Sugar Ray Robinson
Datum narození: 3. květen 1921
Datum úmrtí: 12. duben 1989
Sugar Ray Robinson byl americký profesionální boxer. Málokterý boxer přišel ke své přezdívce tak kuriózním způsobem jako zřejmě nejlepší šampión všech dob ve velterové váze „Sugar“ Ray Robinson. Přestože se narodil jako Walker Smith Jr., své první zápasy absolvoval s vypůjčenou registrační kartou bývalého boxera, který se jmenoval Ray Robinson. Jeho přirozený talent začal brzy poutat pozornost. Když ho poprvé viděl boxovat budoucí kouč George Gainford, prohlásil, že jeho pohyblivý styl je „sladký jako cukr“. Ostatní souhlasili a přezdívka se brzy ujala.
