Ray Leonard TKO9 Donny Lalonde -- Las Vegas, Nov. 7, 1988

Sugar Ray Leonard won two titles in one night when he stopped Donny Lalonde -- capturing the Canadian's WBC light heavyweight title while also winning the inaugural WBC super middleweight belt.

Due to the super middle title being at stake, Lalonde was required to weigh no more than 168 pounds. He talked a great fight, referring to the 32-year-old Leonard as an "old, fat welterweight." While Lalonde fought well early, even scoring a knockdown, Sugar Ray proved to be a different class in terms of talent.

When the boxers weighed in on the morning of the fight, Leonard's weight was announced as 165 pounds, two pounds lighter than Lalonde. He said in the postfight press conference, however, that his true weight was 159-and-a-half pounds. Leonard, who had weighed in wearing a track suit, said he had secretly placed weights in each pocket.

you changed the thread title from sugar ray robinson..to leonard

[Pin Galarga]

He like much of the Champions then did not SET/IMPOSED limits on his opponent and that's the way it happened through the sports history.
Boxers used to show up much lighter than the weight limits. Rocky Marciano used to come in bellow 190, but never was catched crying about it.
They showed up at 186 to fight a guiy at 220 and knock him out.

Leonard was the goldenboy of his era and HE got to do a little bit of the beatching we see today.

[Sugar Sting Ray]

Not only that. They both fought for a second title which was vacant and never existed before.

This is very bad news for the Raging *****s because no one cares about these facts to day just like no one will care about Pacquiao's catchweights in the decades to come when Floyd will be selling crack on the streets because he's flat broke and abandoned.
