A beautiful promotional photo of "pound-for-pound" great Sugar Ray Robinson... The photo is from Robinson's brief entertainment career and has been boldly signed and inscribed as a tap dancer in blue fountain pen ink... One of the nicer signed Robinson photos I've had!!

"I want to tell you, if I was due a dollar, I felt I wanted that dollar. If I could help a man make a dollar, I thought I deserved a part of it. And I took a stand to get that, and if they didn't pay me I didn't fight. And if something came up that could prevent me getting my end of the money, I would call off the fight. I learned to help a lot of people because, listen, man, I never had nothing. I was very poor all my life. A poor family until I got started fighting, and I know what it is for people to need, and this is why it gives me as much of a feeling of helping."
