Happy Birthday to one of the greatest boxers pound per pound in history. He would have been 95 years old today.

Let's revised his overall great career.

The Greatest to ever do it, that's his legacy.

It's amazing the parrallels with the 2 Sugar Rays.

Both born in May; both Welterweight greats; both with tenuous connections to Ray Charles, Walker Smith Jr changing his name to Ray Robinson, just like Ray Charles Robinson & SRL called Ray Charles Leonard after Ray Charles himself!

If only the could have fought each other!!

Happy Birthday to the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in history!

I was thinking the same thing. But, I'd pick Leonard to beat him in a prime vs prime fight. I believe that Leonard was a more complete boxer than Robinson

It's one of the dream fights I would have paid anything to see.

Two great WWs with few weaknesses, both with tremendous skills, but both willing to gamble in the pursuit if glory.

It would have been a fans dream.
