Sugar Ray Robinson doesn't fight anymore because he's dead.

Answer 2

First off i've never heard of Roy Robertson but im pretty sure you mean Ray Robinson. He isn't fighting anyone because he's dead (He died of Alzheimers in his 60's). He fought in the 50's and 60's. He was the best boxer pound for pound ever because he fought anyone and everyone. He had 40 something straight wins until his first loss against Jake LaMatta and went on to beat LaMatta 5 times after that. After his first loss he had 93 straight wins (including 2 exhibitions which he won so really 95). Most figthers don't even have 95 fights! He went 95 without losing. Thats amazing. In his Amature career Robinson went 85-0 with 69 KOs (49 in the first round).

Sugar Ray Robinson is the original "Sugar" and his record was 175 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws, with 108 KO's and most of his 19 losses came in his last few years in the ring where he was only fighting for money and was well past his prime.

Muhammad Ali said himself Ray Robinson was "the master" and his idol.

Answer 3

As other people have said, I think that you mean 'Sugar' Ray Robinson. He is credited as being the Best Pound for Pound boxer of all time based mainly on his boxing record.
He is best known for his 'tear-up' fights with Jake La Motta (the guy that the film Raging Bull was based on). He died of old age and the (also) great 'Sugar' Ray Leonard personally asked if he could use the 'Sugar' tag - as it was such an honour!
Try doing a search of his name for more info.

Answer 4

If you mean Sugar Ray Robinson, then he doesn't fight anyone anymore, because he's dead. He was a great and I mean Great Middle weight in his prime.
