Today is the birthday of arguably the greatest boxer that ever lived, Sugar Ray Robinson. However, it is also the birthday of the man who will one day overtake him as the GOAT, Kell Brook! This surely isnt a coincidence. It's like it was written in the stars. Anyway, enjoy some Sugar Ray footage :thumbsup [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VLWBVpL23k&feature=fvst[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUYhjX64pDo[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql2jscsVcjE[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l2PC5It1HI[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7C-ihyCWjs[/ame] Try not get too attached tho, Brook footage to follow Fell free to add your own footage of the greatest. Include some Robinson too if you like

Wow! Its so hard to tell them apart. I'm just guessing that the black and white footage must be of Robinson, but I'm not 100% sure?!?!? Eerily similar.
:deal If only Robinson had Brook's footwork and jab :-( Anyway, I've posted my findings on Twitter: @Dvano1: Surely it's not a coincidence that @SpecialKBrook shares his birthday with Sugar Ray Robinson @EddieHearn? #GreatnessFollowsAPattern :conf
