Sugar Ray Leonard (Born in 1956)
Sugar Ray Leonard was named after Ray Charles, his mother’s favorite singer. He was a champ in an era when it was hard to be a champ. He beat Durán, Hearns, and Hagler, some of the greatest boxers of his era. Known for his agility and finesse, he won 36 out of 40 of all his professional fights.
In recent years Leonard has worked as a boxing analyst for television networks like ABC, NBC, and ESPN. He is also one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world today. His speech “Power” (Prepare, Overcome and Win Every Round) is constantly booked all over the world by fortune 500 companies.
