Sugar Ray Leonard
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
