Best pic of SRR ever, all the rest are just boxing pics, this one says all who he was! He was a great fighter but he was even better at just being 'sweet sugar'.

Sugar Ray Robinson was in an off the wall movie Candy (1968). It starred Ewa Aulin. It was an all star cast featuring Ringo Starr John Astin Walter Matthau James Coburn Marlon Brando really a strange film. It reminds one of Barbarella 1967 with Jane Fonda.

This movie ? Man, it was ahead of it's time (1968) concerning the subject matter.
Sugar Ray must have taught him that right to the thorax that he delivers. The Hoboken Express.
