No shoe shining here. The best combination puncher ever. The balance, timing, leverage, speed, and power all synchronized perfectly. You just never get tired of watching this!
I actually think SRL was a more precise puncher. Taking nothing away from the original. Either way it way like a magician sticking swords in a basket! 😂😂
To remember that virtually all of the fights shown here represent Sugar Ray in his thirties, including his late thirties and even his forties and seeing that hand speed and hitting power gives just a glimpse of how good he was at his peak.
haNZAgod I just recently got a poster of Robinson-Gavilan 2. I've been looking for that fight for a while now. Shame it's not here for our viewing. The Robinson-LaMotta saga and Robinson-Armstrong would be nice too.
I baffles and saddens me that there is footage of other great fighters all the way through the 40s and there is footage of Robinson as a 19 & 20 year old in about 1939/40 and footage of Robinson in the 50s when he's in his 30s but there is NOT ONE FULL fight of Robinson at his absolute best 😭 .... seriously wtf were they thinking about back then.... apparently Robinson had an amazing 10 round fight with Gavilan 2 years before their welterweight title fight... you'd think the dumbass cunts would have made it a point to film the rematch.... it's fucking tragic 😟
Kohl423 biggest tragedy is that we never saw any fights in his prime, closest we got is his golden gloves fights holy shit that body combinations while he's going back in footwork
Most complete boxer ever! Ray Robinson was perfection. Could fight inside and outside as a welterweight and middleweight! His combinations were an absolute MASTERPIECE!!
@Rodageado 1st off. Prime for prime, they weren’t even in the same weight class. 2nd, Ray was every bit as affective at Middleweight as he was at lightweight. 3rd Roy has never dealt with anyone as well rounded as Ray. In order to beat Robinson, Roy would have to take a lot of punishment, and I’m not convinced that Jones would be tough enough to survive Rays artillery.
Best all around ever. Fast hands, great combinations, footwork, defense, ring sense, durability-he had it all! Better all around than Ali or anybody else I've ever seen or heard of.
Sideboob. It is said by many who followed Robinson's career from its earliest days, that he was at his supreme best as a lightweight. This is where his reputation for being pound for pound the finest fighter in the history of boxing was born. Unfortunately, no footage exists of him fighting as a lightweight or earlier in lighter divisions. He was a remarkable, eccentric and vastly talented man.
@@DGA2000 This is true. But at that point SRR was too old, having weathered too many wars. He should've immediately challenged Maxim to a rematch then retire.
Ray robinsons jab is what ali learned from Angelo dundee who was taught it from rayRobinson Larry Holmes legendary jab came from that same school George foreman learned that jab after ali beat him let me keep going and its all truth it is the judge jab< Emmanuel steward who is the greatest trainer of champions to ever live man taught that same jab to lennox lewis Tommy hearns and to Vladimir klitscho you ever heard of Tyson fury? He hired Emmanuel stewards nephew who taught him that judge jab and it turned fury into a world champion no man ray Robinson in the sport of boxing is god< simply put he'd beat Leonard he'd beat Hagler he'd beat Duran he'd beat hearns he would of figured fkoyd mayweather out too he was super fast strong and extremely intelligent the real absolute dream fight of all time would of been ray Robinson in his prime against roy jones Jr in his it would take a roy jones in his prime to even have a shot at beating ray Robinson
If Robinson was a baseball pitcher: He'd have a 112mph fastball, a "hey, wait, where is it" slider, a 7-foot arc curve ball, an optical illusion knuckleball, a you-drop-your-chin sinker, a get-out-of-the-way changeup, .......and a "what-the-heck was That". That was the bag of arsenal he had as a puncher-boxer.
My God, Mr. Robinson was best ever. And i see why, he kept on attacking even he was being hit. Hot Damn that was special, like he was a beautiful piece of iron.
1:50 Throws 2 left jabs First jab connects. 2nd is a feint and follows it with the left hook for the KO. That combination is risky because it leaves you open for a counter right hand after the feint. But if your jab is strong and you have the quickness, it's damn near impossible to stop.
Ali agrees with you - he has been quoted saying that Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest ever and he's only the greatest Heavyweight ever... Look it up on Google, it's there ~
deacon theseer There's video of him saying Sugar Ray Robinson is the best Pound For Pound, type in Sugar Ray Robinson highlights on RUclips and click the first video. Both are amazing, I rate Robinson as the GOAT though
The feints and in and out movement is incredible the speed of the triple hooks to body and head combined with power just amazing imagine seeing these old tapes with todays camera and footage ot wpuld be like watching a.completely different t sport to what we know today. Stunning
he's the only one from those era that i can watch and think "even today he'd be a world champ" , those guys had heart and guts and fought every months .. but boxing wasn't as much a "sweet science" back then they do look kinda sloppy. Exept SRR
Actually, that's unfair statement to call boxers in the older as sluggish. They are NOT. In fact they are more fundamentally sound than most boxers today. Boxers today are bigger and more athletic but most of them, even with the world champions, don't know how to fight. There are also a lot of athletically gifted boxers in this era: Johnny Bratton, Ray Barnes, Chuck Davey, Billy Arnold and so on.
the mafia asked ray to take a dive for the last LaMotta fight... He said he doesn't do business like that... What was the mafia going to do, send someone to beat him up? The greatest fighter of the age? Also so beloved that it would be catastrophic on the organization. He was so popular, he would literally stop traffic. People absolutely loved him.
My goodness. Robinson would have cleaned up everything from 147-168 without question in today's world. The modern style likes to sit on their shots and Robinson was ALWAYS on the balls of his feet. The in and out darting, traps, slips and combos would have been too much for anyone. I can't see anyone keeping up with him. He could box from the outside, brawl on the inside and could knock you out with either hand upstairs or downstairs. Forget about it. Hanza brother, thank you again.
I don't think any fighters from todays era could handle the schedule these guys use to fight at alone fifteen round championship fights twenty fights or more a year non title bouts inbetween championship bouts literally fighting all over the world can't compare different era's
I've heard about Sugar Ray for a long time but paid little attention. I watch boxing today, with today's fighters. But now that I've seen some of these clips I'm blown away. This guy was a bad dude. Just watch this guy! He had the moves, the hand speed and power over the top. Sugar Ray would have given even the best fighters today more than a run for their money. I actually think most even today would have had a real problem with him.
Wow the hooks to body and instant switch to head. Also a lot of these old guys through hooks with the body momentum to gain speed and power totally diffrent than the muscular arm.hooks.of the modern era this is more body weight behind them and speed incredible
There's been a lot of fighters with the word sugar in their name(Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Shane Mosley, Sugar Rashad Evans, and any other sugar), but we all know which one of these sugars was the sweetest in that ring.
Great idea! I think combinations could be a really good focus for many fighters' highlights, you could even start a new series of hl on it just like the defence ones, but the "homerun" single shots often steal attention from it. Not on this channel, fortunately
Thought I'd make a new Robinson highlight before I go back to my favourite boxers series. Beautiful combinations!
Saw this in my recommended sidebar, thanks so much.
haNZAgod could u please make a Chad Dawson one
I'd rather not to be honest mate, I don't rate him much at all.
haNZAgod alright Bro no problem I think he was a good fighter as a right handed southpaw with wins over adamek Bhop * Jean pascal* Antonio Tarver
@hanNZAgod good decision, can't ever go wrong with the sugarman.
No shoe shining here. The best combination puncher ever. The balance, timing, leverage, speed, and power all synchronized perfectly. You just never get tired of watching this!
Beautiful comment
He really knew how to fight clinchers as well with the fast body combos.
Its amazes me how he has so much power without turning his foot
I actually think SRL was a more precise puncher. Taking nothing away from the original. Either way it way like a magician sticking swords in a basket! 😂😂
@@yaodon2390 good analysis
He wasn't just fast and coordinated. Every shot was a BOMB
I suppose he didn't really understand the concept of jabs. Killer punches mahnnn
@@aashishsharma9106 he actually threw his jab quite often.
@Captain Africa nice joke🤣
He would extend his arm out while punching then retract it, that generates a lot of power also his balance and footwork were perfect.
Hold my beer.....so it doesn't spill when he knocks my ass out lmao ..r.i.p to our legends .. I wish I had their skill
To remember that virtually all of the fights shown here represent Sugar Ray in his thirties, including his late thirties and even his forties and seeing that hand speed and hitting power gives just a glimpse of how good he was at his peak.
I just wish the Robinson-Gavilan fight film existed. I'd practically do anything to see that!

He turned boxing into a work of art.
I never get tired of watching this man.
The perfect fighter. I see why my husband never stops talking about him. He would murder anyone from 175 on down.
Not Roy Jones jr
erikcarrillo33 he koed gene fullmer
@Rodageado Roy would survive if he managed to stay away from Sugar. But Tarver proved that his chin was a liability, especially as he aged.
@@carterpewterschmidt6251 prime roy jones would of been too much for Robinson.

Unbelievably balanced, incredible timing, beautiful to watch, and like most have said, we'll only see a fraction of it
They say there is no videos of him in his prime
Best all around ever. Fast hands, great combinations, footwork, defense, ring sense, durability-he had it all! Better all around than Ali or anybody else I've ever seen or heard of.
I love his footwork and jab. What a power…best boxer ever
Turkce diline çevir
and to think, they say the best SRR was never even filmed
He was the best in 1940's and so was Ezzard Charles. And unfortunately there are no footages of them in prime time.
There actually is some footage of him at welterweight, just very little of it and not so good quality.
Yes his days in the Lightweight division. Most film of that period is lost.
ihopetowin He was never a lightweight though was he? He started at welter I believe.

When you stop Fullmer, LaMotta, Graziano and Turpin, you're a beast.
Multiple times
Believe it or not Fullmer beat SRR twice. SRR beat him once and they fought to a draw once.
@@DGA2000 This is true. But at that point SRR was too old, having weathered too many wars. He should've immediately challenged Maxim to a rematch then retire.
@@ballo3595 Agreed 100%. I was merely stating the statistics. No one stood a chance against SRR in his weight class at his prime...
@@DGA2000 burley at 147 begs to differ. Heck, even at 160.
You see Leonard doing all these flashy things. This is man he adopted his characteristics from.
The perfect combination of speed, power, technique and precision. Truly the GOAT
He could have killed a horse with the beating he gave Jake LaMotta.
Luckily Lamotta was a bull

This is a brilliantly edited video. Well done.

Lmaoo
and footwork
Leaning hook to the body, rising up on the toes shooting two more hooks to the body and then up top..never seen before nor since.
Sugar Ray Robinson is the definition of the sweet science...Who can have A dream of killing a man in the 10th round & it actally happens?
Sugar Ray had the left hand of God - and the right hand of an ogre - swift, sweet, lethal, great...
💯
This man would be unbeatable today.... he fought in the most dangerous, serious, and competitive time in boxing....
He beat a bunch of slow white boys
I agree 100 percent
My favourite boxing channel!
Thanks bud glad you enjoy!
@@hanzagod Take care, brother!
The mix of fluidity and aggressive. Wow!
The best left hook in the game
GOAT
Dude that beat is amazing.
If Robinson was a baseball pitcher:
He'd have a 112mph fastball,
a "hey, wait, where is it" slider,
a 7-foot arc curve ball,
an optical illusion knuckleball,
a you-drop-your-chin sinker,
a get-out-of-the-way changeup,
.......and a "what-the-heck was That".
That was the bag of arsenal he had as a puncher-boxer.
My gosh I love sugar ray Robinson 🥊🥊🥊
My God, Mr. Robinson was best ever. And i see why, he kept on attacking even he was being hit. Hot Damn that was special, like he was a beautiful piece of iron.

That combination is risky because it leaves you open for a counter right hand after the feint.
But if your jab is strong and you have the quickness, it's damn near impossible to stop.
I remember one commentator put it the best.he said simply when Ray was at his peak he had no weaknesses
with all due respect to Ali this is the greatest

With all due respect... Hell NO
Cryer24597 What? Harry Greb and Robinson and Ezzard Charles had a greater record than Ali. Tunney was more better than Foreman or Frazier.
Damn it , don't be hard headed . Ali has already admitted that he was 2nd to Robinson " pound for pound"
Would he survive today?.........Unquestionably, he would. Some fighters send shivers up my spine, he was scintillating.
Best i have ever seen. How on earth did he throw his punchers from so far back. Amazing
I thought exactly the same thing. So un-textbook but he was very effective.
He Mastered his reach...
Today is the 100th birthday of the greatest boxer Sugar Ray Robinson
The greatest combination in boxing history
Masterpiece of combos
I wish I could download this so I could add it to my motivational videos, good stuff.
1:18 so on beat😂
Archie Moore, another great, said of Robinson; "I'd rather watch him hit the speed bag than watch most other boxers fight."
The feints and in and out movement is incredible the speed of the triple hooks to body and head combined with power just amazing imagine seeing these old tapes with todays camera and footage ot wpuld be like watching a.completely different t sport to what we know today. Stunning
Awesome...
That left hook on BoBo was so accurate
Sugar ray robinson is a time traveler using morden boxing technique against sluggish 50's era boxer. That's how it feels watching him
he's the only one from those era that i can watch and think "even today he'd
be a world champ" , those guys had heart and guts and fought every months .. but boxing wasn't as much a "sweet science" back then they do look kinda sloppy. Exept SRR

Like I always say, don't let his smile fool you that's just how his face rests.
That straight right hand at 3:01 was violent!

The best example of a boxer-puncher
Gawd damn that left hook is 5 fingers of death!
He would Merck Floyd
Floyd wouldn't even beat the likes of Leonard, Hearns, and Benitez, let alone Robinson.

Really great punches
Simply brilliant fighter. GOAT conversations never have much validity to me in any sport ....except maybe Ray Robinson.

Pound for pound Greatest

Enjoy the footage, there will never be another Sugar Ray Robinson
So much power in both hands. When he hit people strange things happened to them.
I'm no Boxing Genius or anything, but the Combinations and Speed reminds me of Roy Jones Jr.
big shout out for the music man!!!
