The greatest of all time! The absolute last thing that I've yet to cover until now of the legendary SRR is his excellent body punching. His left hook to the body was lethal and his combination punching was second to none, he had a beautiful straight right to the body also and stopped many of his opponents with that shot. At his absolute peak Robinson had an astonishing record of 129-1-2 and after this went on to beat the best Middleweights of his era, truly the GOAT. Also just to let you all know I'll be on holiday for 2 weeks starting from tomorrow so there wont be any main uploads on the channel for a little while but I've got some shorts and posts scheduled so stay tuned and more to come soon!
For all Ray's grace and elegance, he never passed up the opportunity to get into a fire fight with whoever was unlucky enough to be standing in his way.
Idk, he wasn't too good as an infighter. Most of his punches were quick scoring punches as opposed to planting his feet and landing harder shots (and he would back off as soon as an opponent started firing back)
@@clarkkent8286 Right he wasn't an infighter but he was capable in that situation when his opponent insisted on it. By "back off as soon as an opponent started firing back", I think you mean, stepped outside of his opponent's range as they threw at him, missing him entirely and opening up the opportunity for Ray to counter.
@@jpa5038 he was everything imo. Of course, a dancing outside master. But a fantastic infighter as well, Ali copied that body to head attack- going from the torso up to the head, called it "shoeshining".
@@clarkkent8286 No, they were hard. A lot of guys would back up or shell up. And many were put on the floor by his barrage of body shots. One opponent was literally carried back to his corner after being saved by the bell.
@@clarkkent8286 While Robinson wasn't a pressuring in-fighter - he knew how to in-fight. Robinson's punches weren't soft. He had more power than Sugar Ray Leonard and his left hooks and left uppercuts were more powerful than Tommy Hearn's. His combinations were meant to attack the solar plexus (down the middle) to expose the ribs and liver to the sides. Planting both feet to emphasize power punching combinations is something brawlers and sluggers do. Robinson was a boxer-puncher who could in-fight, box, or brawl - depending on the situation. He was adept at planting his rear foot only to the point of allowing him to slide unto the balls of his feet (for defensive pendulum bounces, steps, and pivots). Remember, the object of boxing is hit, don't get hit, and hit again.
Most of this footage is of him past his prime..over half a century ago with none of the modern nutrition or fitness training. And yet he's more explosive and better coordinated then any fighter today.
It's only fitting to use such a great song with such a great fighter. It's mind-blowing how many fights he had and how many he won. He really makes a strong case for being the greatest of all time.
when opponents tried to get close to him, he stood his ground and brutalized their body. That rear uppercut to the ribs and that looping right to the kidney were beautiful.
Mesmerizing edit. That sweeping right to the kidney is a real interesting set-up shot you don't see very often. Key to the Fulmer KO among others. Pernell's "routes to the body" is still my fave, but this is right there with it!
@BennyNegroFromQueens Floyds went to the body consistently whenever he ended up on the inside. His body jab and level changes/feints which threatened a body attack opened up lanes for his lead right hand and lead left hook. Most people only see Floyd repeatedly landing lead right hands and not seeing what set it up.
I against I Mos Def. Very scientific track from a extremely lyrical rapper. Just like Robinson who was extremely scientific by the way he fought. Great content like always.
What great pieces of art you create with these videos. You’ve taught me a lot about the history of boxing and the skill of these greats. Thank you for your service my good man!
His body shots, unmatched, his combos, beautiful brutality, the top fighters he fought, were HOF's and the best at the time, he'd beat most fighters in his divisions in history. SUGAR RAY ROBINSON IS THE GOAT.

They remembered SRR for jabbing and landing beautifully combinations on the head, but what they don't know that he had a great body punching that set up to put away on his opponents with follow up punches to the head. Great video.
Beautiful Demonstration... One night, I noticed there are two parts, of the body that resemble a speed bag.. the heart and the brain... Ray's the Greatest..
Yeah considering the fact that Muhammad Ali never ever went to the body of his opponents. I always wondered how his game plans would’ve resulted if he did.
ottima osservazione, ci stavo pensando anche io. Forse non e' possibile copiare tutto quello che faceva Robinson, Ali non riusciva a copiare tutto. Leonard ne ha eguagliato la velocita', ma Leonard non aveva la stessa potenza di Robinson. Sembra davvero Leonard con i missili di Hearns, e con la resistenza di Hagler, tutto in un unico uomo. In ogni caso nessuno fra Ali nei massimi, ne Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, hanno mai steso gli avversari colpendoli al corpo come faceva Robinson.
1:35 what a sick combination a barrage of crazy body shots than multiple uppercuts to the face and the kill blow that some crazy combination you saw in anime or something.
Although Charles did compete at Middleweight his prime was contested at Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight, it's not really a fair match-up against a natural Welterweight.
I was born in 56 every wknd my dad an avid boxing fan would tell me about the greats. Being from Detroit of course Louis and Robinson. Robinson was that generations Michael Jordan..Nobody before or after comes close. Oh and Ike Williams would have gave Duran hell
To all you floyd mayweather fans, your witnessing the greatest boxer who ever put on a pair of gloves. Floyd might be the greatest defensive fighter of all time, but Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest offensive fighter of all time + more. You can't win on defense alone. The greatest of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson 😎
@hanzagod I know that I mean the kidney shot specifically were his holding that guy head and punching him on the kidney it reminds of George Foreman doing that.
Archie and Ray were friends. Archie thought a bout between them would sell quite well. Ray's response to fighting Archie was "with a baseball bat". Archie Moore has the most KOs in the pro ranks ( a record that will stand forever). Instead Ray boxed Joey Maxim who was a weak puncher but an all time great.@@hanzagod
@@vincentfisher1603 I mean can you blame him? Robinson was a natural Welterweight not a Light-Heavy lol. Certainly not something I'd hold against him that's for sure.
@@vincentfisher1603 Who else would you have wanted Robinson to fight at Welterweight and Middleweight? He practically fought everyone, his resume is incredible - greater than Floyd's. Sounds like you're a hater to me to be honest.
We've got quite a bit of footage of Robinson in his prime at Welterweight and just after, we've even got film of Robinson as an amateur! Some of it is in this highlight.

Formidable work yet again.

Great song choice. My Noogah Blade!
So many boxers emulated him
sugar ray robinson was a good inside fighter for a guy thats 5'11
Great video!🦾💯
Such a destructive power... And so beautiful... How the hell can some people hesitate that he is the best ever?
Pound For Pound the greatest boxer in history
One of the elements of Sugar Ray Robinson style that Muhammad Ali didn't copy. The inside fighting and body punching.
Yeah considering the fact that Muhammad Ali never ever went to the body of his opponents. I always wondered how his game plans would’ve resulted if he did.

That uppercut to the solar plexus 😮

He punch so damn fast
Pls Loma routes to the body, he has insane body shot knockouts e combos on body
I've done a ton of Loma videos already at this point and my last one I only made a couple months ago. Maybe one for the future but not for a while.
Imagine guys like SRR, Pelé and Wilt had all the luxury's modern athletes have.
No one flurries hooks to the body like SRR did
