I haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share this very cool Sugar Ray Robinson card.

I believe this set was issued by the weekly British publication Boxing News. The image was also used for one of Robinson's Exhibit cards that @Curt_Burner shared. It's the same size as the Exhibit cards, but the card stock is thinner.

Robinson is listed as the welterweight champion, so I'm guessing this card was released at some point between 1946-1951.

A couple months ago I posted about boxing's Four Kings, so today I thought I'd showcase cards of a few other fighters. Although I don't have many, there’s something timeless to me about boxing collectibles. They’re almost like pieces of American mythology from eras when champions became cultural icons.

1947-66 Exhibits Ray Robinson 🥊 Legendary Boxer All-Time
IMO, Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer of all time.
Notwithstanding, many consider Sugar Ray Robinson the greatest boxer of all time, often ranked above Muhammad Ali in pound-for-pound discussions due to his incredible 91-fight winning streak and technical mastery.
This is my only card featuring Sugar Ray Robinson.❤

1947-66 Exhibits Ray Robinson 🥊 "Sugar Ray"
This is one of my favorite boxing cards.
Sugar Ray Robinson is almost universally regarded as the greatest boxer of all time, or at the very least, among the top two or three in history.
Most boxing historians, fighters, and analysts—including ESPN, The Ring Magazine, and the International Boxing Research Organization—rank Robinson as the greatest pound-for-pound boxer ever.
