Sugar Ray Leonard's most vicious KO 😤 | Sugar Ray Leonard vs Dave Boy Green | Free Fight

[@raggedcritical]

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.

[@raggedcritical]

@@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.

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

Thank you for showing this fight ! One of Mr. Leonard’s best fight! He was so fast and accurate with his punches.

[@derrickwalton6944]

Sugar ray Leonard speed was just something elite.

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

Everything about his boxing was elite. Ring IQ off the charts, heart, finishing instincts, stamina, speed, power, footwork, big game temperament. No matter who, no matter when or where, Leonard made it his fight, he did it to Duran, Benitez, Hearns, Hagler. In terms of talent Roy Jones is very close to him, but Roy didnt have Rays finishing instincts. I think you have to go back to Sugar Ray Robinson to find a fighter as complete as Leonard.

[@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.

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

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

I dont think theres any doubt hes the best, he only has Roy Jones for competition, Mike Tyson & Holyfield, then maybe Oscar. Id say thats the top 5 unless you want to include Duran, Hearns & Hagler, maybe Pacquaoi. the best of the rest were dull as dishwater point fighters.

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

[@itsgleneaton4883]

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

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

Kalule was a higher caliber than Green & a weight class higher. Hearns 1 was a war, only a great fighter could have won that. Maybe it was his most spectacular win but I cant look past his Hagler performance if we are ranking performance, Hagler was something else, to roll off the couch n do that to him was mind blowing. His Lalonde win was spectacular too but between it, the Kalule win & Green, Id say the Kalule win is his best, especially seeing as he was still the WW champ & defended that title after beating Kalule.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I think Hearns 1 is his best. He was behind on all 3 cards, his eye swollen half shut. Ray had to dig deeper than ever to win that fight, and in the end he did in impressive fashion.

[@Stand663]

The most complete fighter ever Sugar Ray Leonard

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

Technically, Id say Hagler had more strings to his bow, but effectively Id agree that Leonard was a damn near perfect fighter, what he didnt do, like regularly switching stance, was only because he had more effective fight ending tools in his other skills.

[@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.
