Sugar ray robinson greatest
Sugar ray robinson
Walker Smith Jr, dit Sugar Ray Robinson, né le 3 mai 1921 et décédé le 12 avril 1989, était un boxeur américain. C'est l'un des meilleurs boxeurs de tous les temps ; C'est l'idole de Mohamed Ali
STYLES ET INFLUENCES.
Idéalement proportionné, Sugar Ray Robinson combinait puissance, vitesse et précision. Styliste à la pureté rarement égalée, il pouvait se transformer en redoutable frappeur. Jack Newfields analyse "Tout ce qu'on rêve d'avoir entres les cordes, Ray Robinson le détenait. L'aisance gestuelle, le délié du jeu de jambes, la fluidité et la précision des jabs, l'élégance dans ses déplacements, la foudre dans ses deux poings, le sens inné des esquives et la science des feintes, la vitesse d'exécution, et le geste juste au moment crucial. Tout un rêve !". Défensivement, Ray utilisait tout le ring grâce une fabuleuse mobilité. Son habileté à bloquer ou à éviter les coups aurait sans doute rendu jaloux l'immense Jack Johnson.
Jamais mis réellement hors combat avant la distance, ses quelques voyages au tapis (10 !) (Grispos, La Motta, Levine, Bell, Villemain, Graziano, Giardello, Wilf Greaves (à 2 reprises) et Archer (lors de son ultime sortie) réussirent cet exploit !) prouvèrent qu'il possédait également une grande capacité de récupération.
Souvent considéré comme le plus « parfait » combattant de l'histoire, sa boxe dépassait les notions de beauté et de magie. Même Muhammad Ali (qui était venu le supplier de devenir son manager avant son tournoi olympique de Rome, et qui lui servit bien plus tard (en mars 1965) occasionnellement de soigneur !) avoua : « Ray Robinson a été l'unique boxeur meilleur que moi de toute l'histoire. A une époque où ses adversaires potentiels étaient des vrais durs (Servo, Zale, La Motta, Cerdan, Graziano, Fullmer, Basilio?), Ray transforma ce sport brutal en véritable art ».

Muhammad Ali: A Career Remembered
This video was inspired by the vid Sonny Liston, "A Man" an excellent profile of both Sonny Liston the man and the standout boxer and champion, done by youtube user sonnyliston07. You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jZ6e4... . Check it out, it's worth watching.

Upon seeing it, I came up with an idea to do a similar tribute for Muhammad Ali, with the premise being that an Ali fan watching during Ali's disasterous match with Larry Holmes has multiple flashbacks to Ali's glory days in the 60s and 70s. Hence why all the past clips are in black and white, and all the "current" ones with Holmes are in color.

Music used: Shawshank Redemption theme (Brooks Was Here)

Some of the other fighters appearing in this video include: Holmes, Liston, Cleveland Williams, Karl Mildenberger, Archie Moore, Zora Foley, Brian London, Henry Cooper, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Jurgen Blin, and Jerry Quarry.

Top Fan: Muhammad Ali stays the greatest

Will Smith mingles with Olympic hopefuls as he shows his sporty side.
In case you wonder what Will Smith is up to ... well, it's not choreographing a new music video.

This is the actor practicing his long jump skills alongside British Olympic hopeful Yamile Aldama.

The Hollywood star is currently on a promotional tour for the latest "Men in Black" movie, but managed to fit in a meeting with members from Team GB for a workout in London (May 16).

Putting his athletic skills to the test, sports fan Smith enjoyed shooting some hoops, jumping or better dancing the hurdles and throwing a few punches.

SOUNDBITE: Actor Will Smith on which sport he would like to compete in at the Olympics, saying (English):

"Hmm....if I were competing? You know, I do have an affinity for basketball but I do love boxing, you know when I did 'Ali', as every actor who does a boxing movie "hey I could do this professionally" you know. I just really love the art of boxing and I liked how I felt and of course I was playing Ali so my mind was in a different space but there's nothing like that boxing ring."

Whilst Will's silver screen portrayal of boxing legend Muhammad Ali brought him an Oscar nomination, the 43-year-old said he doubts he would stand a chance against Team GB's Anthony Joshua in the ring.

SOUNDBITE: Actor Will Smith, saying (English):

(Reporter: "Has he got a bit of Ali in him, Anthony Joshua?")

"Listen, I put my hand on his back. I was like damn! It was like stone, I was like man listen, I have got to stay friends with this dude!"

And whilst Smith certainly had the cheers on his side, this sparring Olympic workout even takes the toll on some of Hollywood's greatest.
