Ask fight fans who the greatest boxer is and they would probably say, pound for pound, Sugar Ray Robinson.

Robinson was poetry in motion, a peerless puncher who elevated the sport to an art form. He moved beautifully and punched in seamless combinations, rendering adversaries senseless with surgeon like precision.

Movie star looks with a magnificent body, Robinson cut a dashing figure in and out the ring. Sugar Ray was so classy, people gladly paid money just to watch him jump rope.

Virtually unbeatable as a welterweight Robinson gave up the 147 pound crown and went on to win the middleweight title an unprecedented five times.
