Did Sugar Ray Robinson Have Any Flaws?

Robinson's defense primarily relied on his height etc, that's why at WW he wasn't in danger the way he was at MW and LHW. As a boxer-puncher he was always vulnerable to swarmer/pressure fighters as most of them are.

 

I think Benitez at his best would make anyone look bad atleast for a couple rounds...

 

Good post. I think Ray cruised at times but at other times he didn't too.

All three of your examples killed a guy in the ring, which i thought you were actually leading up to. Do you think this had a little to do with taking it easier than they could have at times? I've seen a lot of talk that it took a bit out of Charles killer instinct.

You're well researched, what do you think?

 

Cheers George. Have a great Christmas mate.

 

I dont know. Thats a good question. Its hard to say with Robinson and Charles because they killed fighters before we have a lot of film of them. Griffith always fought that way though.

 

Fair enough mate, good point.

 

Dude, how old are you? I used to visit a bar in Portland, OR that was supposed owned by Bobo. Guy had an interesting career and life after boxing.
