    Carmen Basilio
    (Born Carmine Basilio, April 2, 1927 in Canastota, NY – November 7, 2012) was an American professional boxer who was the world champion in both the
    welterweight
    and
    middleweight
    divisions. He is also famous for defeating
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    to win the middleweight title. An iron-chinned pressure fighter, Basilio was a combination puncher who had great stamina, and eventually wore many of his opponents down with vicious attacks to the head and body. Basilio was inducted into the
    International Boxing Hall of Fame
    in 1990.
    The Ring
    magazine
    named him
    Fighter of the Year
    in 1957, while the
    Boxing Writers Association of America
    (BWAA) named him
    Fighter of the Year
    in 1955 and 1957. In 2002, Basilio was voted by
    The Ring
    magazine as the 40th greatest fighter of the last 80 years.
