    For all of you who hated or dislike Sugar Ray Leonard. Post your reasons here. I must admit that Ray was a very talented boxer and he had some great fights and you cannot take that away from him but here are my reasons for disliking Ray.

    1. He was very very afraid of Aaron Pryor. When I was a child I lived very close to the neighborhood that Ray Leonard lived in. I used to see him sometimes in the Chesapeake bay seafood house etc. Anyway Aaron Pryor was so determined to fight and beat Ray Leonard that he actually moved into Ray's neighborhood. He would go down to his house sometimes and call him out and Ray was soo scared. (Supposedly Ray even got a police restraining order against him because he didnt want any part of him) I know you all remember Pryor coming to Ray's press conferences and getting in Ray's face etc.
    2. He eluded some opponents or waited till the perfect time to get people. (When they got old, came off wars etc.) besides that his win over Tommy who I feel was beating the hell out of him for like 13 or 14 rounds was not cool. I mean let the man continue it's a championship fight.

    3. He was basically the golden boy of the 80's.

    4. More to come I am just too tired to type.


    Basically that's the main thing I didn't like. He should have taken that fight, and I bet you there would be no debate about Aaron Pryor's talent.

        Fans can always bring out the name of someone you didn't fight.

        If Pryor really went to Ray's house looking to call him out, then Ray was tright to call the police. That's not ducking, it's protecting your family from unsafe situations.

        Taking the first Duran fight was riskier. If your WW champ in 1980, who's the biggest risk out there?

        Taking the first Hearns fight was riskier.

          You are making yourself look like a fool, quoting wikipedia to claim that Hagler did not want a rematch with Leonard. Because

          1) it's wikipedia

          2) it means you dont know **** about it.

                hum

                you did not read my initial post.

                I stated that Leonard was a great fighter in the ring, not so much out of the ring.

                I think both assessments are very reasonable.

                      Not sure if this was mentioned, but I dislike him because he really didn't fight very long. Look at his final record 36-3-1, when Duran won over a hundrend fights. I hate the pitty patter style...and something that makes me laugh is he got KO'd by Hector Macho Camacho....Come on Sugar Ray no matter what age you can't get KO'd by that guy. haha
