I do appreciate the epic free fights, but showing Sugar Ray Leonard to advertise a Jake Paul fight is like handing out free samples of lobster to advertise tins of expired spam.

[@Jozzocxnt]

Guy doesn't even deserve to have his face in the same video as Sugar's

[@pluckinmageetar]

This was a mandatory title bout. He was next in line. You cant anachronistically compare his legendary status today to his newly crowned head back then. He ended the career of a ton of people who earned the right to fight him. This was the European champ, whether you like it or not. SRL is my favorite fighter. He's my GOAT. But he didn't fight internet sensations nor would he if that was even a thing back in the day. That he dominated is beside the point. He earned his right to fight the champ.

@@pluckinmageetar I'm not dissing Davey Boy Green, I'm dissing Jake Paul.

[@pluckinmageetar]

@@raggedcritical You're being a little insincere, but I have no animus towards you. I laughed, sooo.... No, it wasn't a direct diss of Danny Green, but the comparison was made not only to (rightly) slam "Fake" Paul but also to suggest that Mr Green, or simply fighting him, was somehow comparable to a Jake Paul fight. Anyone watching the fight for the first time not knowing either fighter would never have made that comparison. Neither would I, as someone far older and wiser than the alphabet generations, who grew up in the fight game...and who saw this fight live, knowing full well the reputation of each. My only point was that Mr Green was eons better than Mr Paul and that he earned his thrashing at the hands of arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time. And he didn't become "a KZbin sensation" to do it but persevered through years of preparation and toil. Peace brother!🤘😎

[@raggedcritical]

@@pluckinmageetar I don't know how to tell you this, but I was referring to the simple, surface level absurdity that this fight - featuring one of the greatest, most sublime boxers of all time - was actually uploaded in part to advertise a Jake Paul fight. I have nothing to say about Davey Boy Green.

[@MM-ch2sr]

For the morons calling Green a tomato can do your due diligence on fighters. Green was a solid top 10 147 fighter in any era.

[@greencm7142]

You're right. Green came into that fight 33-2. He was definitely a contender.

[@richardglover6621]

Met DBG 4-5 years ago, he was lost in Norwich streets in his black merc...asked for directions, I said I recognised him - he seemed genuinely flattered by it, such a gentleman. Leonard was amazing in this fight though

[@goodyeoman4534]

Nice anecdote, mate. What an achievement to have got to fight the great Sugar Ray Leonard.

[@paulcolville5972]

@@goodyeoman4534 Agreed, and don't forget he fought another great, Carlos Palomino, for the same world title three years earlier, and almost won. A shame he never quite reached the top title but it was a different era, when being ranked in the top ten was an achievement and a world title actually meant something, unlike today when all the meaningless titles are split and they're lucky if they fight just once or twice at most a year.

Sugar Ray Leonard

[@goodyeoman4534]

Sugar Ray Leonard was maybe the greatest boxer of the past fifty years. Certainly in the top 3.

[@DeTAYL.]

It’s hard to argue with that. He was special.

[@fmlorangehill4010]

Nobody's better than Sugar Ray Leonard

[@thechamp7111]

Brutal combos. Damn. That’s why he was the champ 5 diff times.

[@ckobo84]

it looked like the right before the knockout left hit Davey Boys glove and his own glove hitting him in the face stunned him.

[@stay-rootednlove2794]

@9:42 No s!r...that was caught on the chin🤨🎯 Davey boy asking "what happened?"😳😬

[@usaherobrine]

Beautiful combination of punches

[@crystalsnow9752]

It was just asked who's you favorite fighter of all time. Mine was always Sugar Ray and I go back and watch his fights just to marvel at his skill and speed. One of the greatest ❤👏💯

[@ArchieFatcackie]

Dave Green was a true warrior but wasn’t in the same class as Sugar Ray. I suspect he could have took Green out any time he wanted.

[@lemarscottwhyte3260]

It looks like Leonard sparked out Canelo lmao. 😂

[@JL-bz9hi]

Don't diminish green just because he's out of his league here.. leonard was just that great

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Exactly. Green was pretty good, but Leonard is one of the best ever, and Green's style was perfect for Leonard. Sugar Ray also did the same thing to Andy Price, another very good fighter.

[@itsgleneaton4883]

Leonard’s greatest performance. Thank you for getting this perfect print.

[@ronfender8101]

great defense, speed and power the whole package.

15 rounds back then. Murder. Back of the head hitting the canvas has got to be a mighty knockout

Oueh ! Léonard est un as de la boxe mondiale ❤

[@michaelshort9146]

Great compilation! AP had hands the size of a heavyweight, and he beat Gary Hinton and Hilmer Kenty in the amateurs too. The Davis fights were close and arguable as USA boxing liked Davis as a rep rather than Pryor

[@stevenmendoza5621]

Sugar Ray weren't no punk boy!

[@sidneygreen9120]

Brutal 😖

[@markdoughty8780]

This fight was a complete mismatch - the gulf in class was huge. In this bout, Sugar Ray Leonard reminded me of a mini Ali, who in turn based his style on (Sugar) Ray Robinson. Leonard couldn't have had finer predecessors than those two greats, so Green was never going to get close in this fight - although, as ever, he showed plenty of heart. Thanks for uploading.

[@JustinBleeder]

Frame 9:41 that left hook was NOT caught on the glove it was stopped by the face...LOL! Boxing commentators back that weren't very good. The worst of them of course was Howard Cossell.

[@topnotchboxing1941]

Sugar was a dog and had the smarts to beat anybody. Great showcase of hard work and adjustments.

I don’t think sugar Ray even worked up a sweat in this one!

[@greencm7142]

FACTS.

[@kkkkkk320]

Didn't SRL have a fight where he ran out of his corner at the first bell and annihilated his opponent in under two minutes. Might have been in '79 or '80?

[@oliverocampo2198]

🇲🇽🖐️

[@user-ct2wo6ig4x]

Dave was a good fighter. Sugar was clearly too good for the fen tiger and they became friends. Sugar has been over to Dave's house several times for dinners to raise money for charity. Dave worked hard in agriculture fitting his boxing training in. Sugar was totally sponsored and concentrate 100 percent on his boxing. The hard work Dave put in working and boxing probably saved his life.

Why not? It was his mandatory first world title defense, and Green was 33-2. Oh course the crowd got bored. Most of them didn't know how boxing works. This was back when it was 15 rounds.

Nice try. It's called movement, something all boxers are schooled in. Running has nothing to do with it, if you knew anything about boxing you would know that. He sure wasn't 'running' when he knocked him out.
