More quotes by Sugar Ray Leonard
Were all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson was probably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time.
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 remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.
Sugar Ray Leonard
No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it your career is over.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he'll have to do it again to make me believe him.
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
Spread your love and fly.
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 tried the gloves on, and it just felt so natural. From that moment I became so embedded in boxing. I found a friend in boxing.
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
I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I want to be great, something special.
Sugar Ray Leonard
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.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Aaron Pryor wants to get into the ring with me. He wants to be able to retire, and he will. For health reasons.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.
Sugar Ray Leonard
The Ricky Hatton that beat Kostya Tszyu in 2005 can beat Floyd Mayweather, he was so focused and in such amazing physical shape that he would have given anybody at that level a tough time.
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.
