What was Sugar Ray Robinson's real name?
816093
Although this charismatic boxer was born Walker Smith Jr., he is best remembered as "Sugar" Ray Robinson. Born on May 3, 1921 in Ailey, Georgia, his parents moved the family to New York when Sugar Ray was a teenager to escape the prevalent prejudice in the South. It was there, in a Harlem gym, that he was first introduced to boxing. Sugar Ray visited the gym frequently, using a borrowed Amateur Athletic Union boxing card of a friend. The friend's name, incidentally, was Ray Robinson.

Sugar Bear was a commercial cartoon character created to help sell "Suger Crisp", the sugar coated puffed wheat cereal. It was originally just "Sugar Crisp" then they added more sugar and it became "Super Sugar Crisp". Sugar Bear also changed to "Super Sugar Bear" at this time. I think now the sugar content is reduced, and it is known as "Golden Crisp" now.\nAs to who voiced Sugar Bear, I have no idea.

Sugar Ray Leonard.  Ray Mancini is too small, Oscar wouldn't be skilled enough to beat him, he's a good durable fighter but Sugar Ray is far too classy and talented.

The singer is "Sugar Ray", and the song is called "When it's over".\n\nWhen it's over\nThat's the time I fall in love again\nAnd when it's over\nThat's the time you're in my heart again\nAnd when you go go go go\nI know\nAnd it never ends\nIt never ends\n\nComplete lyrics in the source.

The worst nickname?  Well, there was Choo-Choo Coleman, who didn't have any idea where he picked the name up, but I would have to agree with "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy.  And I remember David Letterman picking on Mookie Wilson.\n\nBest?  "Teddy Ballgame" (Ted Williams) says it all, but my choice would be "Li'l Abner", taken from the now-defunct comic strip, which was applied to Ron Swoboda.\n\nIncidentally, Mickey Mantle's given name was Mickey.  He was named for Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane.\n\nOther great names:  The Big Train (Walther Johnson), Meal Ticket (Carl Hubbell), The Iron Horse (Lou Gehrig), The Barber (Sal Maglie, so called because of he pitched batters close and inside), The Ol' Perfessor (Casey Stengel), Stan "The Man" Musial (he earned it), Yogi Berra, "Say Hey" (Willie Mays), "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio, The Vulture (Phil Regan), Blue Moon Odom, Mudcat Grant, The Wizard of Oz (Ozzie Smith) and Charlie Hustle (Pete Rose).\n\nPaul Waner and his brother Lloyd were known as "Big Poison" and "Little Poison" respectively.  Another brother act was Jerome "Dizzy" Dean and his brother Paul, nicknamed "Daffy."\n\nBob Feller was known as "Rapid Robert" and Tom Seaver was "Tom Terrific."  Nolan Ryan did not have a nickname, but his fastball was called "Von Ryan's Express" after a contemporary movie; later the "Von" was dropped.\n\nPumpsie Green (his given name was Elijah Jerry Green) was the first black player for the Boston Red Sox.  He received the nickname name as a child from his mother.\n\nA recent one, no longer applicable, is "Steady" Eddie Guardado.\n\nConnie Mack is entirely a nickname: he was Cornelius McGillicuddy.  And let us not forget Mark "the Bird" Fydritch (probably from "queer as a bird," meaning "wacky") or "Mr. October (Reggie Jackson).\n\n"Papi" in its various forms is a Spanish term of respect for a beloved elder (also equivalent to "Daddy") and has been applied to several Hispanic players, such as Edgar Martinez.\n\nYankee Stadium is still called "The House that Ruth Built," and the original Washington Senators used the nickname instead of their formal name, which was the Nationals.  The Senators were often described as "first in war, first in peace and last in the American League."  Casey Stengel was the first to call the Mets "Amazing".\n\nAnd that's the tip of the iceberg.

The best pound for pound boxer was Sugar Ray Robinson and a younger Muhammad Ali, both of which started before Sugar Ray Leonard, but I had to get my two cents in anyways. Note that Robinson often fought bigger and more muscled fighters because he was so good that he beat everybody in his class.
