A biography of Sugar Ray Robinson, world welterweight and five-time middleweight champion, whose career spanned three decades. Before retiring in 1965 at age forty-four he won 125 consecutive fights, with victories over Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, Gene Fullmer and Randy Turpin.

Written by Amsterdam News reporter Herb Boyd with Robinson's son, Ray Robinson II, with a foreword by Percy Sutton, the book is a portrait of a complex man and his family and of Harlem, the place he chose to call home.
