Before the world became acquainted with the nickname “Sugar Ray Ray Robinson”, Walker Smith Jr began a glorious run in amateur boxing. Smith was so good. He graduated from amateur ranks unbeatable, with a record of 85-0 (69 KO), winning an amazing 40 scythe in the first round.

The name “Ray Robinson”, currently a synonym for a goat’s place around the world, appeared when Smith borrowed the amateur friend’s card “Ray Robinson”. Sugar was added when the manager George Gainford watched The Future Great in Action; Impressed what he saw, he said that Robinson was “sweet as sugar.” So the most iconic nickname in boxing was born.

While his amateur trip was brilliant, and the victory over another legend of Willie Pep fell along the Golden Gloves championships – it was Robinson’s race as a professional who really blew up everyone.

Stylistically, Robinson is a complete boxing warrior. The fact that no film material is available from its peaks is a tragedy, but many available films from its average weight battles are proof of the boxing efficiency of experts. It remains one of the most destructive KO punchers, with 109 KO as diverse as any other puncher he has ever seen.

His power was shocking, as the powerful Brawler Gene Fullmer showed perfectly. Robinson released the crunchy left hook without fat during isolation, immediately mutilating the “cyclone”. Rapid combined impacts flowed from his fists as effortless, like any other, their performance is not more observable than when the mouthpiece of Rocky Graziano was blown up in the crowd.

The Perfect Punch technique was not the only tool that conquered two decades. Robinson was also a pretty applicant and boxer master with relentless endurance. For a character as grateful as sugar he had that few could compare. All in all, Robinson fought with world champions, from lithe great Sammy Angott to the lithe king Joey Maxim.

Despite the fact that they usually surpass and wake up with powerful enemies in the killer era, Robinson never took 10 and was detained only once in his entire career. This break was caused by thermal exhaustion, in the ponderous lithe, in the fight Robinson won, in such a balmy place, even the referee was replaced in the middle of the fight.

Hardness, skills, shrewd and power ended in an excellent warrior and for 11 years everyone was perfectly Robinson.

In a series of forms, Hall of Fame Sami, Robinson overthrew masters and Hall of Famers from 135–147 pounds in Marty Servo, Sammy Angott twice, Jake Lamotta, Izzy Janazzo twice and Fritzi Zivic 21, compile a brilliant 40-0 record.

The legendary lethargic lamotta out working and put him in the second fight, handing her first defeat to Ray. Robinson would make him pay in return in the most destructive first year he had ever seen.

For seven years he remained invincible in 91 consecutive fights. So many iconic names in the world of boxing fell to Robinson at his cruel level. Cuban Great Kid Gavilán lost twice, Lamotta four times, and Angott and Jannazzo were beaten again, while Kozi Armstrong’s colleagues tried defeat, although they went through their best.

When Robinson ruled in the World Welter championships in a welterweight, all pretenders fell. So much that he dared to medium weight in search of recent competition, cleaning and kidnapping the crown at 160.

Shortly after throwing Hall of Famer Bobo Bobson in his 115^th Robinson’s victory has set up a European concert tour. Among the many other notable locations they were blurred in Paris, Brussels, Geneva, Frankfurt, Zurich and Antwerp. Charisma, grace and personality “Sugar” were moved outside the ring and was a real global star.

A brief flash took place in London, Earls Court, courtesy of the great Randolph Turpin. In one of the biggest British boxing in history and the most iconic victories, Turpin surpassed, developed and exceeded Robinson to pull out the titles of medium weight, ending his colossal undefeated run, which almost established records as the longest in history.

In the first fight Turpin, the Robinson record was stunning 129-1-2 (84 KO). He dominated masters from 135 pounds to 160 pounds, which is equivalent to five divisions in a newfangled context. Although Turpin temporarily brought him back to earth, he showed a stubborn rebellion, which in the coming years will strengthen his heritage. He did not waste time recovering titles with a clear TKO from the 10th round just two months later, once again he took revenge on the man who defeated him.

The decade of domination in the 1940s emphasized the unparalleled superiority, but the 50th was adversity that revealed the extraordinary strength and resistance of Robinson. Vicious Nokuts nad Rocky Graziano and Bobo Olson followed the recovery of the belt before the next jump to a slight weight, which will be to become the champion of three divisions.

Once again, three divisions may not seem to be a unique achievement in newfangled time, but it is crucial to understand the context of this era. At that time, there were no junior divisions or great, so from defeating Angott to Maxima’s fight, Robinson jumped in opposition with an area of ​​40 pounds, equivalent to the seven division.

In the boiling fire of the Yankee stadium “Sugar Ray” built an advantage on the cards. Before Robinson ultimately is exhausted in round 13, falling on canvas, Judge Ruby Goldstein could no longer last and was replaced by Ray Miller, a shocking reflection of the conditions.

It will stop being the only one Robinson suffered during 201. After losing his ponderous weight, he once again took part in maintaining the title of medium weight, and two successful KO against Olson strengthened him.

The aura of invincibility began to decrease in relation to the raw, larger medium medium weight. Ralph Jones spoke him before Gene Fullmer won the crown in tough 15 rounds. With his back against the wall, Robinson replied in the only way he knew, fighting the man he defeated him.

He immediately converted Fullmer, landing, as many call, “the biggest left hook he had ever thrown” to get the notable KO, once again he avenged his defeat in the rematch to become a four -time medium scale champion. This reign would be his shortest, because the battle of Carmen Basilio tried to imitate Robinson’s multiple success.

Similarly, the former welterweight master, “The Upstate Ation Farmer”, won the next two magazines of the Ring Fight of the Years, absorbing the absurd punishment against Tony de Marco before he prevailed in a gruesome grit show in a classic return.

Then he competed in the next fight of the year against Johnny Saxon, and the couple fought three times in 11 months. After a cruel form in his run in welterweight, Basilio never wanted to let go in the near future and brought Robinson an infernal attack.

The couple organized a brutal 15-round screw, and both men consumed a lot of punishment. Basilio made a great victory. Inevitably Robinson won the rematch, recovering the lanes for the fifth and last time.

Two Robinson’s fights – Basilio were just as violent as any in medium weight history and were the winners of the Fight of the Year award in 1957 and 1958. While Robinson fought the two winners successively, Basilio was in the stunning four fights for four fights for the winner of the year in a row, winning three.

Nobody would envy the war by Basilio, which survived in 1955–1958, incredibly he and Gene Fullmer released the slaughter in Fight of the Year in 1959. Another five fights are a record that will be a time test.

After the fifth medium weight title, Robinson returned from failures in a way that very few imitated. His record was 141-6-2 (91 KO). In the first decade he was unbeatable, and the next decade he got involved in the most iconic struggle of history, he shot the greatest knockout we have in the film and, most importantly, took revenge on every warrior to ever accept his title. 20 years at the summit was recognized as the only warrior in history who won the decade player twice, both in the 1940s and 1950s.

Robinson’s career lasted for the next five years, but he was never the same warrior. Paul Pender caught the Robinson belt for the last time, which was now 38 years elderly. Gene Fullmer gave him a draw and defeat, while Denny Moyer and Brit Terry Downes won further wins, with him at the age of 40. There were still good wins against Greaves, Moyer and Ralph Dupas, but his run at the top ended. 13 out of 19 Robinson’s careers came after his 38^th birthday.

Robinson withdrew from sport in 1965 at the age of 44. His farewell struggle was a failure for Joey Archer during 10 rounds. His record was 174-19-6 (109 KO). Robinson scored 21 wins against Hall of Famers during 29 fights – he defeated the following Hall of Famers:

Bobo Olson (4-0 3 KO), Fritzi Zivic (2-0 1 KO), Sammy Angott (3-0), Rocky Graziano (1-0 1 KO), Kid Gavilán (2-0), Henry Armstrog (1 -0), Jake Lamotta (5-1 1 KO), Randolph Turpin (1-1 1 KO), Carmen Basilio (1-1), Gen Fullmer (1-2-1 1 KO).
