    From the Olympics where he arguably won Gold, won the MW, SMW, LH and HW titles, and dominated fellow HOFers Toney and Hopkins.

    Did he earn the "Sugar" Nickname or not?

    I think the TS is a little confused about how the "Sugar" name works.

    He had the silky smooth style and the accomplishments. Of course he earned it. He's the GOAT.

    It's kind of a running joke. Ray Seales didn't earn it.

    I think it has to be blessed by the man himself, or at least by Leonard. Both Leonard and Mosley fought with a similar look to them as Robinson when they were young. Jones was altogether much less stylistically similar.

    There are only 3 legit "Sugars":
    Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, and Nikolai Valuev.
