Sugar Ray Leonard in a candid Breakdown of his toughest fights

[SlimTrae]

That was a very nice and humble interview by Leonard. I did not like him but know that he was an ATG.

You and I share the same view on sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather. I know they were all time greats but I did not like either one of them. But after watching this sugar Ray Leonard interview I like him for his humility as you accurately said.

I will never ever like Floyd.

If Ray can become likeable, then Floyd probably too. It's amazing how time and old age can make an arrogant guy or a meany seem nice.
Aw, that nice old man...
Was once an Arse-hole of epic proportions.

I mean even Duran seems like just that cool uncle one could want. But he was a nasty hombre in his youth!

I was thinking that too but...... Floyd?.......

It's gonna be tough bro.

Yeah, I saw one interview, where he broke down in tears, I'm thinking this is a humble moment, finally! Then he wiped his tears and said "I...I just want to say...I deserved this." Arrogant as hell!!!

Hahaha, bizarre! He's still not ready...Maybe in 5 years time.....

One thing I do not believe Leonard said was that he originally wanted to stand and fight Hagler. He said he changed his tactic after he got hurt 5 days before the fight in sparring but says "no one stands toe to toe with Hagler". So why have that tactic in the first place?

Is there is something fishy about that comment he made. If he already knew that hagler was a monster puncher then why would he I think to stand toe-to-toe with him at all? I mean I could see if you wanted to try it as a surprise for one round. But the injury in sparring would really be a deterrent to do so. I think he is putting on some Rose colored glasses on this point.

Also he chose Hearns for the rematch because Tommy had been wobbled and lost fights. Leonard thought Tommy was there for the taking. Leonard also beat a fat Duran during that manipulative comeback. Terry Norris also smashed him around for 12 rounds which all should have been mentioned.
