A few days ago, a painting of former boxing champion Sugar-Ray Robinson was auctioned at Christie's in New York, and the result was a staggering $35 million. Created in 1982 by the famous painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, the abstract style shows Robinson's place in the public mind.

Robinson (1921-1989) was a legendary middleweight champion of the 40s and 50s, surpassing the famous Muhammad Ali in terms of pure performance, and even Ali called Robinson "teacher". Today, when the relevant media selected the greatest fighter of all time, Robinson has never fallen out of the top three, so his strength and influence are self-evident.
