Sugar Ray Robinson - Prime?

[Kiid Dynamite]

Sugar Ray Robinson is considered as the best of all time.

Which years was he at his peak and what fights of SRR showed the greatness that everybody talks about today?

There's only rare, bad footage of Robinson when he was at his best, which was at welterweight. Not unlike Ezzard Charles, who was probably the greatest light heavyweight of all time but never got a shot at the title due to mob politics, Robinson was clearly the best welter in the world and had to wait a hell of a long time to get a shot, and is now more popularly known as a middleweight because of all those great fights and titles. He was undefeated against other welterweights, going something sick like 128-1, with that one loss against the middleweight LaMotta. By all accounts, Robinson was at his best in the 1940s.

I wish there was clear footage of him at welterweight. Would be great to see.
