More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard

Sugar Ray Leonard
Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.

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.

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
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
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 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
Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.
