IN one word "AWESOME", April 9, 2001
Reviewer: Thunda from Oz
Although I haven't purchased this video, I recently hired it from
the local video shop. Previous to watching this video I had only
heard the name Sugar Ray Robinson. Man what can I say, this video is
fantastic. I believe that it has so far been underated in other
reviews. Not only do u get 2 see Sugar Ray dishing out some serious
damage u get to see all the greats of the times and witness mammoth
battles. Any one boxer that can have 112 fights and 1 loss is pretty
bloody good. In the end sugar had about 174 wins some thing like 19
loses and 120 or 140 ko's-- most of the loss's coming after the age
of 40--
Just a correction-- Ali did say that 'pound for pound' sugar ray
was the greatest boxer-- but in true ali fashion he boasted-- 'pound
for pound I am the greatest HEAVYWEIGHT ever"
i cannot recommend this film enuf :)
Good bio of the original "Sugar Ray", November 6,
2000
Reviewer: Steve from Ohio United States
This biography has film clips of just about every Sugar Ray Robinson
fight available, some extremely rare. These clips of Ray's fights
range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. It also contains brief newsclips
of Robinson, usually accepting an award or talking to reporters.
Sometimes there are even newsclips of Ray's opponents, like the
brief one with Howard Cosell interviewing Carmen Basilo in 1958.
Robinson himself is interviewed frequently throughout the video,
although he's somewhat hard to understand at times. Most interesting
comment is from Muhammad Ali, who freely admits that Robinson was
the best boxer who ever lived.
