Sugar Ray Robinson

            
             Sugar Ray Robinson was born on May 3, 1921.His mom and dad got divorced when he was young. As a boy Robinson took tap dancing lessons(these helped Robison a lot while boxing),and Sugar Ray took small menial jobs as a shoe shine boy, window cleaner and delivery-boy in a local vegetable and meat markets during the day. This was during his childhood ! Do you work now? Think about how early he had to go to work instead of getting a good education.
              Did you ever want to meet Sugar Ray Robison one of the most famous fighters worldwide? He fought in every state in the US! Robinson fought in 202 fights! Now that's alot. He won most of his fights; he won 175, lost 19, drew 6, and didn't go to 2 of his fights. Robison started his career in October 4, 1945 and retired two times, but on one he came back. His career oficially ended in December 10, 1965.
