Sugar Ray Leonard wanted to be like Muhammed Ali, Muhammad Ali wanted to be like Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson wanted to be like Joe Louis, Joe Louis wanted to be like Jack Johnson and so on... we all have inspirations, don't let that stop you from trying to imitate anyone you admire or look up to! Because the greatest had someone to look up to as well.
Sugar Ray Leonard had it all. Charisma, speed crazy skills. Boxer, role model, entertainer and Champion. Not only in the ring. But where it really counts in the heart.
If he would not have had eye problems..wow..five years of inactivity is probaly 10 - 12 fights..we could have seen that greatness on display. Its like when Jordan went to baseball..what could have been!!!
Ali and Sugar Ray brought so much more to boxing than just pummeling your opponent. They had style, charisma, but also such nobility that they make you smile when you see them fight. Many don’t like him but Ray is my favorite boxer. Such an entertaining boxer to watch, especially with his speed. That’s why I prefer Welterweight over Heavyweight. And I mean he’s inspired by Ali and Bruce Lee man c’mon.
@Erich Von Manstein Really? He risked jail, gave up his belt and fought countless lower level bouts to get the chance to regain his title! He had the best quote of the sixties "no vietcong ever called me nigger!" Your the little bitch
Some of my favorite running gags on the channel: 1.) Boom perfect timing 2.) Metal Gear Solid Death noise 3.) Tom brady as darth vader and belichick as palpatine. 4.) Cocayeen
Todays youth doesn’t realize how extremely quick Sugar Ray Leonard was. Lightning fast reflexes and punches. And he had knockout power. All that with his flare and charisma made him a fan favorite, he had such a huge ring presence.
I think you make great points, but after watching a lot of boxers bios on here, the one thing sugar ray didn’t have is top notch knockout power, kind of like Ali. Great puncher but more tires guys out and doesn’t knock them out cold.

Fantastic documentary on one of the most beloved boxers in history. Sugar Ray was the total package - endless conditioning, superior focus/accuracy, and the most beautiful uppercut artist I've ever seen. All in a lovable guy that everyone could relate to.
If he didnt, hed lose the fight! Only a champion could do something like that, and (imo) Hearns had a champion mentally too, but not the experience yet.
Leonard was obviously losing the boxing match on all 3 scorecards. So he turned it into a brawler, stepping out-side himself becoming something else to win was (Extra-Ordinary)
I watched all of these fights with my father. He's been gone 21 yrs now. The memories all come rushing back! Sugar Ray was a real class act. He had such speed and accuracy in his hands that lightning and laser guided munitions are green with envy! Thank you Sugar Ray...you're the best!
I’m with you, sir. I wasn’t around early enough to see this generation, and stayed watching things like Bowe-Holyfield as my first experience with my father, but I’ll always remember my father associating Duran with the ‘no mas’ episode, which he told me about when I was too young to even understand it. He died when I was still in high school but I’ve is also gone about 21 years now, as well. It’s become normal for me and has been as long as I can remember now, but it’s amazing when you stop and think, “what if he was still around? What if he was around seven years ago for this or that….”
James Grain There can be only one. Try to mirror/copy an all time great like Leonard n yer gonna fall on yer face, boxing used to be too tough a sport to be anyone but yerself. I totally agree if yer gonna show a kid a boxer show em Ray n tell his story, hes an inspirational boxing icon but to copy him ? It cant be done, hes a one off doing wat he done in a one off era vs the calibre of fighters back then. Boxings a pantomime gravy train now, its a pampered bitch boy era now, MMA is King Of The Jungle & its only a matter of time before amateur boxing becomes a feeder sport for it while pro boxing continues to slide toward becoming this eras Saturday afternoon pro wrestling.
SPIDERM0OSE Lol no. Boxing’s ratings are still extremely high. Yes the sport isnt as violent as it used to be but the numbers definitely aren’t dropping like you say they are.
Can we take time to acknowledge the fact that a boxing legend acknowledged a martial arts movie star as being good with his punches and understanding the human body and its mechanics
As someone who is a giant Ray Leonard fan, I commend you on this a lot. So awesome, the only man to defeat Haglar, Hearns, and Duran. He is the true king of boxing in the 80’s
Leonard is one of the few boxer's that kept all his money and is worth more then most present big name boxers, considering he made most of his money in the 80s that is very impressive.
Once again, this glimpse into history is beautifully put together. Beyond the world of boxing. The Ali piece was exceptional and it simply comes down to the purpose in which each of these men served. Like I said beyond the world of boxing. Kings
what sugar ray says about respecting duran as a fighter but not as a man is sort of how i look at him in his treatment of marvin hagler, i don't respect how he picked and chose the circumstances of that fight, he was a great fighter and i admire him but his treatment of hagler is more offensive than duran's "no mas"!
It's rare to be the best at a sport in the sports histroy. Very rare. In fact counting the 8-10 main sports that means there's only 8-10 people since the beginning of sports that can say this. And Sugar Ray is one of them.
Damn Joseph Vincent, you make the best sports documentaries in the world. Sugar Ray was the best pound for pound fighter ever in my opinion. I watched Hagler/Leonard live as a kid and this brought back some great memories. My dad will love this. Thank you.
Sir not this sugar Ray but sugar Ray Robinson was the best he was Ali's idle .look at the trunks its same.Robinson won over a 100 fights before he lost.If it wasn't for the heat he would of won the light-heavywieght title and dominate that division
I watch this when I need motivation to keep boxing. All the old fighters have a charm that I don't see in many boxers today. When I get my ass kicked in sparring I watch these videos, they help me to keep going and be something great like sugar ray.
Sugar Ray Leonard is my friend and boxing hero. He gave you a show every time he got in that ring. Never saw another fighter throw so many combinations as Ray Leonard.
Man the sound effects and the "Perfect Timing" put these films on another level.🏆🏆 They indirectly hold your attention and make you continue watching. Only videos I've watched that can be an hour long, you finish watching, and immediately go look for another video thats an hour long😂😂😂. Another banger!!!🏆🏆🏆
The sound effects were everything. Good job with the video. Leonard was one of the best finishers in the game. The refs were shocking back then. They were taking 10+ punches too many. Maybe cause Ray was so quick.
Man, this was/is such a great uploaded video!! Absolutely loved Ray back in the day! He was such a great fighter, and all man!! Thought his loss to Roberto was his greatest fight. Really showed the heart he had. LIfe through him some hard punches, and he has hit the canvas a few times, but he always got up. Living a great life now, which is richly deserved. Love Ray Leonard!!
Nice tribute to the best fighter in boxing history. Fastest hands and feet in the game. Punishing body shots, master counter puncher. Would love to meet the man, the legend. Much respect Ray.
By far the greatest TH-cam channel I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Every one of your videos are masterpieces that I can watch over and over again. Keep up the great work man this is what you were born to do!!!
Just started watching a lot more boxing, and I truly enjoyed this video. I swear, I didn't realize just how good Leonard was. That man was a freakin beast! He was relentless in the ring! His hands are gotta be the quickest that I've see. Of all the boxers. In his prime, he'd a got wit Mayweather Jr. No doubt in my mind. He would of beat the breaks off him! His hand speed was freakin ridiculous. Damn, Smdh!
For the true Ray Leonard fans there should still be one more fight in this video...when Ray won the light heavyweight belt from Donny LaLonde in 1988. That fight made Ray Leonard a champion in three different weight classes in his career. Besides that, this was a great video!! Thanks
They fought at super middleweight actually. LaLonde was a LightHeavyWeight, but Leonard forced the promoters to have the fight at the lighter division,thus leaving LaLonde extra weight drained, which negatively affects strength and stamina. Leonard knew what he was doing. Very Strategically opportunistic. Just like demanding the Duran rematch be several months sooner than it really should've been.
What a beauty is to have footage of the 4 Kings of Boxing nowadays, people, including fighters will never understand what it was and how it felt when you were one of the few lucky ones to see any of the 4 Kings with your own eyes 👀 in action
Brought tears to my eyes... 😢 You have to respect a resolute and courageous man like that... Sugar Ray Leonard is living proof that real life heroes are often greater than fictional ones. 🖖😎 Thanks for making this. I have a folder for “inspirational” TH-cam videos. This is now in there.
Leonard won because he got Duran to fight soon after their first fight (which was smart). Duran was fat from partying after his big win, and had to dehydrated to much to make weight. Duran s body wasnt functioning, shut down, then the humiliation made Duran quit. (Some say he didnt say 'no mas', the commentator made that up) leonard didnt want third matchup against Duran. I think that tells us something.
Leonard wasn’t just a pretty boy who danced and boxed from the outside, not taking chances with opponents until the opponents got old. Leonard could go toe to toe and he could also box. He fought many greats in their prime.
@@jaobille79 What u mean he couldn't. He lost only by points. If any other madman would've stand toe to toe against duran he would've fallen in round 3. It's a clash of legends.
Really? Toe to toe the great Mavin Hagler? Give me a break, Marvin Would have KO’d SRL in 3 rounds. Don’t get me wrong , he was a great boxer but not a toe to toe slugger.
Ray Leonard had the hand speed of a damned old tomcat.....man, I couldn't believe this comeback! Thanks for putting this up and the analysis. This period in boxing was truly the Golden Age of the welterweights. Every time I watch these fights I see things that I didn't see before.
Did you actually watch the Hearns vs Leonard fight in real time? The man was signaling for the ref to come and stop the fight in middle of his combos😂😂
An excellent documentary on an excellent fighter, skills, charisma, speed, power, footwork, ring generalship and a sneaky mean streak all rolled up into one fighter. I grew up watching his fights, he was awesome
I was named after this man and got to meet him when I was a kid, which I have held in *the highest regard* and even now, in my mid 40s, *I'm very proud to be a Sugar Ray !!*
My favorite fighter of all time. I worked for his mother for a short period of time. Every time Sugar Ray fought I was glued to the TV. He captivated me, I started boxing in my youth due to him.
Steve Man that’s how I try to listen to all his videos. His sound production and just overall quality is unmatched. He has a strong case for everyone that says he makes the best documentaries and highlights on TH-cam. His work is outstanding.
You have skills, your videos has never not blown me away. May you always do this, may you always love doing this. You are a gift to us. Amazing video as usual. I am afraid to watch all your videos in case one day you stop and I will not have something special like this to watch. Hands down to me the best youtuber. Have a great year Mr. J. Vincent.
What saddens me is that we will never see legends like sugar ray in high definition. In 4k. Grainy footage is abt the best we can get. Ray always seemed like a very smooth moving fighter.
despite my previous comment i wrote about sugar ray i have to say these docs you make are incredible from the way they are edited down to the way you use the music and the comments by people just incredible thank you
I like HOLYFIELD' but he's a MANUFACTURED HEAVYWEIGHT' and he took performance enhancements' he got them through his son Evan' name. Good FIGHTER but he CHEATED.
Ray Leonard's power was always underrated because of his speed, a lot of his opponents slept on his power until they got hit. One of the best fighters of his generation.
SRL was electric from the moment I first watched him in Montreal. Greatest boxer I ever saw alongside Ali and Salvador Sanchez. Calm, fluid, devastatingly destructive.
Joe, your films are legend. Keep them coming. Sugar Ray you were awesome and a legend. Thank you for you're continued work long after your retirement from the ring.
My Grandfather John “jack” Belden was a fight promoter in upstate Ny and was blessed to see Sugar Ray when he received his iconic name in the ring. Wish I could go back in time for those glory days
Love the new Bored Film logo! Kinda miami vice... Now about this video.. I have to admit that before u made this I only knew Sugar Ray as name. A boxer before my time. I love how u captured his image. As a man. A true champion this guy. He wasn’t wrapped up in his money.. He wasn’t about ridiculous hype... He just wanted to box.. and to be the best... I learned more about this guy from your video than I would have ever dug into myself.. This is one of ur better edits. Thanks again bro.. Really, really great stuff... lol and p.s. i watched all the boring ads because I support your channel.. well.. Best way I can anyway! So I sit here waiting patiently for the next one. Great job!
That massive lethal over hand right Sugar Ray Leonard through at Tommy hitman Hearns reminded me so much of sugar ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Robinson used to throw those save overhand rights with insane levels of speed and power which used to leave his opponent dazed 😵💫.
I just gotta give props to my man Joseph Vincent, these videos probably take a ton of work to make and they are always perfection. Keep up the good work
I was born in 1977 my first book report i had to write I wrote it about Sugar Ray. He was like a super hero to me. Kids talked about Superman Spiderman Hulk And I talked about Sugar Ray and Jerry Rice. To me they both was unstoppable and had that dig down deep and fight my way out of anything mentality. 🐐🐐
80s boxing as a whole was a gift to life

Sugar Ray Leonard was absolutely Badass, when he stepped in the ring he put it on them. He's a TRUE boxing Legend.
His fight againts Hagler, I don´t really know how Leonard manages not to be KO by such a hard punches. Respect for both legends.
Pound for pound in his prime he imo was the best

Duran s body wasnt functioning, shut down, then the humiliation made Duran quit. (Some say he didnt say 'no mas', the commentator made that up) leonard didnt want third matchup against Duran. I think that tells us something.
Leonard wasn’t just a pretty boy who danced and boxed from the outside, not taking chances with opponents until the opponents got old. Leonard could go toe to toe and he could also box. He fought many greats in their prime.
Just couldn't go toe to toe against Roberto Duran
@@jaobille79 What u mean he couldn't. He lost only by points. If any other madman would've stand toe to toe against duran he would've fallen in round 3.
It's a clash of legends.
Really? Toe to toe the great Mavin Hagler? Give me a break, Marvin Would have KO’d SRL in 3 rounds. Don’t get me wrong , he was a great boxer but not a toe to toe slugger.
@@bilbobagginssword3926he was dancing at first but when he went toe to toe he outboxed him, hagler more powerful so his hits look crazier
@@bilbobagginssword3926he would've ko'd sugar ray in 3 but ray went all 12 and won the fight? After a 3 year hiatus? Give ME a break😂
I followed his career from the Olympics. I was 10 years old. I watched all of his fights - they were on network tv then. Great fighter
I can actually feel the excitement of the pass, boxing was it. I wasn't born in those days but trust me I can feel the chills.
Hell yeah another great video to enjoy on a Friday
I'm a Boxing fan and I absolutely loved this history lesson, thank you.
Amazing pace to this documentary. I literally made my eyes well up multiple times. Such an amazing fighter with a warrior spirit
This is one of the best ones man. Amazing production.
Ray Leonard had the hand speed of a damned old tomcat.....man, I couldn't believe this comeback! Thanks for putting this up and the analysis. This period in boxing was truly the Golden Age of the welterweights. Every time I watch these fights I see things that I didn't see before.
Did you actually watch the Hearns vs Leonard fight in real time? The man was signaling for the ref to come and stop the fight in middle of his combos😂😂
he had the fastest hands I ever saw & when he let them fly, it was like lightning
Sugar Ray Leonard was my childhood hero, I still think he is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
Most definately
Muhammad Ali is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!
@@jaderriusboykins178 pac is
@@jaderriusboykins178 pac was the goat in the ring and out I'm telling you
@@jaderriusboykins178 but ali has really shown us what a goat really is
Leonard was one of my favorite boxers next to Muhammad Ali and mike Tyson and Holyfield
Just being Rj sugar ray Leonard my hero great boxing legend
....yes, and Sugar Ray Robinson too of course :)
Just being Rj sugar ray Leonard was my hero love him he was more more than a boxer
I agree that those are the G.O.A.Ts but my favorites are Roy Jones Jr. and Emmanuel Augustus.
Oh is that all for your favorites ?😬 . Way to narow it down.
Keep the Great vids coming!! I love Leonard!! His style of boxing is something we may never see in the sports again!
An excellent documentary on an excellent fighter, skills, charisma, speed, power, footwork, ring generalship and a sneaky mean streak all rolled up into one fighter. I grew up watching his fights, he was awesome
I was named after this man and got to meet him when I was a kid, which I have held in *the highest regard* and even now, in my mid 40s, *I'm very proud to be a Sugar Ray !!*
Nigga you gay
No one cares
Lol
I just love how you always pick the perfect music! great video as always :)
I been on this channel all day. Thank you for the great vids. This is amazing. Appreciate all you’re work.
Thanks for watching!
The two punch sound as one!
This is such an inspirational boxing legend. Big respect!
My favorite fighter of all time. I worked for his mother for a short period of time. Every time Sugar Ray fought I was glued to the TV. He captivated me, I started boxing in my youth due to him.
You need to watch this video with a good pair of headphones..Wow the sound effects are incredible.
Thanks! That's how they are meant to be viewed.
Steve Man that’s how I try to listen to all his videos. His sound production and just overall quality is unmatched. He has a strong case for everyone that says he makes the best documentaries and highlights on TH-cam. His work is outstanding.
Wasn't it though lol
@@team3gaming749 football is my favorite sport but just.watching these has increased my appreciation for boxing.
I’m so happy I subscribed. I watch your videos with everyone in my house and we are amazed by your editing
You have skills, your videos has never not blown me away. May you always do this, may you always love doing this. You are a gift to us. Amazing video as usual. I am afraid to watch all your videos in case one day you stop and I will not have something special like this to watch. Hands down to me the best youtuber. Have a great year Mr. J. Vincent.
What saddens me is that we will never see legends like sugar ray in high definition. In 4k. Grainy footage is abt the best we can get. Ray always seemed like a very smooth moving fighter.
Boxing is the theater of the unexpected you never know
despite my previous comment i wrote about sugar ray i have to say these docs you make are incredible from the way they are edited down to the way you use the music and the comments by people just incredible thank you
Arguably the greatest to ever put on gloves and step into the ring at this point in time in boxing history.
Period
agreed.
This was quality! Can you make one on Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield. Thanks bro
Please
I would LOVE that!
Femz 90 Holyfield compared to sugar ray was fuking shit
I like HOLYFIELD' but he's a MANUFACTURED HEAVYWEIGHT' and he took performance enhancements' he got them through his son Evan' name. Good FIGHTER but he CHEATED.
That was a nice film of Ray.
It's 2020 and this still the best sports channel on you tube
Ray Leonard's power was always underrated because of his speed, a lot of his opponents slept on his power until they got hit. One of the best fighters of his generation.
Of all time.
What power lol he’s an all time great but he had pillow for hands 😂
@@parrowmedia3788 1:17
@@parrowmedia3788hearns would tell you differently😂😂😂and apparently duran
SRL was electric from the moment I first watched him in Montreal. Greatest boxer I ever saw alongside Ali and Salvador Sanchez. Calm, fluid, devastatingly destructive.
that BOOM perfect timing gets me everytime lol
Even though I expected a great video, I'm still amazed.
The speed that Ali, Sugar Ray, and Mayweather have is amazing
I imagine alot of Floyd haters would've liked your comment had you not mentioned him.
Annnnnd ROY JONES
I wouldn't put Mayweather here with these two. Wrong level of greatness.
@@jakesmith5278 We can't mention one Ray without the other also
@@jakesmith5278 hate him or love him. Floyd is one of the best of all time
Joe, your films are legend. Keep them coming. Sugar Ray you were awesome and a legend. Thank you for you're continued work long after your retirement from the ring.
My Grandfather John “jack” Belden was a fight promoter in upstate Ny and was blessed to see Sugar Ray when he received his iconic name in the ring. Wish I could go back in time for those glory days
As always Mr. Vincent Thank You and job well done on this video!
Love the new Bored Film logo! Kinda miami vice... Now about this video.. I have to admit that before u made this I only knew Sugar Ray as name. A boxer before my time. I love how u captured his image. As a man. A true champion this guy. He wasn’t wrapped up in his money.. He wasn’t about ridiculous hype... He just wanted to box.. and to be the best... I learned more about this guy from your video than I would have ever dug into myself.. This is one of ur better edits. Thanks again bro.. Really, really great stuff... lol and p.s. i watched all the boring ads because I support your channel.. well.. Best way I can anyway! So I sit here waiting patiently for the next one. Great job!
Man this dude had the fastest set of hands that ever got in the ring
Yeah him and roy jones , like machine guns
@@justinnicholson4737fr
Roy and Ali. Would've loved to see him fight Floyd Jr. I don't think he fought anyone as sharp and skilled defensively and a counterpuncher.
Floyd Patterson had fast hands as well but I’m not sure about footwork though
Benitez was >>>>floyd
What a time to be alive. Everytime I see Ray throw the rib shot I am feeling it. All the great fighters fight each other.
That massive lethal over hand right Sugar Ray Leonard through at Tommy hitman Hearns reminded me so much of sugar ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Robinson used to throw those save overhand rights with insane levels of speed and power which used to leave his opponent dazed 😵💫.
GREATEST FIGHTER EVER SEEN !!! LOVE THE MOVES !!
Been waiting on this one! ❤ THANKS! 😎
I’ve recently started watching boxing it’s awesome to watch these greats. Awesome videos keep up the great work
I just gotta give props to my man Joseph Vincent, these videos probably take a ton of work to make and they are always perfection. Keep up the good work
JV you are just a genius when it comes to editing you are the best of this Era on a level of your own keep up the good work💯💯
Aye my man, we need that Sugar Ray Robinson Career Doc. One of the best ever✊🏾💯
You make better boxing videos than the professional ones
The muhammed ali one was insane and the best
On youtube
im always waiting for more
Thanks! I love doing them. If they got better views I'd do them even more and more.
Awesome video editing! 1st class audio! Thank you and keep it up
The king has returned
Sugar Ray Leonard not only was the best pound for pound boxer he had a heart of a lion.
He rightfully deserved to be in the Boxing Hall of Fame. ❤️🥊
I was born in 1977 my first book report i had to write I wrote it about Sugar Ray. He was like a super hero to me. Kids talked about Superman Spiderman Hulk And I talked about Sugar Ray and Jerry Rice. To me they both was unstoppable and had that dig down deep and fight my way out of anything mentality. 🐐🐐
Got to add Mike...Jordan that is..:)
This is the best channel on TH-cam the only channel that posts and I have an aneurism from excitement
I feel fortunate to have been able to watch all those fights.
Such a well made video.. got the chills
Many great boxers over history. This was my dude. Thank God I was born in the 70's.
This was a fantastic Documentary, Thank you for making it.
