More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson was probably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm so opposite of my profession. No one - particularly my mother and father - ever thought I was going to be a boxer because I always felt that football and baseball were too dangerous. I was just such a quiet kid.
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
It was a whole different world, and Montreal was an absolutely beautiful setting unlike anywhere I'd ever been before. So, Montreal in '76 was an encompassing experience I will cherish for the rest of my life.

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
No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Look at football, where you still have injuries no matter how much they improve the helmets and other equipment.
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 want to be great, something special.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Generally, the more weight you put on, the less effective you are.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm a free agent. I haven't allowed any promoters to have exclusive options on my fight. I don't need a promoter.
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
Sugar Ray Leonard
I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I always expect unexpected challenges.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it.
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 remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.
Sugar Ray Leonard
