      It should only be Sugar Ray.

      Sugar Shane just doesn’t sound right.

        Are there more?

        What gave these boxers the nickname "Sugar" did they bestow it upon themselves? Or was there some common connection between the Sugars?
        Back in the old days when a guy was soft or feminine they called them sugar....leanard and Mosley definitely suspect
