    Sugar Ray Robinson has to be the finest club fighter. The odd visit to MSG does not disguise that he learnt his trade in many of Philadelphia's and New York's boxing clubs.

    Yep, a personal favorite w/ Ross the Boss. Too bad other heavyweights cannot hold their hands up high like this guy did. I also like his bout w/ Morrison and Vitali, although he took a major league spanking in that one.

    I thought a lot of other heavies should've fought him, but anyone signing a contract knew they'd be facing a guy that was going to be there at the end.
