. Those were typically the decisive rounds in a championship fight, where it was a test to see who really wanted to win the fight the most, who had the biggest heart. Now, with the 12-round limit, most fights end in a decision, and those decisions are usually ambiguous, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes, from a fan's point of view. If they want to make boxing great again they need to go back to 15-round championship fights.

Jake would have beaten Ray but for the fact that he got cut and Ray was the only who took advantage of it.

[@sytelwilbarn5190]

shame on you ray had already beat him 4/5 times. so how could you just be so sure the cut was the reason...

[@Ariamaluum]

Ali copied his style of jabbing him in the eye so Jake can't see the punches and moving around. If you are close, Jake will get you and he tagged Ray pretty good but Ray got his eye with those moving jabs of accumulation. By the later rounds, Jake couldn't see. True with Carmen Basillio. One of Ray's victories over Jake was considered a draw and a win by many ring insiders. Still a 3 to 2 victory over Jake. He couldn't handle speed demons like Ray.

[@sytelwilbarn5190]

Ain't boxing chest not checkered right bro? Ray had to get thru a lot of punishment in all those fights...So nothing was given to him, his strategies worked... allot of fighters wouldn't have been around in those later rounds to do what he did, do he must be given FULL CREDIT for the victory bro

[@Ariamaluum]

I admire Ray's patience and toughness. Lot of the guys tried to knock those small aggressive guys like Jake. Most people said it couldn't be done from the opening bell to later rounds. Most strategy was to knock the guy out first then stick and move if you are ahead on pounts. Not Ray. Jab, Jab till you found the opening. Ray had him hurt in the 11th but Instead of going for the kill, he made it a marathon race so by the 13th, Jake couldn't see or hit.

[@sytelwilbarn5190]

ray was a professional, about howhe did his job....i would love to see a lot of those fights at welterweight that we will never see....

[@DynomiteDerek]

@123calisshit123 Was that fight on record tho cuz if not than officially hes never bin knocked down, and i saw that fight between robinson and lamotta the knock down happened in the 8th round and ya he was saved by the bell but that was the rules back then he still went on to fight 2 more rounds and did great, and every time a fighter gets rocked like that he better get checked

[@fashizzle78]

Styles make fights LaMotta the. "Raging Bull" Robinson was like the Matodor

[@nomecognome8737]

You know they had their third fight *20 days* after the second one(the only won Jake won), I repeat, *20 days after* And before that they both had fights the previous month (January) And we ain't talkin about fuckin' first round ko followed by rematches, we're talking about a fight that went the distance, a massacre, and after all of that they did it again just 20 days later

[@AlUY-j7w]

[@mikehunt9884]

[@Robstailey]

@123calisshit123 lamotta never knocked out robinson, he beat him once out of 6 fights on a decision. robinson did however knock out lamotta in their last fight.

[@jamestodd1104]

Robstailey he didn’t knock him out. The referee stepped in. TKO.
