Why is Sugar Ray Robinson not mentioned among the greatest chins in history?

To be fair, he was knocked out once by a puncher who even Robison admitted hit him the hardest stating with his words... had him flopping like a fish. The man's name is Artie Levine.

Idk man, I feel like Robinson could be easily hurt if actually faced with elite punchers. He had plenty of wars but none of them are actually against big punchers. LaMotta fought monster punchers such as Lloyd Marshall, Bob Satterfield, Bob Murphy, Joey DeJohn, Billy Fox, Sugar Ray Robinson and none of them actually knocked him out despite hitting his head flush round by rounds.

 

Graziano says hello.

 

Although you're right about it. It doesn't saya much actually about his chin. He didn't get hit a lot of murderous shots. Overall, he still had a granite chin regardless... just maybe below the top

 

It is. So bloody close.

 

It makes my skin crawl. Especially when it’s done to identity with the fighters to prove some weird often insecure opinion. It makes me want to barf.

 

I think it’s something most forget about, everything else about Ray is so… unmissable. I think his ability to last with who he did for as long as he did had more to do with Wylei’s teachings then Ray having a head of concrete.

 

as Journeyman said, it gets innocently forgotten because of ALL of the other SRR attributes.

THE Greatest, PERIOD, there is none like him.
