Description
Sugar Ray Robinson's autobiography is a remarkable tale of both triumph and struggle. Born into poverty in Detroit and New York during the Depression, Robinson rose to become one of the greatest boxers of all time, yet his journey was marked by both success and failure. Robinson's story is a testament to the power of black pride and resilience in the face of adversity. From his early days as an amateur boxer to his rise as world welterweight champion in 1946, Robinson's life was a testament to his unyielding spirit. With remarkable candor, he shares his experiences, including his time as a young GI fighting racial discrimination and his infamous fights against Rocky Graziano. This Da Capo edition of Sugar Ray includes a new foreword and afterword by Dave Anderson, providing additional insight into Robinson's later years in Los Angeles and the lasting impact he had on the world of boxing.
