🔥The Greatest EVER… Combo Knockout Machine - Ray Leonard

[@votesport]

Our video about Roberto Duran: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ2akKeLjceljNU And Thomas Hearns: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6iwpJiZaNyprLs In the 80s, a remarkable rivalry unfolded in the world of boxing when four outstanding champions in adjacent weight classes competed to determine the best, engaging in nine bouts among themselves. This period is now referred to as the era of the "Four Kings."

My kids middle name is in honour of sugar Ray leonard , my favourite fighter ( between him and Ray Robinson anyway)

Leonard, had superior skills, was very smart, and had the heart of a lion. My favorite fighter as well, and yes, he would’ve beat another great fighter in Floyd.

Sugar Ray Leonard's speed and accuracy were legendary, but his footwork and ability to string together long, varied combinations were a thing of beauty.

Sugar Ray earned every dollar he got fighting the best of boxing

[@palei1207]

Suger Ray Leonard is still one of my all-time favorites. He never ran from any of the great fighters of his era. He fought the best of his time and won them all. I didn't want to see him fight those monsters. People like Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, and the Panamanian Devil, in my mind growing up, were true monsters, and I thought Sugar Ray should never have anything to do with them. But he never backed down from any of them. That was truly amazing for me, to watch him go into the ring and not only survived but also flourished and became the winner.

[@brooklyncoach1153]

What really made SRL special was that combination of power and lightning speed he had in both hands behind those punches. Super rare to witness.

[@Makai77]

Sugar Ray Leonard was my first favorite boxer, and is now my all-time favorite. I followed him since I was an 11 yr old kid watching the Montreal Olympics 1976. Sugar Ray Leonard, Legend.

[@NEX...InLine]

I been watching boxing since the 1980s and i think a lot of people dont realise how good SRL was, i seen em all and pound for pound hes the best IMO. Fastest hands barring probably Roy Jones , footwork, power, boxing skills and the brains. And above all always had that heart and guts to dig deep. A rare quality for someone so skilled.

[@DeCurtaRican]

Ray had a slightly better blend of speed and accuracy with deceptively great power, but not quite Roy’s level of power. Jones had a slightly better blend of speed and power but was still very accurate, just not as accurate as Ray. Ray was faster than Roy Jones, and more accurate. Jones had a better blend of speed and power.

[@RipRoseNdTieTie]

Thank you for the ride down memory lane... He is my second all-time greatest fighter...

Sugar ray punished his opponent lower punches and quickly switch to started to hitting on head shots In punches to a knock out punishes. One of the greatest fighter in history since Mahamiali from his retirement .Sugar Ray is taken boxing by storm with his quick switching his punches from head shots to switching to the knock out techniques hitting the opponent. The Greatest advantage as a boxer during the late 70s and 80s since Malhmiali boxer. 60s and 70s championship fights.

Belts from Welterweight to Light Heavyweight Championships. Not bad for a skinny kid from Palmer Park Maryland!

[@meydallas]

Boxing used to be so much fun in the 70's, 80's and early 90's; these men were superstars, but what I didn't know is that some of these men were making more money than athletes in other sports like basketball, American football or soccer.
