SKY SPORTS 1 NOW! Sugar Ray Robinson!

Not in person, obviously - but a biopic. Worth a watch if you don't believe that black and white era fighters existed/were any good.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up until his first retirement there's no doubting he was the greatest of them all.

Agreed - although a Harry Greb highlight video might look pretty impressive as well.

Stylistically, however, the grace and poise of Sugar is unmatched. Beautiful in the ring.

Gets unfair criticism for his performances upon his return where he was still able to pull off the odd great win but at his best losing only 3 times in 130+ fights facing the opposition he did was phenomenal. Will hopefully catch a re-run of this at some point, any good?

Bit simplistic - but contained some fantastic footage, none new (as far as I could tell) - but still good to watch.

Wish there was more footage of his WW career so we can make a good comparison with the other sugar ray who I believe is p4p the best I have ever seen.
