14 fights in his last pro year at 44 years old. That's amazing!

It’s nice how they recognize all the former middleweight champions in that era and I love the respect the fighters have for each other

Robinson fought and beat a lot of great fighters in his career. No other fighter beat so many tough, tough guys. Robinson's era had the greatest collection of fighters. It was tougher to be a world champion back then. There was only one championship in each division.

Actually, there's multiple world titles back then, too. NBA, NYSAC, IBU, and Maryland are some of them. But back then these boxing bodies prefer to award their world titles rather than contested it. Anyway, I do agree that Sugar Ray Robinson fought in an era full of great boxers. (If he has the most toughest competition is debatable) At only age 22, he already has beaten the likes of Sammy Anggott, Fritzie Zivic, Henry Armstrong, Marty Servo and Jake LaMotta. Imagine only 3 years in your professional career yet your resume is already a sure-fire Hall of Fame record. That's how good this guy is.
