Sugar ray generation isn't the golden age of boxing mate. Sorry to disappoint you. Sugar ray robinson era was the golden age of boxing

Tommy the Hitman, Manos de piedra Duran, Sugrar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Hagler! Those 4 are pure gold :) Btw thank u for the precisation

Same here. These fighters back then were true! Sugar is top 3 one of the best ever IMO. Floyd, Sugar and Tyson.

@@lorenzoroda1916 and many more. There were a lot.

There are some awesome fighters now tho. Triple G, Mayweather before he retired and prolly still was a BEAST, Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao was insane, even Shane Mosley at the end of his career was good he almost knocked floyd Mayweather out. Ricky Hatton... so many. But back in the Ali days and Tyson days... man boxing used to be crazy

Clad iron chin not quite Haglers but if Haglers chin was a 10 Leonard's was a 9 but Leonard's intelligence was a 10 and his speed was 9.9 their was a couple of smaller fighters that were 10 level speed and one slightly bigger named Roy Jones that was a 10 also Ali and Tyson were BIG men who score a 9.9 in my book of the fastest big guys ever I seen enough Floyd Patterson to believe he was more of a 9.0 in speed

Both Leonard and Mayweather jr had something in their arsenal the other one didn't.

I would have destroyed this man e z

more shocking: first boxer to get paid $100 million for 1 fight o.0

I`ve always been puzzled by that. Such a charmer outside the Ring. And yet an absolute assassin inside it.

@@redled2677 Crawford's the same way: beyond chill outside the ring, inside the ring he'll kill you on live tv

I'm still trying to wrap my head around it

@@redled2677 Ray is the talk softly with a big stick type like Roosevelt

Terence Crawford has a similar boxing IQ and is also very good but not being allowed to wrap up the Welterweight division like the good old days When the best fought the best. Unfortunately.

Crawford can fight from either stance, with KO power in both hands, that's nuts! Ray was much faster than Crawford, though. Also, Ray fought a library of legendary boxers =)

With hard hitters people always focus on their power more then their skill. Everyone remembers Tysons KOs more then his insane head speed and dodges. Everyone remembers Foreman for his insane power and not his grappling and pawing jabs ruining his opponents rhythm and defence. Everyone remembers Liston for his knock out power but not his beautiful jab.

This video said fastest but Leonard layed some wood on his opponents.

@@arthas640 exactly Tyson definitely is a hard hitter but ppl definitely undermine his incredible style and speed

Yea because fighters ended up with severe brain damage. This is why they fight 2 fights a year. Ain't nobody want to be disabled or brain dead due to too many punches to the skull. Boxers risk their lives stepping into the ring and you got to respect that.

makin alot more each bout al$o afford$ them tha luxury of waitin much longr n btween matches!!

More ways to say bad stuff about the fighters on the interment now

He was also on coke so idk if that stamina was all him 🤣

Facts. Years delayed if they do smh. Not worth my dollar

Roy Jones Jr was the successor to the power&speed combo puncher madness that was Ray Charles Leonard

He _might_ very well be the best welterweight to put on a pair of boxing gloves. And yes, along with the speed he was also heavy handed. The evidence; he dropped the much larger Lalonde.

@@MrClassicmetal y’all forgot ray Robinson was a welterweight.?

@@professorxaviour3649 Ray Robinson was the best welterweight ever.

Sugar ray leonard was not only fast, but he was very powerful, he overpowered all of his opponents

The boxing space bar for bar king 👑

Easy too look quick against as low competition....But Yes he was very slick and quick...Made Hagler look amateurish.

One Can Only Wonder how much Sugar Ray Robinson would have loved to have proven his Mettle against these So-Called Legends.

@@rhythmboxing The Champ is Here.

The greatest

Not me

To build a SRL you would need Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Ike Quartey, Shane Moseley, Pernell Whitaker, and Bernard Hopkins rolled into one. The dude was a machine-learning algorithm.

Very well said! I'm in my 60's now, I miss the boxers that fought all the best in they're division

@Bruce Wayne He did have a clean image. Nobody was thinking "look at that cocaine abuser, it made him fight longer". It doesn't matter if he did or didn't do cocaine, which you don't have proof of. His image was that he was a normal guy who wasn't from the streets committing crimes, "or doing coke". He said he had one time where he was tempted to do drugs and he didn't because of a friend. That's what he said. Don't know if he did or didn't. but that's what he said. Image is not about what you're actually doing. Image is about what you are perceived as by the general public. That's why I said it. Despite that people might not have thought he had an edge to him, he could have that killer instinct and get down and dirty in the ring as well.

@Bruce Wayne ...You should produce proof. Otherwise you can be held liable for slander.

Yo my thoughts went straight to cocaine when you said clean image too but that's just something I have in my memory about Sugar Ray Leonard . He was just before my time so I'm not so familiar. I know Suger Ray Leonard is one of the best names in boxing. There are two Sugar Ray's sugar ray Robinson was a bad bad .....bad bad Bad man I know that too. I think Robinson whippin Leonard in primetime . But I wouldnt bet money against sugar ray leonard on speed no pun intended. Who am I kidding I intended that pun. Yo I came hear to try to prove a mthrfkr wrong about jones jr having the fastest hands. I said you better check sugar ray before you believe something silly first

​@@lookinforthe70ssugar Ray Leonard is a great pro boxer and a brutal one as well and he was also a mean boxer...he confirmed that..he said that when he is in the ring, he was a mean and bitter and different boxer

Yawn 🥱

Bull shit , he ran from Arron Pryor

@@peterjohnson9854 You try to fight with a detached retina. Ray signed the contract. Were you listening?

@@DDDRRRCCC bull shit sugar ran from him

Hate to say it but everyone who really matter during that era ran from The Hawk except Alexis and look what ended of him he was undefeated until he got destroy by the hawk

Twice and was never the same

SPECIAL.

@@rjpdcytys7687 roy jones arguably had better physical talent than tyson

🤣

@@jenspk5201 ... Mike Tyson beat Roy Jones Jnr though when they fought!

@@dappadondadda100 wheb they were both far past their primes

@@jenspk5201 Roy Jones would still get knocked out by a Prime Tyson. Please don’t be one of those delusional ppl 🤦🏾‍♂️

he also struck so hard it was stupid

this is what impresses me the most honestly. In that flurry of exchanges he’s able to pick the most effective punch within those sea of choices like a fighter in the matrix is incredible. you slow down some of these clips and it’s insane the combos he’s throwing(and landing)

@@LeTrioMen agreed

When SRL starts getting aggressive, that's when his opponents are in the danger zone.

he was lightning fast, even in the 12th round!

@Bruce Wayne in every comment secrion there's always this one loser and here you are!

High boxing IQ

Lmfao

Hearns most violent. But yes, Ray was a close 2nd

He was the best 147 pound fighter ever

@@charlesbennett819 All time would be Ray Robinson, but Ray Leonard is no doubt the best welterweight of the last 50 years.

Ray was the best Welterweight of his time! I know that Roy Jones Jr. was not a welterweight he had better Hands, more Power and was quicker on his feet, even carrying his weight!!!

I felt that way about Floyd jr for a long time because of the image for selling fights. It wasn’t til I got into the sport myself that I respected his discipline and skills

@@Bill-Butcher Sugar Ray Robinson was great, but in a different era and different style of fighting. His record is ridiculous he had like 126wins or some shit with almost a 100 KOs. Lol But Sugar Ray was a brilliant fighter and really worthy of the Sugar name, he had ridiculous speed in his prime with KO power in either hand. That Tommy Hearns fight, the first one is an all-time classic. Hearns was winning at first until Angelo Dundee woke up Ray with that pep talk, and Sugar went to work on Hearns. Hearns scared anyone with that vicious right hand he had, he would have knocked out Marvelous Marvin if not for that hard head damn head Marvin had. Lol But it's too hard for me to choose one Sugar over the other because they both were great. Those 2 losses that Sugar Ray Leonard had at the end of his career to Terry Norris and Macho Camacho was not him, he was an old fighter by then that shouldn't have kept trying to come back from serious injuries.

He was the truth!

Terry Norris has faster hand speed

Lmao nope...not faster than Ray at his best.

Hector Camacho. I remember SRL admitting to Gil Clancy on a Camacho CBS fight broadcast that he'd stand in front of a mirror trying to match what he saw. Obviously Ray (IMHO) is the best Welterweight ever, but if you want to talk speed exclusively, a prime Macho had him beat.

In my book, too.

Have you ever seen Roy Jones Jr. Had the same speed but with More power. In his heyday he Thrashed his opponents!

@@nikkichevyable He's one of my childhood heroes.

He already said he wasn't gonna talk about the block busters

Tommy Hearns isn't looked at as a "mortal." The video highlighted Ray's matches against the "mere mortals" of his era.

Greatest fight of all time for me. Highest level, most skilled fight ever

I always felt like he won that fight but yeah that was my favorite of his fights too

@@sherrillraymond7595 it was a very very close fight

Very close fight... Ray showed the doubters that he had heart.

Quality of opposition.

@@jeremysipes44 he fought and beat the best..

Thank you for the kind words💪

Yeah but who wants to be brain dead from too many fights? This is why fighters now will only fight twice a year. Too many fighters from back in the day have speech impediments, and have brain issues. We as fans love a good fight, however we must remember that the men in the ring are putting their lives on the line to entertain.

Yes he walked Tommy down

But what if Pryor had his special water bottle

I'll take Pryor

@@poppopartist3870 Leonard would've beaten Pryor...

@@jamesbottger5894 sticking with my pick ... everybody's got an opinion

@@poppopartist3870 I agree Pryor matched his speed & had more heart

Those particular fights require their own video. A brief description of those bouts will not do it justice. To get a example of my single bout videos, look at my most recent videos Pryor vs Arguello or Cooney vs Holmes.

@paul stewart he didn’t lol he beat Hagler’s fucking ass and kicked the shit out of Hagler and knocked Hearns tf out like bro come on.

Yeah while it lasted, sugar stops floyd late on for me

He was the greatest in his prime before eye surgery no one better he had it all plus the brains and great trainer the late angelo dundee!!@

@@rjpdcytys7687 anybody got a punchers chance

Try getting a life and stop trolling.
