Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)

You may not have heard of them Slim but they were the Kray twins, British criminal gangsters.

Walker Smith is Ray Robinson. He was given that name on fight night and it took hold. Sugar was not his personal name, he was given it by the sports writers.
P4P was created as a means to express how great he was at potentially any weight.

One of the few who didnt have to invent a character.

Ali called himself the greatest. Tyson called himself the baddest man on the planet. Mayweather called himself TBE. But Ray Robinson was given the name Sugar and the accolades of being considered Pound for Pound the best!

Decent enough, loads of heart all things considered for sure. Saw this little piece on him a while ago. I never realized how self righteous Ferdie Pacheco was on him fighting. Really backwards thinking to me regarding guys 'risking injury'..the man adapted to carry on and it's certainly not an advantage.

Arce for sure, good vid, one who goes under the radar most often. Donaire too and I think Macho Camacho came up short at welter at the hand(s) of Trinidad.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know why I thought his 2nd fight with Duran was a title fight. Probably just remembered the announcer saying championship boxing, not for a championship.
