More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
Boxing's a poor man's sport. We can't afford to play golf or tennis. It is what it is. It's kept so many kids off the street. It kept me off the street.
Sugar Ray Leonard
This kid [Janks Morton, Jr.] was so special, although he's not a kid anymore, obviously, but he was there from day one of my rise through boxing. You know how the years go by and then, when you stop to reflect, you realize that someone was a part of your whole evolution as an individual? That's what I share with Junior.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself

When I was 15 or 16 and I started climbing up the ladder of success in amateur boxing, a reporter asked me, What do you want to be? I think he was expecting me to say, A champion. I said, I want to be special. I don't know why I said that, but I didn't just want to be a fighter. I wanted to have an impact with people, particularly kids
Sugar Ray Leonard
Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I always expect unexpected challenges.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Were all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I learned how to sumon, from somewhere deep within, the extra will I didn't know I possessed. Knowing it was there, and could be tapped again, gave me the boost of confidence I would rely on for years to come.
Sugar Ray Leonard
To be honest, I don't know. I started one [book] back in 1982 or '83 when I first retired. But I was only 25 or 26 and not ready to write my memoirs.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I enjoyed [Celebrity Ghost Stories]. I never thought in a million years that I would tell people that I saw a ghost. And I've seen a lot of ghosts.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.
Sugar Ray Leonard
You don't play boxing. You really don't. You play golf, you play tennis, but you don't play boxing.
Sugar Ray Leonard
When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty.
