Man does this guy age? I seen guys who are in their 20s who look old as hell. Sugar rays skin looks youthful, looks the same as he did in the 1980s. And this guy is nearing 60.
He looks early 50s and his speech doesn't seem like he has a fight career behind him.
He is a good advert for boxing and taking punches to the head and that boxing isn't damaging. Of course it is though.
early 50s? most guys I see in there early 50s have wrinkles and rough skin.

I think Leonard still exercises and that will make you look younger than your years where people half his age are fat, out of shape, looking old. Leonard was a great fighter and I believe both he and tommy Hearns would beat Mayweather. Sugar Ray robinson would also beat mayweather. He had tremendous footwork and he had a K.O. power the likes of which Mayweather does not. Back then there were no catchweights either. Not deniying Mayweather as being the best pound for pound today but I think that if Joe Calzaghe was in his prime and weighed 147 to 154, he would take apart Mayweather. Nobody gives Calzaghe the credit he deserves.
What does beating mayweather have to do with him looking young? Just kidding

Forget 147...Prime Roy Jones would have Ko'd Calzaghe within 3-5 rounds regardless of weight class.
So lets not skip down to Floyd just to protect Joe.
Young B-HOP Ko's him as well.
I've never noticed his left eye looking so noticeably more closed than the other.
But other than that, yeah he's pretty darn ageless.
I think another big factor is always maintaining a consistently athletic weight.
His skin hasn't stretched from messing about gaining and losing weight like many other celebrities.
Interesting to note that his own brother, who Ray claims gave him the strategy/blueprint to beating Duran the second time, doesn't believe he could beat Floyd if they had fought.
He looks great but it finally seems that all the battles are caching up to him, his speech is sounding a little slow
He does seem to be struggling just a little to get the words out the way he wants them. I hope it doesn't get any worse.
Ray vs Mayweather, in their primes, would break every box office record there is.
Sugar ray leonard the ageless fighter

good point, for those of us who have to work a nine to five job and overtime we will age faster with all the stress.
its why a lot of these rich celebs look so young, they make millions of dollars so they can sit there and bask. If you notice most of the actors who age badly are those who are hard core smokers, drinkers and druggies.
I believe it to be mostly genetics aided by good makeup-and often some sort of plastic surgery. In fact I know it is. Celebrities rarely venture forth-at least whilst they are celebrities- without making sure that they look their best. It's a major part of their schtik. They have paparazzi and news interviewers dogging their footsteps everywhere they go. The have appointment secretaries whose duties include making the right kind of itineraries for them. They are on view full-time. Unless they are noted for playing unlovely parts.
You'd be surprised what some of those celebrities look like without makeup and 'treatment" from their personal gym an masseur guys....
I recall as a kid, there was a revival tour involving several of the most famous stars whose names my dear late mother was always mentioning. So I went to see them, and decided to pop into the bar and wait for the second show so as to see them again. I got talking to another guy who turned out to be the theatre reporter for a newspaper. He invited me to come backstage with him whilst he was taking shots and doing interviews. They were so different in every imaginable way to what I had seen on stage I couldn't believe it.
other than the after effects of the Detached Retina to his left eye which is slightly noticeable, yeah he still looks the same pretty much lol
That's interesting. I wasn't aware that there were any noticeable effects of a healed detached retina, certainly after nearly 30 years. My understanding was the any effect was noticeable to the affected person only.
As for his appearance, I saw him in an interview recently and was surprised to see how old he was looking. He looked well into his 50s. He's always looked young. So I looked up his age to be sure.
to be honest we all look young as hell if we spent most of our lives unemployed and soaked in vaseline and cocoa butter all day but unlike most of them we have to take our ass to go work cause living off another man dollar is a NO NO.

I wouldn't be surprised if the battles have caught up to him a bit, but it sounds more like he's trying to answer as thought-out and professional as possible.
SRL pretty much always gives extremely proper and professional interviews that sound like he put a lot of thought into what he says
Have yall seen Arsenio Hall's new show? He looks even younger now than he did in the 90's
he has no mustache that's why. Aresnio needs to bring back the stache he looks weird without it.
Hectari, Ray looks great for his age. Hope you don't mind me getting off topic. I have been following your predictions of up coming important fights and so far you have picked the correct winner every time in about the last 6 big fights. I am impressed. You are a good fight predictor but I still think Rios will lose to Pacquiao. I wanted to get your opinion on how the Alvarado vs. the Russian guy will go this weekend. Who wins it and how? Thanks.
look at my predictions thread i posted a new pick for that, I picked Alvarado to win.
Its hard to pick that fight but I am going off of the ability of Alvarado to box if he has to and use his long reach. Ruslan is tough but he gasses and gets over excited when he hurts a guy, he also takes rounds off to recover.
I am rooting for Ruslan because I like his humbler warrior spirit, like I said this one is harder to analyze and make a pick because it really is a 50 50 fight.
The Rios Pacquiao fight on paper Pac should win, but I never ever ever ever seen a fighter ever comeback from that type of KO, ever! I am going off of history man, you can't comeback from that type of ko. thats why I pick Rios.
