Sugar Ray Robinson (born Walker Smith Jr.; May 3, 1921 – April 12, 1989) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1940 to 1965. Robinson's performances in the welterweight and middleweight divisions prompted sportswriters to create "pound for pound" rankings, where they compared fighters regardless of weight. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. He is widely regarded as the greatest boxer of all time, and in 2002, Robinson was ranked number one on The Ring magazine's list of "80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years".
1. Floyd Mayweather decisions Manny Pacquiao in best-selling PPV everAt the end of the previous decade, the two welterweights were regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and they first seriously discussed fighting in 2009.They didn’t meet, though, until May 2, 2015, finally putting an end to the annoying question, “Do you think Floyd and Manny will ever fight?” That question caused boxing journalists to have nightmares.The bout became known as “The Money Fight,” because Mayweather made more than $200 million and Pacquiao earned in excess of $100 million. Mayweather won a clear unanimous decision in a fight that wasn’t nearly as good as it could have been several years earlier.It sold 4.6 million on pay-per-view and generated a $72.2 million gate.2. HBO exits boxing after 45 yearsAfter being the lifeblood of boxing since the early 1980s, HBO called it quits in 2018 and gave up on boxing broadcasting. Its first boxing broadcast, in 1973, was a heavyweight title fight between Joe Frazier and George Foreman.It televised bouts involving most of the greatest stars of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. But it was losing the battle for the top fights near the end and wasn’t getting the interest from its subscribers it once did.3. Floyd Mayweather signs with Showtime in 2013Mayweather rocked the sport in 2013 and probably hastened HBO’s departure when he left the network after 15 years and signed a deal with rival Showtime.With Showtime, Mayweather broke the pay-per-view sales record twice and exceeded two million sales in a bout three times.4. Legendary heavyweights Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier dieThe rivalry between Ali and Frazier defined a generation. They were two of the greatest heavyweights who ever lived, and among the most popular. Their March 8, 1971, bout is still regarded by many boxing historians as the most significant bout int eh sport’s history.They fought three times, with Frazier winning the first when both were undefeated and had a claim to the heavyweight title. Ali won the last two, including the memorable ‘Thrilla in Manila’ in 1975.Frazier died of liver cancer on Nov. 7, 2011, at 67. Ali died on June 3, 2016, of septic shock at 74.5. Boxing returns to network TVBoxing was a staple on network television in the 1950s and 1960s, but scandal, the development of cable and the emergence of other sports pushed it off the networks in large part.But since 2015, there has been regular coverage of boxing on free, over-the-air television in the U.S., a significant accomplishment in helping to drive interest in the sport. It first came to NBC and is now with Fox, though there were also fights on CBS this decade.6. Al Haymon creates the Premier Boxing ChampionsAl Haymon was known as one of the top boxing managers when in 2015, he created the PBC. It used many of the elite fighters that Haymon had signed and created a major entity putting on shows.Haymon also opened his wallet and paid larger than customary purses, helping improve boxers’ financial situation.7. Boxing goes digitalIn 2018, streaming came to boxing, with DAZN and ESPN+ becoming part of the sport’s lexicon. DAZN had an outlandish budget and signed Canelo Alvarez to a record $365 million contract, one of the richest ever given to a pro athlete.It meant that the biggest star in the sport would no longer compete on either network or cable television.DAZN faced competition in the streaming space from ESPN, which went all in with stream as per the company’s management at Disney. ESPN+ debuted and became a must-have destination for fight fans in short order.8. Floyd Mayweather fights Conor McGregor in boxer vs. MMA fighter boutThis might have been the first fight made via social media. Mayweather was already retired but regarded as among the greatest fighters of all-time when UFC champion Conor McGregor began campaigning for a fight against him.At first, both sides laughed it off, but the media and fans took it seriously and soon the fight became a reality. There was an elaborate pre-fight media tour that went from Los Angeles to Toronto to New York to London.The fight did 4.3 million on pay-per-view and generated a $55.4 million gate.9. Emergence of fresh blood at heavyweightThe Klitschko brothers, Wladimir and Vitali, dominated the early part of the decade. Vitali Klitschko retired after injuries kept him from competing and he became mayor of Kiev, Ukraine. Wladimir Klitschko was racking up title defenses until he was beaten by Tyson Fury, and then in a compelling battle with Anthony Joshua.Fury and Joshua fueled huge interest in the United Kingdom, but Deontay Wilder emerged in the U.S. to win the WBC title and earn recognition as one of the hardest punchers in the sport’s history.And then Andy Ruiz Jr. scored a massive June 1 upset of Joshua to become the first boxer of Mexican descent to hold a piece of the heavyweight title. The decade ended with the heavyweights in a great place.10. Oscar De La Hoya goes in and out of rehab multiple timesDe La Hoya is one of the leading figures in the sport’s recent history and was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014 in his first year of eligibility.But he was plagued by addiction issues and went into rehabilitation multiple times, missing a huge Canelo Alvarez fight as well as a Bernard Hopkins bout when Hopkins became the oldest man in boxing history to win a world title.

Floyd Mayweather signs with Showtime in 2013Mayweather rocked the sport in 2013 and probably hastened HBO’s departure when he left the network after 15 years and signed a deal with rival Showtime.With Showtime, Mayweather broke the pay-per-view sales record twice and exceeded two million sales in a bout three times.4. Legendary heavyweights Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier dieThe rivalry between Ali and Frazier defined a generation. They were two of the greatest heavyweights who ever lived, and among the most popular. Their March 8, 1971, bout is still regarded by many boxing historians as the most significant bout int eh sport’s history.They fought three times, with Frazier winning the first when both were undefeated and had a claim to the heavyweight title. Ali won the last two, including the memorable ‘Thrilla in Manila’ in 1975.Frazier died of liver cancer on Nov. 7, 2011, at 67. Ali died on June 3, 2016, of septic shock at 74.5. Boxing returns to network TVBoxing was a staple on network television in the 1950s and 1960s, but scandal, the development of cable and the emergence of other sports pushed it off the networks in large part.But since 2015, there has been regular coverage of boxing on free, over-the-air television in the U.S., a significant accomplishment in helping to drive interest in the sport. It first came to NBC and is now with Fox, though there were also fights on CBS this decade.6. Al Haymon creates the Premier Boxing ChampionsAl Haymon was known as one of the top boxing managers when in 2015, he created the PBC. It used many of the elite fighters that Haymon had signed and created a major entity putting on shows.Haymon also opened his wallet and paid larger than customary purses, helping improve boxers’ financial situation.7. Boxing goes digitalIn 2018, streaming came to boxing, with DAZN and ESPN+ becoming part of the sport’s lexicon. DAZN had an outlandish budget and signed Canelo Alvarez to a record $365 million contract, one of the richest ever given to a pro athlete.It meant that the biggest star in the sport would no longer compete on either network or cable television.DAZN faced competition in the streaming space from ESPN, which went all in with stream as per the company’s management at Disney. ESPN+ debuted and became a must-have destination for fight fans in short order.8. Floyd Mayweather fights Conor McGregor in boxer vs. MMA fighter boutThis might have been the first fight made via social media. Mayweather was already retired but regarded as among the greatest fighters of all-time when UFC champion Conor McGregor began campaigning for a fight against him.At first, both sides laughed it off, but the media and fans took it seriously and soon the fight became a reality. There was an elaborate pre-fight media tour that went from Los Angeles to Toronto to New York to London.The fight did 4.3 million on pay-per-view and generated a $55.4 million gate.9. Emergence of fresh blood at heavyweightThe Klitschko brothers, Wladimir and Vitali, dominated the early part of the decade. Vitali Klitschko retired after injuries kept him from competing and he became mayor of Kiev, Ukraine. Wladimir Klitschko was racking up title defenses until he was beaten by Tyson Fury, and then in a compelling battle with Anthony Joshua.Fury and Joshua fueled huge interest in the United Kingdom, but Deontay Wilder emerged in the U.S. to win the WBC title and earn recognition as one of the hardest punchers in the sport’s history.And then Andy Ruiz Jr. scored a massive June 1 upset of Joshua to become the first boxer of Mexican descent to hold a piece of the heavyweight title. The decade ended with the heavyweights in a great place.10. Oscar De La Hoya goes in and out of rehab multiple timesDe La Hoya is one of the leading figures in the sport’s recent history and was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014 in his first year of eligibility.But he was plagued by addiction issues and went into rehabilitation multiple times, missing a huge Canelo Alvarez fight as well as a Bernard Hopkins bout when Hopkins became the oldest man in boxing history to win a world title.

Atlas gives great insight into those days, recalls the first time he set eyes on a young prospect named Mike Tyson and much more. Atlas also discusses many of the stars he's trained, including Michael Moorer, Wilfred Benitez, Donnie Lalonde and others but it's after his light-heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk recently suffered a hurtful loss to Artur Beterbiev that shows him in a light you may not have seen him in before. It's compelling listening. Next week: Irish Micky Ward talks about The Fighter, the film of his life, the Gatti trilogy and so much more. Boxing Life Stories is brought to you by Hanson Lee Resourcing and DELCO Safety Compliance.

TRIBUTE TO Harold LedermanKevin Iole Yahoo Sports Combat columnist YahooHarold Lederman, a longtime boxing judge who served more than 30 years as the unofficial scorer on HBO Sports broadcasts, died Saturday at 79 following a lengthy battle with cancer.Lederman, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016, began judging boxing in 1967. In 1986, he joined the HBO Boxing crew, where he helped a generation of fans understand the rules and the intricacies of scoring boxing.His passion for boxing was obvious in his work and to anyone who met him. He was eager to talk about the great fight that was on television the week before as well as the hot young prospect he happened to see in person on an undercard somewhere.He gave up judging in 1999 — he worked his final bout, a super flyweight match between Eric Morel and Francisco Espitia, on Aug. 6, 1999, alongside his daughter, Julie — and spent the final 29 years of his career working on HBO’s boxing telecasts.A licensed pharmacist, Lederman was frequently in the arena long before the TV cameras turned on, enjoying the undercard bouts and talking with fight fans.Jim Lampley, who began working with Lederman at HBO Sports in 1986 and himself went on to earn induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, raved about his friend in a statement released by an HBO Sports spokesman.“It was one of the greatest privileges of my broadcasting career to work with Harold Lederman, whose unique humanity and lifelong love of boxing brought joy to the hearts of millions of fans, show after show after show,” Lampley said. “They waited for his moments, they were thrilled by his insights, they gloried in imitating his voice. No one in the sport had more friends, because no one in the sport was more deserving of friends. As deeply saddened as I am by his passing, I am equally deeply joyful that he made it to the final bell on December 8. Nothing was more important to the legacy of HBO Boxing, so in that we can all take solace. Now his scorecard is complete.”Lederman’s accomplishments are vast, and recognized by the awards he won. In addition to his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Lederman was also a member of the Unofficial: WORLD BOXING HALL OF FAME and the @Rockland County, New York, Sports Hall of Fame.In addition, he won the Boxing Writers Association of America Sam Taub Award in 2009 for career broadcast excellent. In 2006, in a choice which surprised no one who knew him, the Boxing Writers Association also honored him with its Marvin Kohn Good Guy Award.Lederman’s judging career covered more than 100 world title fights which were held on six continents. Among the significant fights he judged were Muhammad Ali Ken Norton ; Michael Spinks Gerry Cooney; Evander Holyfield Dwight Muhammad Qawi Larry Holmes Champ's Corner-Spinks; Marvelous Marvin Hagler FAN CLUB -Mustafa Hamsho; Michael Dokes-Mike Weaver; Wilfredo Gomez-Lupe Pintor; Donald Curry Marlon Starling; Cooney-Ken Norton; Roberto Duran-Carlos Palomino; Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson; James Scott-Eddie Mustafa Muhammad; Emile Griffith-Vito Antuofermo; and Griffith-Dick Tiger.He was known for explaining the scoring criteria succinctly and wasn’t afraid to criticize a score if he thought the judges got it wrong. Later in his career, HBO took advantage of his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport and his love affair with the game and recorded segments promoting some of its fights it dubbed, “Hey Harold.”“Harold Lederman had a lifelong love affair with the sport of boxing,” said Peter Nelson, the executive vice president of HBO Sports, in a statement. “Over the past 50 years he was universally respected and celebrated by the many people who make the sport what it is. Harold was happiest when seated ringside, studying the action and scoring the fight. When he joined HBO Sports in 1986 he added a new and critical component to live boxing coverage. Viewers embraced his unique style and his command of the rules while his broadcast colleagues relished his enthusiasm and boundless energy. He was a historian and walking rulebook. He always had time for you whether you were a heavyweight champion or just a spectator looking to say hello. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Eileen and daughters Julie and Iris. There isn’t a person in the sport who won’t miss our Harold Lederman.”CloseUp NextFollow your favorite Pages to see more videos.Fight Net RadioWrite a comment...

The ability to vote fighters into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. should be viewed as a great honor and taken seriously. Absent some other system, this is the way fighters of yesteryear have been honored since the early 1990s. This year's ballot wasn't an easy one to parse through, and many fighters seem deserving. From Erik Morales, Vitali Klitschko, and Winky Wright to Santos Laciar, Julian Jackson and Ricky Hatton, many fighters are in the running with legitimate arguments for getting in. On this week's episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, Compubox operator joins fellow boxing historian and site/show founder Patrick Connor in dissecting the ballots they mailed in and the reasoning behind their picks.

Let's face it: we all would like to attend the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend ceremonies every year. Not all of us can. Luckily, one of us at Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio can, and did! The IBHOF is the best-known of boxing halls of fame and considered the most important to gain recognition by. This year legends like Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia made it in, as did long-time broadcasters and non-participants Steve Farhood and Barry Tompkins. It was a huge year for the IBHOF, and boxing. This week on KGB Radio, Compubox operator and historian Aris Pina recalls his visit to the ceremony along with writer/historian Patrick Connor.

A special International Boxing Hall of Fame guest is part of our Big Fight Weekend preview podcast this week. Hear some great stories and reminisce about some of the biggest moments in boxing in the last 40 years with legendary referee, Joe Cortez. Cortez (above) worked over 170 World Championship fights, including with the likes of Mike Tyson, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and even more recent fighters like Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez. We also reminisce about this being the anniversary week of Muhammad Ali regaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Leon Spinks and also the mega World Welterweight fight nearly 40 years ago between Leonard and Thomas "Hitman" Hearns from Las Vegas in 1981. Cortez was also the referee for George Foreman's dramatic knockout win over Michael Moore making him the oldest World Heavyweight Champion of all time at 45 years of age. Relive that famous moment with the legendary third man in the ring. Then, Marquis Johns, Senior Writer at BigFightWeekend.com, is back in his customary role to help go over the news the week and the upcoming fight cards. First, we discuss the quick dismissal of Canelo Alvarez's $280 million lawsuit in California Court last week. What does it all mean and will he refile it? We also discuss the upcoming World Lightweight Title Unification showdown between Vassiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez and how there is apparently no rematch clause in their contract for October in Vegas. Finally, Marquis gives his insight on the two prominent fight card shows in the U.S. this week from Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut Saturday night and also, the Top Rank Boxing show on ESPN+ in the Las Vegas bubble on Saturday night, as well. We also present some betting advice if you're looking at both of those cards.
