Sugar Ray Leonard Quotes

I always expect unexpected challenges Picture Quote #1

I remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail Picture Quote #1

Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There’s nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring Picture Quote #1

Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it’s better to give than to receive Picture Quote #1

I was not athletically inclined. I was very quiet, introverted, non-confrontational. My three older brothers were athletes - basketball, football - but I was kind of a momma’s boy. Then one day, my brother Roger encouraged me to go to the boxing gym with him. I tried the gloves on, and it just felt so natural Picture Quote #1

Joe Frazier was the epitome of a champion. I mean, here is a guy who was total old school, blue collar, who would fight anybody. You know, he didn’t tell you he was the best fighter pound for pound Picture Quote #1

Boxing is individual, although there’s a team concept because you need a great corner, you need a great trainer, you need a great prep man, you need all of these things, but it’s more of a Mano a Mano; it’s more you versus me. I miss that time in training camp and Dad and Mom cooking meals. It was one big family Picture Quote #1

My very best memory of Montreal was the moment inside the Olympic arena when I was waiting under the stadium and those majestic gates opened up. It was a whole other world Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the school run and being a dad. Boxing will always be with me. I like that Picture Quote #1

We’re all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people Picture Quote #1

The thing about boxers is that there’s respect there. You beat me, and I may not like it, but you know what, deep down inside, I respect you. And that’s the code of honor Picture Quote #1

You don’t appreciate things until they’re gone. For me, I miss my friends; I don’t miss boxing, I miss the camaraderie Picture Quote #1

The Olympics meant everything to me. Going through them is like nothing else you will ever experience. For those few weeks, you are in another world. At that point, I couldn’t see how there could ever be anything better Picture Quote #1

I made mistakes, but I’m luckier than most. I’ve got a successful business, lots of fans who think a lot of me and a family who loves me Picture Quote #1

People try to live vicariously through fighters, but it’s one-on-one; it’s primal. There’s no other feeling like it. The problem for me was accepting it - that nothing compares to being champ Picture Quote #1

Someone once said there was a comparison between Sugar Ray Leonard and Sugar Ray Robinson. Believe me, there’s no comparison. Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest Picture Quote #1

We’re all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head Picture Quote #1

I consider myself blessed. I consider you blessed. We’ve all been blessed with God-given talents. Mine just happens to be beating people up Picture Quote #1

No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran Picture Quote #1

I’m not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it Picture Quote #1

Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger Picture Quote #1

Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making Picture Quote #1

In Italy, I had an Afro, and a lot of the kids came up and felt my hair. It really was funny. I wish I had understood Italian Picture Quote #1

I’m a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he’ll have to do it again to make me believe him Picture Quote #1

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it’s worth it, and it’s a great thing Picture Quote #1

Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that’s it; your career is over Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed [Celebrity Ghost Stories]. I never thought in a million years that I would tell people that I saw a ghost. And I’ve seen a lot of ghosts Picture Quote #1

I made the decision to turn pro, and I remember what Ali said to me: ‘Get Angelo Dundee. He’s the right complexion with the right connection.’ He knew boxing. Our relationship was so genuine, so sincere Picture Quote #1

In Italy, I had an Afro, and a lot of the kids came up and felt my hair. It really was funny. I wish I had understood Italian Picture Quote #1
