Boxing / Déro / Ray "Sugar" Robinson / USA
Robert Décremps, alias DÉRO (1920-2000)
Caricature of Ray "Sugar" Robinson
India ink on paper, signed, captioned
50 x 39 cm
Original illustration for Pierre Cangioni's "La Fabuleuse Histoire de la Boxe" (1977).
It's quite a feat to sum up a career as prolific as Robinson's (1921-1989) in a single image. He was as sweet as sugar, but won 173 victories in 200 fights. Mobile, hard-hitting, with a devastating left hook, he took down La Motta as well as "smoked" Fullmer. World welterweight and middleweight champion between 1946 and 1960. The best boxer of the 1950s.
