Sugar Ray Leonard Vs. Andy Hawk Price Rd.1.wmv

Leonard in his prime was 1 of the most complete and best boxers in history, not only was he fast and slick, he was an absolute killer at welterweight, 1 of the best finishers of all time.

[@jazztalk3482]

Like I always said, a prime Leonard would beat Mayweather just like he did his father. In my book Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran were the best. If these guys were boxing today in their primes, they would clean out the entire division.

[@nicklubrino2606]

To make matters worse, Marvin Gaye(Andy Price’s manager) had to sing the national anthem for the main event after his fighter was KOd in the first round.

[@cooljeb3]

The idea that Ray ducked Pryor is completely foolish... Pryor couldn't get a shot at Lightweight & moved to Super Light in '80. He didn't fight Arguello until Nov '82 & rematched with him in fall '83. Pryor was 5'6" & didn't move up to fight any of the great Welters of the early '80s. He didn't fight Benitez, Cuevas, Duran, Hearns or Leonard. It's not an insult to him. He simply wasn't in their weight class... Considering how close Pryor was to Arguello, it's like arguing that both of them could have competed with that group of Welters. That simply isn't the case... Furthermore, Leonard fought Benitez in late '79 followed by Duran twice & Hearns before '82. He squeezed in two more fights before '82 including moving up & winning a Super Welter title over undefeated Ayub Kalule. After beating Bruce Finch in Feb '82 he retired with a detached retina (for two years)... Again, Pryor hadn't faced Arguello yet.

[@cooljeb3]

Why didn't Leonard fight Hagler in the late 70s and early 80s? Are you really asking that question? The fight that we're on is Leonard vs Andy Price, it took place in Sept. 79. Two months later, Leonard fought Benitez in his first world title fight. That night on the same card, Hagler finally got a shot at the middleweight title against Vito Antuofermo!!!! The fight ended in a draw. Hagler didn't win the title until a year later!!! Leonard between the first & second Duran fights, at that time. Leonard wasn't cherry picking at middleweight during that time. It was established that Hagler was two weights up. I laid out the dates of his fights through Finch (& retirement)!!! From fall '79 through '82 he fought at welterweight. Only the Kalule fight was at jr middle (he weighed under the '54 limit, easily). He only came back ONCE in '84. That was against Kevin Howard after two years off - at WELTER!!! He then quit again for 3 years, only to come back when he thought he could beat Hagler. So, it wasn't about avoiding Hagler as champ. Hell, they weren't close to the same weight. Leonard wasn't fight ANY middleweights... Now, did he see that Hagler was vulnerable when he did come back years later? Yeah, he did...

[@hammer44head]

Best pure 147 welter weight fighter I ever seen. Sugar Ray could sharp shoot upstairs and hurt you with body punches. I was skeptical of Ray early on till he beat Benitez, though I was big Duran fan, Sugar Ray impressed me in the first fight though he lost he stood toe to toe and went to war. Man I miss the old days of boxing. Just went dead at the turn of the century.

[@nicklubrino2606]

Duran got into his head, so Leonard fought him toe to toe.

[@Odawg96]

As I’ve said about Leonard and even though I’ve NEVER been a fan, despite all the cute and flashy stuff, when he smelled blood, he was easily one of the most vicious and best finishers EVER!

[@lexxon11]

it's beautiful to see Ray gauging his distance first with the ,fient to left jab, next he notices Andy drops his left when he feints, looking to land that right, notice how Leonard turns him to his inside foot opening him up for that right hand

[@tobysimpson2773]

Leonard knocked out this guy, who people thought would beat him, with such a gorgeous 17 punch combination How much better can you get than Sugar Ray Leonard 👑

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Howard Cosell is right, this was just a stunning KO at the time. Leonard's camp had been criticized before this fight of protecting him, so they had him take on Price, as a lot of boxers avoided him. But what an impressive KO. Just a blistering assault of punches by Ray. Before the start of this video, Cosell mentioned that Price had never been off his feet (though he did have two KO losses) making this all the more impressive.

[@playboymaxim]

Pryor AND Mayweather too small to mess with Ray. Pryor was a jr. welter. It was not worth the risk for Ray to drop weight, and it woulda been suicide for Pryor to move up. Mayweather might have had a shot at welter but he's a short welter. Ray and Tommy Hearns woulda been too much for him in their primes.

[@sonofapollo5892]

playboymaxim Stop it🤚🏽

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

Leonard had faster hands than Floyd & more power. Hearns definitely had more power. They both could go into deep water. In their primes Floyd couldn't possibly go toe to toe with either of them they both hit too hard. Floyd would have to stay outside & slip.

[@noledelgado8111]

I'm with you Johan Cruijff. In his prime, Sugar Ray Leonard can unleash multitudes of lethal and almost imperceptible ultra quick puches tempered with so much accuracy & precession. He also use lots of smarts in his battle plan and seems to know what his opponent is doing.

whoah andy had 43 proffesional fights and he got knocked out in the first round! truly great.

Man Leonard's speed is UNBELIEVABLE

[@Wilson632]

I read some years ago price was told by is corner not to try and slug with ray but he said he wanted to ko ray and got ko.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

True. Andy felt Ray was quick, but in pinching exchanges he could outfox him. His corner warned him about Ray’s power and he ignored them, at his peril. Price was a tricky fighter who could lull other fighters into making mistakes, then capitalize on that. That strategy would never work against Leonard.

[@SureFeelsGood]

That jab is UNBELIEVABLE the one at 3:24 are you kidding me

[@ancientarchie1463]

Absolutely amazing to me Price beat Palomino and Cuevas. He was a PERFECT pick as Leonard's last fight before the title shot. He'd lost 4X in the prior 3 years, with only two world class but not quite chap caliber opponents (Harold Weston and Dave Boy Green, both losses) in that time frame and, as Cosell aptly noted a minute before the stoppage, he is vulnerable to the right. What else could be expected of a guy carrying his left like he was playing with himself? Otherwise, typical inept ref, being behind the fighters when they went to the ropes, so slow to intervene and costing Price about 3 clean shots after he was out on his feet with both hands dropped. By contrast, you will never seen Mills Lane anywhere but on the side once the fighters are on the ropes.

the fight in Montreal should've been a draw, (btw, a 29 y.o.Duran fought very well) the next fight "no mas" Duran felt Sugar was much more superior thats why he quit and the third fight, Duran was old, slow, lack of acuracy, his prime was past many years ago. l'd still put Duran in the top five 147 lb of all time. of course, SRL the best P4P has ever fought.

In some part of the video you can see Marvin Gaye in the crowd. He managed Andy price and at this point of his career Marvin was hoping to redeem himself financially through this fight he thought if Andy can beat Leonard they would make a lot of money in the future as Andy apparently was a huge favorite to win the fight and seemed like a promising fighter. After the ko I think Marvin cried and almost opted out of singing the national anthem afterwards, this fight had a huge effect on Marvin.
