As far as I'm concerned, Sugar Ray Leonard's career ended with his loss in 1991 to Terry Norris. His later fight in 1997 with Camacho was an awful idea spawned by the notion that Camacho was a charlatan, an overrated phony who deserved to be exposed. I remember Leonard talking a bit like that at the time. However, the 40-year old Leonard's muscle tone, speed and reflexes were gone and instead of exposing Camacho, Leonard got exposed as a totally washed-up fighter, an all-time great who needed to be shown just how far he had fallen.
I felt that Leonard had already been exposed as washed-up by Terry Norris. In his prime, Leonard would have been too skillful all-around for Norris.
