Whats with the "Sugar"?

"Sweetness" Allan green

 

You're not black are you?

Me neither - so i dont understand it either

I'm pretty sure it's some black vibe thing - you know, sweet as sugar

 

sweet as sugar.

 

I think one of the old boxing scribe's in the states made the comment that Ray Robinson was "To Sweet 2 Beat"

Ray Leonard took it upon himself being the "ego mainiacs ego maniac" since then it's a few who rated themselves 2 be in the SRR fistic mould have done the same, another is Sugar Ray Seales the 72 Olympic Gold medalist.

Bert Sugar is one of the scribes that said he'd wished SRR had copyrighted the "Sugar" moniker as no one should be allowed 2 compare himself 2 the original SRR:smoke

 

Nicknames have always been recycled.......it seems "Sugar" is like "Lil" in hip-hop.

You ****er

 

According to Ron Borges in HBO World Championship Boxing sportswriter Jack Case, who saw a young Robinson fight at the Salem Crescent Gym in New York in 1939, told Robinson's manager, George Gainford, "That's a sweet fighter you've got there." "Sweet as sugar," answered Gainford. The nickname "Sugar Ray," like manager Gainford, would be with Robinson for the rest of his career.
