Shakur Stevenson: Ray Robinson sugar was “Buns” and cannot defend

Shakur Stevenson reduced the sugar Ray Robinson in an interview, saying that he saw him as a poor fighter compared to the boys of that time. He thinks Robinson does not compare with Terence Crawford in terms of talent. Stevenson said that Robinson (174-19-6, 109 kos) could not hold his hands and defend himself.

Shakur: Robinson “Buns” (poor quality)

“It was bags. Cigar talkcriticizing Sugar Ray Robinson. “Look at it fight against Jake Lamotta. He hit him (Robinson) with non -stop hooks. Again and again.”

Robinson was at his best when he fought at Welterweight, where he collected a 41-0 record. When he first lost, he moved to the middle weight and was struck by the heaviest Jake Lamotta, who weighed with 16 pounds heavier than he is 160 compared to his 144.

Comment on “All White Boys”

“Sugar Rat Robinson? Who were struggling? All white boys. I don’t have reserved white boys,” Shakur said. “Some of them are good. Yes, I am,” Shakur said when he asked if he makes an argument that Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford is better than sugar Ray Robinson. “”

What Shakur says here sounds racist, and it is disturbing to say things like that. With the position given by Turki Alralikh, it is disappointing to hear.

Pull the Robinson tape

“We can lift ribbons right now from Sugar Ray Robinson, and then we see Bud Crawford. You can say -who is better. Who can hold hands and have a better defense, they will be a better fighter for me,” said Shakur.

Crawford lacked the power, ambition and work ethics that Robinson. Bud has been fighting once a year since 2020, suggesting that he lacks the same impulse as Sugar Ray. That counts.

Shakur was not about to compare -favorably with Ray sugar. So he used Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) as a, arguing that he is a better fighter. He did not mention that Crawford has a weak record, arid of elite levels. The only two remarkable fighters, Terence Beat, were the 34-year-old Shawn Porter and Errol Spence, a post-cotxe accident.

If we look at the video below, when Robinson fought Welterweight, you can see that it is a bigger punch than Crawford is today. This explains that all the knockouts are collected during their career.
