Sugar Ray Robinson Trivia Questions

Robinson’s smooth style earned him the moniker, which was later adopted by Leonard and Mosley as homage.

He suffered his first loss to Jake LaMotta in 1943 and ended with 19 defeats, far from undefeated.

He fought internationally, including a legendary series in Paris and a bout in Berlin, expanding his global fame.

Robinson won the middleweight championship five times between 1951 and 1958, a record for that division.

Robinson's official record totals exactly 200 bouts: 173 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws, and 2 no contests—not 'over 200'.

Though he famously read a paper during a fight, the knockout story is exaggerated; he actually won by decision after clowning around.

After a loss in 1943, Robinson went undefeated in his next 91 fights (90 wins, 1 draw), the longest unbeaten streak in boxing history.

He won titles in welterweight and middleweight only; the five-weight feat was achieved later by others like Manny Pacquiao.
