Which 80s superstars are the sports best ambassadors today?

[No Tomorrow]

I'd say Iran Barkley. Dude will cut your ass

[The Old LefHook]

Ambassadors cannot say "do dat," or "Round twell."

Note: an ambassador can lick his lips too much.

Spinks and Mancini good, Ray Leonard combines them both. High acheiver with peerless boyish qualities.

I also like Sean O'Grady.

[TJ highway]

Roberto "Manos de Pierdas" Duran. and Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.

Otis Grant up at Montreal has his own Foundation.

[The Old LefHook]

Otis Grant up at Montreal has his own Foundation.

I think the late Vernon Forrest had one too.

[TBear]

Yeah. I agree, but was he really a superstar (at least outside of Nicaragua)?

Sorry BattlingNelson, I misread the title and missed the word "today". Today I would say Leonard might lead in this category. He has had his ups and downs as a man but normally presents himself well and is possibly the best spoken of the list.

I voted for Leonard and having known him for close to 3 decades, he is a man who has done a lot of soul searching and managed to turn his life around. He could easily have stayed on the path of drugs and alcohol but he helped shape his life for a better future. Now he lives a well adjusted life, money is no worry and he is a great ambassador for our sport.

I always thought of Alexis Arguello as a good ambassadors for the sport.

Admittedly the way he died was not role model material but during his career he was always a gentleman and good sport.
Very likable athlete.

Lol it's not his fault some **** shot him

[IronDanHamza]

Tommy Hearns is the least.

Ray Leonard probably the most.

[The plunger man]

Sugar ray leonard is articulate, well spoken , no signs of ring wars , admitted it should have been a win for hearns and not a draw in the rematch and to open yourself like that in his own biography shows guts and humility ...plus he's stll a very wealthy man .. The sugar man gets my vote
