Gene Fullmer couldn't get in his favorite combination against Ray Robinson; left hook, right, headbutt, headbutt, headbutt, headbutt, headbutt , headbutt, headbutt. Great boxer but one of the dirtiest ever.

@eluminated I agree. This nonsense about Sugar Ray being over the hill, past his prime etc. The Middleweight division was loaded with great fighters in the late 40's through the 50's. Marcel Cerdan, Tony Zale, Rocky Graziano, Fullmer, Randy Turpin, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta, Kid Gavilan, Tony DeMarco etc. It was brutal. Not even Robinson could keep his record unblemished with that deep a pool of talented, tough competition.

@clawbear You can look it up on Boxrec.com. Fullmer fought Robinson four times, Fullmer won two, Robinson won once with this knockout, and one draw.

@Snako85 Even if Fullmer had beaten the count, it wouldn't have mattered. Fullmer was out on his feet, and only the referee was holding him up. He had no idea what had just happened.

The photograph of this left hook was used as the picture for the title page in World Book Encyclopedia's entry on the sport of boxing for the the collection dated 1960 to 1974. Plus I've heard too many boxing historians, hall-of-fame trainers, hall-of-fame fighters call this left hook that best one in boxing.
