Sugar Ray Robinson (1921 – 1989)

One of the greatest boxers of all-time, Sugar Ray Robinson died of Alzheimer’s at the age of 67.

With a record, 173 wins, 19 losses, and 2 draws, Robinson held the welterweight and middleweight title belts. It is, however, unknown whether his head injuries contributed to Alzheimer’s disease.
