    No they aren't.
    I'm sure it would have been mentioned in here. They did date and Leonard was OK with it.

        I distinctly remember the announcers saying it the night of the fight, (which may or may not be its origin) but that doesn't mean ****, those guys are often wrong.

          I remember they claimed for years the Ibragimovs were cousins. It turned out they weren't even related, just had the same last name.

              I vaguely recall that Leonard was married to Benitez' sister, his first wife. I never followed up on it because I never cared. I read this way back in the 80's.

                    I heard he married her. I think her name was Juanita.
