Ultiminio Ramos Zaqueira (2 December 1941 – 3 September 2017) was a Cuban-born Mexican professional boxer who was better known as Sugar Ramos. Ramos fought out of Mexico where he was adopted as a national hero. He was a world featherweight champion and member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.




Exile


Ramos won the Cuban featherweight championship belt in 1960 and defected to Mexico City when Fidel Castro came into power.




Famous bouts


In Mexico, Ultiminio "Sugar" Ramos built his historical career. On 21 March 1963, Ramos had a bout scheduled at Dodger Stadium. On that day, Ramos severely beat Davey Moore. In the 10th round, Moore was knocked out. Four days later, Moore died from injuries sustained to his brain stem. This was similar to Ramos' twelfth professional fight in which José Blanco died from injuries sustained in the fight.
Ramos would defend his title three times including against Ghanaian challenger Floyd Robertson, via a controversial split decision victory.
Ramos lost his titles in 1964 to Vicente Saldivar after the fight was stopped in the twelfth round due to cuts. Ramos then moved up to lightweight, eventually earning a shot at then champion Carlos Ortiz in 1966. Ramos would lose the fight via fifth-round TKO, and then an immediate rematch by TKO in the fourth round.
He continued boxing until 1972.
