One of the biggest fallacies about prime Leonard was that he was some 'runner'. Dude was a killer. One of the best finishers at his weight class ever. After Ali and before Tyson, Leonard had that window where all of his fights were EVENTS. He was the marquee man. And often delivered.

He moved like Ali sometimes but was more than happy to stand toe to toe and throw them hands and did he ever do it with bad intentions. My favorite boxer of all time

Those combos are things you only do when youre training with a punching bag... and he did it on a human being... jesus

Sugar ray once threw 59 punches or was it 54 in one flurry. Who cares I guess, but in his prime was called “pound for pound the best fighter ever”. He was not “big” like Ali, or Foreman. He wasn’t the fastest. But he could be smarter, and he used your gloves against you.

One of the most calculated and Technical boxers I have ever seen. He was so Technical and graceful in the ring it almost looked theatrical

Greatest welterweight ever. As an amateur his speed was almost not human. Imagine amir khan speed in his prime with golovkin's power and lomochenko's footwork. It was utterly insane.

Yea that was sick

King Of Flurries. Those punches land with accuracy.

The harder he punched, the faster he got. Don't let that smile fool anybody, Leonard was out to seriously hurt the other guy, a pitbull in disguise.

Look at Leonard's footwork. His ability to make almost imperceptible change's to gain maximum leverage was amongst the elite.

Really good balance and core muscles.He was putting his weight behond all these punches... unbelievable.

I love watching his footwork too. The way he could shift his weight on a dime and slam one throw after the other with all his might. He was totally reading his opponents, knowing exactly where an opening was and BAM 😂

The greatest flurry I ever seen,came from Ray Leonard's amateur olympic box-offs, it was insane.

Nothing like a good flurry! Love seeing this every time - when someone has piss in the veins - red blood pumping fast - beautiful to see that fuk it, all out attitude along with the execution - Love Sugar Ray Leonard for that... Can u imagine how deep u have to dig to find energy to flurry like that, especially when tired!? Excellent ~

got mad stamina he wont stop one of me fave boxers

why his punches were so powerful for his size? He is standing on his toes leaning forward as much as possible when he is throwing adding that to fully twisting his body with every punch thrown. The fact he is leaning forward on his toes also takes one positive extra he can evade punches rather quick.

Sugar wasn't a terribly big puncher. He wasn't a one punch knockout artist. What he was was speed and pinpoint accuracy. A culmination of punches is what produced the knockouts.

Beast

Sugar Ray Leonard was basically Super Saiyan Floyd lol

The speed was amazing
