    Sugar Ray Robinson is regarded by boxing historians--at least every one I've encountered--as THE greatest fighter of all time. Anyone who has seriously looked at his record would have trouble coming up with anyone who was better.

    • @Lava1964
      @Lava1964 10 років тому +5

      Sdk ElMaruecan When boxing was important, certainly the heavyweight championship of the world was the most important individual title in sports, but that didn't make the heavyweight champion more skillful than the champions of lighter weight categories. Ray Robinson, at his peak, had a pro record of 128-1-2 and had a 91-fight undefeated streak. There is virtually no film of Robinson as a welterweight when he was absolutely unbeatable. As a middleweight, Robinson was a notch less skillful than he was as a welterweight--yet he's still generally considered the greatest middleweight of all time. There are a lot of boxing historians who don't consider Ali the greatest heavyweight ever, never mind the greatest fighter ever.

    • @Lava1964
      @Lava1964 10 років тому +3

      Sdk ElMaruecan I understand your point. Indeed Ali was the best known fighter of all time, but solely for his ring exploits Ray Robinson is at the top. When boxing fans talk about the greatest pound-for-pound fighter they are usually referring to what goes on inside the ring and not beyond it.

      For me, boxing became irrelevant when there became so many governing bodies that there were a proliferation of title holders in each weight class.
      Since then, while I uphold the right of anyone to make a living and risk their body and mind to make a living as a boxer, the necessarily violent nature of the sport becomes less and less appealing to me as I grow older.
      Jerry, the Floyd Mayweather - Conor McGregor fight occurred a few days before I posted this. Since you made some comments vis a vis boxing and UFC, I am wondering what opinions you had about the fight.

    • @loissimmons6558

      An indication of the high regard with which experts held Sugar Ray Leonard is that no one felt it disrespectful to bestow the same nickname on him as that given to Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Hillsdale College, mentioned by Mr. Stewart, has a fascinating history. Founded by abolitionists in the 1840s, Hillsdale admitted black students from the very beginning and soon thereafter became the second college in the US to admit women. During WWI, the college refused an order from the Wilson administration to segregate its ROTC program, and in 1956 withdrew its football team from the Tangerine Bowl because Florida would not allow its black players to participate in the game.

    This is the second episode in a three week period to have a connection with middleweight boxers. That was one reason that Bennett thought at first that it might be Rocky Graziano. Pier Angeli one of the MG's on the June 17, 1956 broadcast, was a co-star in the movie about the life of Graziano that was released that year. Robinson's defeat of Graziano to successfully defend his middleweight title was the next to last fight in Graziano's career.

    Wow, over 2000 views and not one comment so I'll insert one. Sugar Ray had nearly 200 professional fights over a 25 year career which is almost unheard of. In spite of earning over $4 million boxing (a huge amount for that time) he was broke by the time his career was over. He was a very popular fighter and considered one of the greatest "pound for pound" fighters of all time, although it was learned later that he was not so great of a husband or father. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

    I'm only into 1956, and this is still a great game show, and John's a good host, but he still ruins the entire show by flipping over those cards all the time!! they may as not even HAVE a game show; there's no purpose to it. They just usually automatically win anyway

    Judge Seymour Robinowitz died Nov 7, 2006 (a little more than 50 years after this show). 1912-2006. So he was 44 when this show aired. Arthur Miller remained married to Marilyn Monroe for five years.
