Footage of Sugar Ray Robinson as a welterweight

[Dizaster]

There's not much footage of him as a welterweight at all which was considered by most to be his most natural weight class.

anyway I noticed it somewhere else, its not great quality but pretty rare.

Is that speed up ? because his speed looks unreal.

All old footage looks faster than reality, I'm not sure if cameras filmed at a higher rate of frames per second in those day but they were faster.

I have spent ages trying to find SRR's early fights, years in fact. I keep hoping they will find some old reels in some broadcasting company's cellar or some shit.

Do you think their could be more SSR fights that were recorded that aren't readily available?? I guess that most of his later fights would have been filmed at least....

There should be a boxing archives company set up to gather up all that sort of stuff...
