    For some reason I see a bit of SRR in Wilfredo Gomez and Orlando Canizales.

    To me I think these guys come closest to Sugar Ray Robinson's brilliant style.

    Kid Chocolate (Robinson said he emulated him and admired him as a boxing hero).

    I agree to the extent that Chock-o-latte was a precursor in style to Robinson, but I doubt that Sugar Ray ever saw him fight or that his style was directly derived from the Kid.

    Also Roy Jones when he fought with more of a textbook style against Hill and during the Olympics. Adolfo Horta from Cuba as well.
