Sugar Ray Leonard wanted to be like Muhammed Ali, Muhammad Ali wanted to be like Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson wanted to be like Joe Louis, Joe Louis wanted to be like Jack Johnson and so on... we all have inspirations, don't let that stop you from trying to imitate anyone you admire or look up to! Because the greatest had someone to look up to as well.
George Foreman was the coldest out of everyone the Ali fight looked fixed
Joe Louis wanted to be nothing like Johnson. U need to watch the documentary about him called unforgiveable blacknes...

Big facts
Jack Johnson didn’t want to be like nobody but Jack Johnson.
80s boxing as a whole was a gift to life
Facts.
Right it definitely was the #1 best boxing it was and is a gift
Absolutely True Thank God For KZhead for most people would not know such a time existed.
So was WCW
Most definitely
I love the mike Tyson “perfect timing “ on almost every video
Its a running gag. Something would be missing if the BOOM PERFECT TIMING WASNT THERE
Some of my favorite running gags on the channel: 1.) Boom perfect timing 2.) Metal Gear Solid Death noise 3.) Tom brady as darth vader and belichick as palpatine. 4.) Cocayeen
You noticed that too huh
Boom perfect timing🗿
Sugar Ray Leonard had it all. Charisma, speed crazy skills. Boxer, role model, entertainer and Champion. Not only in the ring. But where it really counts in the heart.
Great comment 💪🥊 absolutely true!! Great fighter and rolemodel
Well said my friend

If he would not have had eye problems..wow..five years of inactivity is probaly 10 - 12 fights..we could have seen that greatness on display. Its like when Jordan went to baseball..what could have been!!!
I was a big Sugar Ray fan up until the Lenard/Hagler fight.
I didn’t know Sugar Ray had so much power with that speed
Ikr
Force=Mass×Acceleration Emphasis on acceleration Soo basically Sugar Ray =BOOM PERFECT TIMING!
Speed=Power
That uppercut after body blows so like Tyson
He threw punches and bunches, it wasn't that 🕐 lunch Tommy Hearns power, but the 3rd or 4th could put you down for sure.
U know it’s lit when you here “Boom Perfect timing “ ( Mike Tyson voice )
MALIK Post Fire Hahaha just heard that bit
Boom pethect thimng

Lmfaoooo 😆
Wait I watched the video before? 😂
Todays youth doesn’t realize how extremely quick Sugar Ray Leonard was. Lightning fast reflexes and punches. And he had knockout power. All that with his flare and charisma made him a fan favorite, he had such a huge ring presence.
Sugar Ray was the generation before me but I was able to watch Roy Jones. Leonard speed and accuracy is top notch
I think you make great points, but after watching a lot of boxers bios on here, the one thing sugar ray didn’t have is top notch knockout power, kind of like Ali. Great puncher but more tires guys out and doesn’t knock them out cold.
@@chrislewis5069 What? most guys are those types of fighters. One punch power with real skills is rare af.

I got goosebumps when Angelo told sugar ray Leonard "your blowing it now son you gotta punch Till u can't punch no more" 😲🤘
totally! Like straight out of boxing movie.
If he didnt, hed lose the fight! Only a champion could do something like that, and (imo) Hearns had a champion mentally too, but not the experience yet.
Straight outta a Rocky movie
Leonard was obviously losing the boxing match on all 3 scorecards. So he turned it into a brawler, stepping out-side himself becoming something else to win was (Extra-Ordinary)
@@abrahamjackson6019 agreed. sugar ray was a dog

Hey Joesph. You needa do a video for Sugar Ray ROBINSON TOO. Dont Forget Him
Lol all the clips were already preserved! Great videos though yup.
That fight vs Duran just bring tears to my eyes. What a golden times of BOXING
Facts.
Duran got bitched. He's an all time great no doubt but honestly, he lost ALOTT of peoples respects when he just up and quit like that.
@@awesomesause1116 nothing but facts 🎯
He beat Duran, Hearns and Hagler, the other greats of his time.
@@awesomesause1116 ..yeah Leonard clowned and ran like a bitch !!
Sugar Ray Leonard was absolutely Badass, when he stepped in the ring he put it on them. He's a TRUE boxing Legend.
His fight againts Hagler, I don´t really know how Leonard manages not to be KO by such a hard punches. Respect for both legends.
Pound for pound in his prime he imo was the best
An ass
People always talk about his footwork but the flurry of punches he threw with bad intentions and accuracy.. simply amazing.
Ali and Sugar Ray brought so much more to boxing than just pummeling your opponent. They had style, charisma, but also such nobility that they make you smile when you see them fight. Many don’t like him but Ray is my favorite boxer. Such an entertaining boxer to watch, especially with his speed. That’s why I prefer Welterweight over Heavyweight. And I mean he’s inspired by Ali and Bruce Lee man c’mon.
Why don’t many like him?
Hulk smash
@@apricotmadness4850 They don't like the fact he's compared similar to Mohammed Ali.
@Erich Von Manstein 🤣 You would Fight for a country that at the time didn't even respect you as a fellow citizen?
@Erich Von Manstein Really? He risked jail, gave up his belt and fought countless lower level bouts to get the chance to regain his title! He had the best quote of the sixties "no vietcong ever called me nigger!" Your the little bitch
His constant combinations are a thing of beauty. Its something thats lost in a lot of modern fights.
Yeah, that's why he's my fav boxer
@aaron pryor no modern boxers with consistent combinations like SRL. You are the casual
Its not just the combinations though. Hes so freakin accurate with every punch.

This coming from film legend optimus prime 8 no profile picture
Can we take time to acknowledge the fact that a boxing legend acknowledged a martial arts movie star as being good with his punches and understanding the human body and its mechanics
Fantastic documentary on one of the most beloved boxers in history. Sugar Ray was the total package - endless conditioning, superior focus/accuracy, and the most beautiful uppercut artist I've ever seen. All in a lovable guy that everyone could relate to.
Leonard is one of the few boxer's that kept all his money and is worth more then most present big name boxers, considering he made most of his money in the 80s that is very impressive.
And also appears to have his brain intact
That's only because Don King wasn't around to steal all of it yet.
The same with Oscar De-la Hoya and Goldenboy productions.
@@parkerbohnn nope oscar is dressing in fishnets, drug abuse and promoting , living off the money generated from canelo, ryan garcia etc lol
@@PULAG Don King predates Leonard... Leonard just didn't deal with him.
I watched all of these fights with my father. He's been gone 21 yrs now. The memories all come rushing back! Sugar Ray was a real class act. He had such speed and accuracy in his hands that lightning and laser guided munitions are green with envy! Thank you Sugar Ray...you're the best!
I’m with you, sir. I wasn’t around early enough to see this generation, and stayed watching things like Bowe-Holyfield as my first experience with my father, but I’ll always remember my father associating Duran with the ‘no mas’ episode, which he told me about when I was too young to even understand it. He died when I was still in high school but I’ve is also gone about 21 years now, as well. It’s become normal for me and has been as long as I can remember now, but it’s amazing when you stop and think, “what if he was still around? What if he was around seven years ago for this or that….”
Me to I used to get woke up by my dad he'd say watch this kid his incredible and Leonard fought everyone.
His flurries will always be so exciting and spectacular to rewatch... love his fighting style so much!!
Had the pleasure of meeting the great man in 2013 in the UK. Sugar Ray is a Legend!!
“No mas” has to be one of the most iconic moments in sports history.
Yeah because Leonard fought like a clowned and ran like a bitch
@@xxlionroarxxxxxxxx4438 ha, alright man...
@UCzz79CirzxoxhhsUloG_cYA you’re the bitch
@@xxlionroarxxxxxxxx4438 oh I thought it was duran who gave up in the middle of the fight like a bitch ?
Leonard won because he got Duran to fight soon after their first fight (which was smart). Duran was fat from partying after his big win, and had to dehydrated to much to make weight. Duran s body wasnt functioning, shut down, then the humiliation made Duran quit. (Some say he didnt say 'no mas', the commentator made that up) leonard didnt want third matchup against Duran. I think that tells us something.
Such a fast, slick and smooth boxer if you want to study any boxer to mirror in the ring sugar Ray Leonard is the guy.
James Grain There can be only one. Try to mirror/copy an all time great like Leonard n yer gonna fall on yer face, boxing used to be too tough a sport to be anyone but yerself. I totally agree if yer gonna show a kid a boxer show em Ray n tell his story, hes an inspirational boxing icon but to copy him ? It cant be done, hes a one off doing wat he done in a one off era vs the calibre of fighters back then. Boxings a pantomime gravy train now, its a pampered bitch boy era now, MMA is King Of The Jungle & its only a matter of time before amateur boxing becomes a feeder sport for it while pro boxing continues to slide toward becoming this eras Saturday afternoon pro wrestling.
That’s a good way to get your ass whooped repeatedly.
James Grainger I wouldn’t say mirror but instead take inspiration from.
SPIDERM0OSE Lol no. Boxing’s ratings are still extremely high. Yes the sport isnt as violent as it used to be but the numbers definitely aren’t dropping like you say they are.
Ray Robinson not Ray Leonard
Leonard wasn’t just a pretty boy who danced and boxed from the outside, not taking chances with opponents until the opponents got old. Leonard could go toe to toe and he could also box. He fought many greats in their prime.
Just couldn't go toe to toe against Roberto Duran
@@jaobille79 What u mean he couldn't. He lost only by points. If any other madman would've stand toe to toe against duran he would've fallen in round 3. It's a clash of legends.
Really? Toe to toe the great Mavin Hagler? Give me a break, Marvin Would have KO’d SRL in 3 rounds. Don’t get me wrong , he was a great boxer but not a toe to toe slugger.
@@bilbobagginssword3926he was dancing at first but when he went toe to toe he outboxed him, hagler more powerful so his hits look crazier
@@bilbobagginssword3926he would've ko'd sugar ray in 3 but ray went all 12 and won the fight? After a 3 year hiatus? Give ME a break😂
I watch this when I need motivation to keep boxing. All the old fighters have a charm that I don't see in many boxers today. When I get my ass kicked in sparring I watch these videos, they help me to keep going and be something great like sugar ray.

As someone who is a giant Ray Leonard fan, I commend you on this a lot. So awesome, the only man to defeat Haglar, Hearns, and Duran. He is the true king of boxing in the 80’s
Also he beat Benitez.
he didn't beat Hagler, judges did.
@@kartzstormstool861 he agreed
@@kartzstormstool861 whatever, hagler couldn't able to finish Leonard, he past his prime, and hagler was bigger in size and bigger puncher...
Ray said himself he lost
Watching all his matches in the 80s, man the memories, what a great time for boxing. That fight with Hagler, that was electric.
Ray Leonard's power was always underrated because of his speed, a lot of his opponents slept on his power until they got hit. One of the best fighters of his generation.
Of all time.
What power lol he’s an all time great but he had pillow for hands 😂

Your funny lol, my man
...He slips, and dodges alot of punches...it's pretty astonishing!..a boxer...Sugar Ray Leonard!!! 💪
what sugar ray says about respecting duran as a fighter but not as a man is sort of how i look at him in his treatment of marvin hagler, i don't respect how he picked and chose the circumstances of that fight, he was a great fighter and i admire him but his treatment of hagler is more offensive than duran's "no mas"!
Once again, this glimpse into history is beautifully put together. Beyond the world of boxing. The Ali piece was exceptional and it simply comes down to the purpose in which each of these men served. Like I said beyond the world of boxing. Kings
Even when Sugar Ray was a bit arrogant, he was still a gentleman and a sportsman. One of the best, cannot be argued. Inside the ring and out.
Miss watching fights and the Knicks in the 80’s with my Grandpa. The two of us watched countless hours of boxing and basketball together.
For the true Ray Leonard fans there should still be one more fight in this video...when Ray won the light heavyweight belt from Donny LaLonde in 1988. That fight made Ray Leonard a champion in three different weight classes in his career. Besides that, this was a great video!! Thanks
He almost took LaLonde's head off....
Try 5 weight classes welterweight light middleweight, middleweight super middleweight and light heavyweight
They fought at super middleweight actually. LaLonde was a LightHeavyWeight, but Leonard forced the promoters to have the fight at the lighter division,thus leaving LaLonde extra weight drained, which negatively affects strength and stamina. Leonard knew what he was doing. Very Strategically opportunistic. Just like demanding the Duran rematch be several months sooner than it really should've been.
Robert Decker yeah it was 168lbs but was for both titles as for Duran that was his fault for not getting into shape Ps I’m also a huge Duran fan
@@robertdecker4780 I could be wrong but that may be one of the first "catchweigh" fights.
What saddens me is that we will never see legends like sugar ray in high definition. In 4k. Grainy footage is abt the best we can get. Ray always seemed like a very smooth moving fighter.
Boxing is the theater of the unexpected you never know
Nice tribute to the best fighter in boxing history. Fastest hands and feet in the game. Punishing body shots, master counter puncher. Would love to meet the man, the legend. Much respect Ray.
Robinson would have whooped him
Man this dude had the fastest set of hands that ever got in the ring
Yeah him and roy jones , like machine guns
@@justinnicholson4737fr
Roy and Ali. Would've loved to see him fight Floyd Jr. I don't think he fought anyone as sharp and skilled defensively and a counterpuncher.
Floyd Patterson had fast hands as well but I’m not sure about footwork though
Benitez was >>>>floyd
Man the sound effects and the "Perfect Timing" put these films on another level.🏆🏆 They indirectly hold your attention and make you continue watching. Only videos I've watched that can be an hour long, you finish watching, and immediately go look for another video thats an hour long😂😂😂. Another banger!!!🏆🏆🏆
@@@😊
Sugar Ray Leonard is my friend and boxing hero. He gave you a show every time he got in that ring. Never saw another fighter throw so many combinations as Ray Leonard.
I followed his career from the Olympics. I was 10 years old. I watched all of his fights - they were on network tv then. Great fighter
You need to watch this video with a good pair of headphones..Wow the sound effects are incredible.
Thanks! That's how they are meant to be viewed.
Steve Man that’s how I try to listen to all his videos. His sound production and just overall quality is unmatched. He has a strong case for everyone that says he makes the best documentaries and highlights on KZhead. His work is outstanding.
Wasn't it though lol
@@team3gaming749 football is my favorite sport but just.watching these has increased my appreciation for boxing.

What a beauty is to have footage of the 4 Kings of Boxing nowadays, people, including fighters will never understand what it was and how it felt when you were one of the few lucky ones to see any of the 4 Kings with your own eyes 👀 in action
Ray Charles gave him his soul on that rematch
Damn Joseph Vincent, you make the best sports documentaries in the world. Sugar Ray was the best pound for pound fighter ever in my opinion. I watched Hagler/Leonard live as a kid and this brought back some great memories. My dad will love this. Thank you.
Sir not this sugar Ray but sugar Ray Robinson was the best he was Ali's idle .look at the trunks its same.Robinson won over a 100 fights before he lost.If it wasn't for the heat he would of won the light-heavywieght title and dominate that division
Defund NASA I would choose Marvin Hagler as best pound for pound.
I'm guessing you never saw the Hagler/Leonard fight?
I agree that SRR was the greatest of all time, but SRL wasn't far behind...
Leonard Hagler was a absolutely incredible fight I hate when people focus on the scoring instead of the amazing fight
It's rare to be the best at a sport in the sports histroy. Very rare. In fact counting the 8-10 main sports that means there's only 8-10 people since the beginning of sports that can say this. And Sugar Ray is one of them.
29:28 FANTASTIC editing on an already spectacular documentary! Nobody does it better 🔥
This is one of the absolute best productions. THANK YOU
The sound effects were everything. Good job with the video. Leonard was one of the best finishers in the game. The refs were shocking back then. They were taking 10+ punches too many. Maybe cause Ray was so quick.
13:12 - 13:22 it's like dude wanted to fall but Sugar Ray kept picking him up with every punch 😂😂

I was born in 1977 my first book report i had to write I wrote it about Sugar Ray. He was like a super hero to me. Kids talked about Superman Spiderman Hulk And I talked about Sugar Ray and Jerry Rice. To me they both was unstoppable and had that dig down deep and fight my way out of anything mentality. 🐐🐐
Got to add Mike...Jordan that is..:)
What a time to be alive. Everytime I see Ray throw the rib shot I am feeling it. All the great fighters fight each other.
That massive lethal over hand right Sugar Ray Leonard through at Tommy hitman Hearns reminded me so much of sugar ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Robinson used to throw those save overhand rights with insane levels of speed and power which used to leave his opponent dazed 😵💫.

Duran , Mr loaded gloves
Just started watching a lot more boxing, and I truly enjoyed this video. I swear, I didn't realize just how good Leonard was. That man was a freakin beast! He was relentless in the ring! His hands are gotta be the quickest that I've see. Of all the boxers. In his prime, he'd a got wit Mayweather Jr. No doubt in my mind. He would of beat the breaks off him! His hand speed was freakin ridiculous. Damn, Smdh!
This was quality! Can you make one on Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield. Thanks bro
Please
I would LOVE that!
Femz 90 Holyfield compared to sugar ray was fuking shit
I like HOLYFIELD' but he's a MANUFACTURED HEAVYWEIGHT' and he took performance enhancements' he got them through his son Evan' name. Good FIGHTER but he CHEATED.
That was a nice film of Ray.
This was a fantastic Documentary, Thank you for making it.
SRL was electric from the moment I first watched him in Montreal. Greatest boxer I ever saw alongside Ali and Salvador Sanchez. Calm, fluid, devastatingly destructive.
Brought tears to my eyes... 😢 You have to respect a resolute and courageous man like that... Sugar Ray Leonard is living proof that real life heroes are often greater than fictional ones. 🖖😎 Thanks for making this. I have a folder for “inspirational” KZhead videos. This is now in there.
Arguably the greatest to ever put on gloves and step into the ring at this point in time in boxing history. Period
agreed.
GREATEST FIGHTER EVER SEEN !!! LOVE THE MOVES !!
Keep the Great vids coming!! I love Leonard!! His style of boxing is something we may never see in the sports again!
3:50 Never seen a fighter that can land combos so fast and so powerful while BACKING UP! its unreal!
Ray Leonard had the hand speed of a damned old tomcat.....man, I couldn't believe this comeback! Thanks for putting this up and the analysis. This period in boxing was truly the Golden Age of the welterweights. Every time I watch these fights I see things that I didn't see before.
Did you actually watch the Hearns vs Leonard fight in real time? The man was signaling for the ref to come and stop the fight in middle of his combos😂😂
he had the fastest hands I ever saw & when he let them fly, it was like lightning
Joe, your films are legend. Keep them coming. Sugar Ray you were awesome and a legend. Thank you for you're continued work long after your retirement from the ring.

9:50 They omitted that part from the movie "The Fighter" that Sugar Ray was beating Dicky Eklund so bad his mother wanted the fight stopped
Sugar Ray Leonard not only was the best pound for pound boxer he had a heart of a lion.
He rightfully deserved to be in the Boxing Hall of Fame. ❤️🥊
Man, this was/is such a great uploaded video!! Absolutely loved Ray back in the day! He was such a great fighter, and all man!! Thought his loss to Roberto was his greatest fight. Really showed the heart he had. LIfe through him some hard punches, and he has hit the canvas a few times, but he always got up. Living a great life now, which is richly deserved. Love Ray Leonard!!
An excellent documentary on an excellent fighter, skills, charisma, speed, power, footwork, ring generalship and a sneaky mean streak all rolled up into one fighter. I grew up watching his fights, he was awesome
I like how Sugar Ray punches are extremely fast but he still knows the exact punch to throw in that situation even while he's in shoeshine mode.
I'm a Boxing fan and I absolutely loved this history lesson, thank you.
