Who was closest to Sugar Ray Robinson stylistically?

easily 1940s ezzard charles he was a carbon copy of sugar ray

 

Charles Burley

 

ummm no..........charley burley was alot like max schmeling and archie moore. he was nothing like SRR. watch 1940s charles and robinson both the same fighter the way they throw punches and the way they move

 

Some say that Robinson's defence was not great, i disagree, his brilliant footwork that allowed him to move in and out with the most powerful and speedy attacks were a great defence in itself imo. I think Shane Mosley was goin' for the same style, just not as good at it

 

Johnny Bratton.

 

Ezzard Charles
Ike Williams

 

Ezzard Charles.
prime Shane Mosley.

 

Bingo! Mcvey.

More China in his chin but the same silky smoothness, ferocity, flare for the dramatic and taste in threads.

 

Ez was like ice, a cold dispatcher, a precursor for Donald Curry, but no heat.

Ike had Sugar's arsenal and temperment -- a stone killer!

 

ike williams is a strong choice

 

John Garfield, whats your opinion of 1950s lightweight jimmy carter?

 

When Jimmy was "off the leash," SQ, he was a destroyer, a poised predator with as compact a left hook as you've ever seen -- a helluva fighter!

 

Arguello is more like Louis ,imo he had pretty slow feet,not a SRR characteristic

 

Burley was a wily evasive boxer /puncher who used feints and upper body movement to get his opponent to commit so he could counter,he didnt get hit as much as SRR.
