	Robinson's amateur record is usually listed as 85-0 with 69 knockouts, 40 in the first round. However, he lost to [[Billy Graham]] and [[Patsy Pesca]] under his given name, Walker Smith Jr. He also has been recently found to have lost and drew against [[Charlie Baginski]] and also lost to [[Harvey LaCelle]]. Out of the 57 wins boxrec has found of his claimed 85 wins, only 25 were by knockout, so the 69 knockouts claim with 40 in the first round are clearly not correct. If he did have another 28 wins, and for arguments sake won them all by knockout, it still wouldn't add up to 69 knockouts.

			*Madison Square Garden announced on November 14, 1941 that world welterweight champion Freddie (Red) Cochrane would be defending his title against Sugar Ray in early February 1942. However, the announcement was slightly premature because Cochrane's manager, Willie Gilzenberg had been suspended by the NYSAC (for instructing Cochrane to hold back in the early rounds of his non-title 10-rounder with Lew Jenkins) and stated there would be no contract signed until his suspension was lifted. The controversy became academic within 3 weeks as the U.S. entered into World War II, which froze all titles as boxers and champions alike enlisted. Robinson would not receive a title shot until 5 years later.
	*On February 27, 1943, Robinson was inducted into the United States Army. He toured Army camps with [[Joe Louis]] and boxed exhibitions for soldiers.		*On February 27, 1943, Robinson was inducted into the United States Army.
