This period is now referred to as the era of the "Four Kings."

Ray really was AND STILL IS one of a kind. I followed all his fights right up until he finally hung up his gloves.The 80s in that weight division really was special and a golden decade for boxing.

Sugar Ray Leonard's speed and accuracy were legendary, but his footwork and ability to string together long, varied combinations were a thing of beauty. That sounds weird when you're discussing a brutal sport like boxing, but "beautiful" is the only word I can find in my vocabulary that even comes close to describing the way he fought.

Thank you for the ride down memory lane... He is my second all-time greatest fighter...

Remarkable and legendary icon.sugar ray legend.thats what i. Call him.god bless him.

Probably my 2nd favorite fighter next to Ali. Definitely my favorite as a kid growing up in the DMV area in the 70s and 80s.

Sugar Ray Leonard was my first favorite boxer, and is now my all-time favorite. I followed him since I was an 11 yr old kid watching the Montreal Olympics 1976. Sugar Ray Leonard, Legend.

I really like the narrator. He's funny as hell

His footwork is still just insane to me. He slide steps so smoothly. Edit: lol the Mayweather Jr. gf comment was gold

ive probably watched at least like 20 of these in the past few days love the longer docs

I been watching boxing since the 1980s and i think a lot of people dont realise how good SRL was, i seen em all and pound for pound hes the best IMO. Fastest hands barring probably Roy Jones , footwork, power, boxing skills and the brains. And above all always had that heart and guts to dig deep. A rare quality for someone so skilled.

@DeCurtaRican

25 күн бұрын

Ray had a slightly better blend of speed and accuracy with deceptively great power, but not quite Roy’s level of power. Jones had a slightly better blend of speed and power but was still very accurate, just not as accurate as Ray. Ray was faster than Roy Jones, and more accurate. Jones had a better blend of speed and power.

Ray Leonard, a very special fighter, with an unmatched skill and legacy.

@bencasey624 That was never practical because Floyd never fought as high as Middleweight and most importantly Hagler and Floyd fought in different eras, lol. Also by his own admission, Sugar Ray said that he only took the Hagler fight, because he could see that Hagler wasn't the same fighter. Especially after his war with Magabi, which was a great fight.

My first Boxing 🥊 hero ! Before Tyson, De La Hoya , Chavez and Canelo . That’s how Boxing became my favorite sport watching Amateur fights Sugar Ray and the 1976 Olympic boxing team! Memories 😊

Suger Ray Leonard is still one of my all-time favorites. He never ran from any of the great fighters of his era. He fought the best of his time and won them all. I didn't want to see him fight those monsters. People like Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, and the Panamanian Devil, in my mind growing up, were true monsters, and I thought Sugar Ray should never have anything to do with them. But he never backed down from any of them. That was truly amazing for me, to watch him go into the ring and not only survived but also flourished and became the winner.

Built different. Not at the time but he and boxers from this era and before would take punishment and history over health. Great video, as always.

Sugar had the sweetest science

Boxing used to be so much fun in the 70's, 80's and early 90's; these men were superstars, but what I didn't know is that some of these men were making more money than athletes in other sports like basketball, American football or soccer.

Super Ray is the most inspiring boxer in my mind

Ray Leonard one of the best to ever do it. Don't know why he doesn't get the props he deserves. TTPFP ever.
