    Sometimes he jabbed lazily and there's actual FILM FOOTAGE of this. Yeah, FILM!

    Sometimes he took the shine of his jab and dropped a slow one in, trying to bait a premature slippage. Lovely variety. What a great fighter.

    This just in:

    Half of Robinson's fights where done with a hologram of a black man. Reports claim that nobody can prove that they actually touched him those nights thus the theory is now at least 50% solid.

    Man makes me sick.

    Sometimes he dropped his left after bringing the jab back! And yeah, a few times he was OUT OF POSITION. A glorified tomato, dat's all he wuz.

    Right it's settled. I'm writing a book about this:

    'Sugar Ray Robinson: No Skillz'

    The other half were just painted into the film afterward by rather talented cartoonists.

    Unlike Robinson.

    1980 montreal Duran, Peak Thomas Hearns, Peak Leonard, Pryor, these would of gave Robby a battle. note, Robinson was a lightweight for quotea few fights before moving to 147 he fights pryor at 140. note, im getting tired of my own notes.

    DOesn't matter what his jabbed looked like 'at times', fact is, the man could shut out world class opposition virtually with that one punch.

    Unbelievably good fighter.

    Walker Smith, Jr. -the skinny truth behind the myth-building machine that created "Sugar Ray Robinson". He was an average fighter at best. The Fullmer KO? lucky punch. Lamotta? He never got him down. Turpin II? ref-on-the-take.

    You're sick of all the praise because he jabbed lazily in your opinion. He wasn't totally perfect. Crazy to even start a thread on this considering your silly reasoning to start it.
