    So we all know the original, Sugar Ray Robinson, but what about the people who have used his nickname since then? Do all of them really deserve it? I honestly laughed when I saw that the guy from 'The Contender', Ishe Smith, was calling himself 'Sugar Shay'.

    :patsch

    Anybody who damn well feels like it. Fans can tell the difference between Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Sugar Ray Seales.

    Let fighters call themselves what they want - the verdict of history will determine which ones are great and which ones ain't. :nod

    I thought Mosley got the name simply because he could put together combinations like Ray Leonard, not necessarily because he was thought to be as good as Ray Robinson or Ray Leonard.
