More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.
Sugar Ray Leonard
It's different when you become a professional, because you also have to become a businessman, and that takes something away from it.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Were all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people.
Sugar Ray Leonard
It is wonderful. It truly is. It is the only thing that is real! It's you against me, it's challenging another guy's manhood. With gloves. Words cannot describe that feeling of being a man, of being a gladiator, of being a warrior. It's irreplaceable.
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
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
I wanted to be like Bruce Jenner.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.
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
No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
We're all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head.
Sugar Ray Leonard
My intention was to fight Durán ASAP because I knew Durán's habits. I knew he would indulge himself, he'd gain 40–50 lbs and then sweat it off to make 147.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I want to be great, something special.
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
When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty.
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 was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
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
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.
