More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
While each of us faces enormous challenges every day, it's not the sins we commit that will define us, its how we respond to them.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Boxing was the only career where I wouldn't have to start out at the bottom. I had a good resume.
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.

I'm not in favor of that [mandating protective headgear ] because we learn as amateurs how to protect ourselves. And that's why there's a third man in the ring, the referee. And that's why there has to be a very strong boxing commission that doesn't allow guys in the ring who don't belong there.

I found boxing when I was 14 years old. I went down to the gym because my brother, who used to beat me up all the time, introduced me to boxing. I found boxing to be a sport that I felt safe in because I controlled what was in those four squares.
Sugar Ray Leonard
The only way for a fighter to get back in shape is to fight his way back.
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 had a drug problem. I'd go to parties, take a leak, and there was cocaine right there. I was 25 when it started, rich, famous, and retired.
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.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Tommy Hearns seemed like an indestructible machine, so to beat him, I think that was my defining moment, the pinnacle.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Before the start of the '76 Olympics, I'd had 160 amateur fights. I won 155 and lost five
Sugar Ray Leonard
Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.
Sugar Ray Leonard
They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
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.
