Sugar ray is one of the greatest chanpions of all time
a true champion!, mcilvanney is a brilliant interviewer, who knows his boxing!
Awesome video! We need more Sugar Rays in boxing today.
He got up and ended the interview with that last comment by the interviewer... Love Ray!!! Lol
A tip: watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Rodney Gerald definitely, been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)
i have this somewhere on VHS in my loft. One of my all time favourite interviews - thank you for posting. Trust good ol' Hugh to leave Ray reeling with his closing assessment of the Hagler fight - classic!
Other than Robinson, Leonard is the only one that matters at the mid-weights in boxing - an illuminating interview; thanks for uploading.
what a great interview.
its a shame television is filled with rubbish nowadays.
thank goodness for youtube and internet
best wishes
@userYT303 happy 2023. Wow....I made that comment over ten years ago! Right now.... All is _good in the hood_ .. Hope you and everyone are full of Joy and smiles. :)

2 immortal greats
Very rare!
I don't know who this interviewer is....but he asked Ray some tough questions about his 'future'....Ray answered the answered correctly, but this guy foreshadowed Ray's future like he already could see it. Ray should've stopped fighting after he fought Hearns (2nd time)...as he was slower and couldn't standup or avoid punches. He was dropped against Lalonde and twice by Hearns, and Lalonde was a SLLLOOWW fighter. Anyway...the guy doing this interview knows his sh...
Hugh McIlvanney. He is a Scottish writer who currently writes for the Sunday Times in Britain.
He has a memorable quote about the second Leonard vs Duran match which is in the book 'Four Kings' by George Kimball.
That is very true what the interview said fighters don't except retirment until the truth is beating in to the other man's skull with another man's fists that there best to put down the gloves because there no longer the same fighters the best them is long gone.
its different today. this was like 15 years ago
@taperek1 You've got sour grapes my friend, Sugar Ray won that fight, winning 7 of the 12 rounds for sure.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
You got that right. Ray could be asleep and still shred keyboard warriors.
actually 25 years ago
He was the real spider man
7 rounds to 5 Ray. (in the Hagler fight)
Hearns went to his wedding.
+Bum That's because Thomas Hearn is a great guy. He had that reputation of being mean, but that was just his ring persona. By all accounts, he was everything but. He is one of my all-time favorite boxers.
They're both good guys. Easy to like. We're lucky to have had them.
There will never be another like Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard or Ray Robinson so yeah his son wont be half as good as him.
Hugh McIlvanney is known in Britain as a sports writer.

Beautiful man and fighter. Hagler was cheated by the Boxing establishment in delaying the arrival of his greatness , rewarding his rival Leonard with a dubious decision but Hagler was rewarded by the Boxing Gods with superhuman power, resilience and skill in the ring and he had such humbleness and humility outside the ring he was so respected. The Leonard decision may be in doubt but his legacy will never be in doubt. My hero, my inspiration in so many ways .RIP the greatest boxer ever not just GOAT of middleweight. I will miss you. Oh and the interviewer was absolutely right to tell Leonard to his face he lost hence the abrupt ending of the interview. Deep down Leonard knows his success depended on the 'fix' being in place and with a Mexican Judge scoring it 10-2 to Leonard was an utter disgrace.Bob Arum has also said Hagler won the fight and implied the Mexican Judge had agreed the score BEFORE he attended the fight. Hearns was also cheated when he clearly beat Leonard but it was called a draw.
I'm the biggest Hagler fan out there and NO !! Hagler did not win that fight. SRL Did a job on him.
Karl Convey go on GQ dropped a new interview today ...SRL said he thought hearns won idk it was a close one tho one for the books def both legends
@@nowavestv333 hearns won the second fight...
Thank you.
Like Highs article said it was the perception of victory.Flashy punches ,some blocked or low or after the bell from Leonard should not count as scoring blows!Like the front row people cheering the bolo punch which was a foul by Leoanard=low hit.RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler .
The gap before Hagler was 3 years, not 5 years. The gap between his penultimate and final fight was six years.
14:00 Bernard Hopkins
@taperek1 Leonard Won and rightfully so.
Sugar ray to me was a great boxer doing the Ali shuffle dop the rop a true legend I'd love to meet sugar ray and shack his hand kiss his feet I no that sounds daft but he was a special fighter god bless you sor sugar ray lennard yours Alan Johnson from Leicestershire in England R.I.P Ali another legend of boxing
You see sugar mention Bruce Lee - He Bruce Lee was inspirational martial artists. Sifu Len Maroon Fist Association
You got the ring at 40 and Hector Camacho what does ass I like sugar Ray Leonard but he should've given Hagler a rematch and I don't think he won the fight Hagler got robbed on the decision because he didn't knock Leonard out
A tech fighter
@raygluv57 Duran didn't beat himself... Leonard was so superior that Duran knew he had no chance in hell of winning and would only be embarrassed worse and worse as the fight progressed.... SO HE QUIT.. In the ring... The most humiliating, disgraceful, cowardly thing a boxer can possibly do
Frazier was who really said: NO MAS (No More!) before round 15 in the Thrilla in Manila, and I didn´t see anybody doing a melodrama of it. I think Duran chose the wrong way, he should have waited to be sitting on his chair and then ask his manager to stop the fight. Nobody could have said anything if he would have made it that way.
It's no secret that Leonard wanted a quick rematch to catch Duran off-guard. SRL knew that Duran was out indulging in food and drink while celebrating the biggest victory of his career. Leonard phoned his manager while on vacation in Hawaii and told him to set up the rematch ASAP. In the aftermath of the Montreal fight, Duran had blown up to over 200 lbs. Duran was forced by his management, which stood to gain financially from them accepting the rematch so quickly. Duran's management knew his tendencies to party hard between fights and gain significant weight, but didnt care about putting their fighter in a bad situation. Duran knew that a rematch was going to happen. He just didnt realize it would be exactly 5 months to the day of their first fight. Duran struggled to take off the weight in such a short time period, and entered the match in a weakened state, which was the game plan all along. I dont blame Leonard for trying to gain an advantage for the rematch. I blame Duran's management for accepting the fight on Leonard's terms for financial reasons and not protecting their fighter's interests.
Featherfisted Camacho pummeled him...
he shouldn t have said his son can t be gd as he was ,how can he know
Camacho was smaller than Leonard and not much of a puncher--but he beat the living hell out of Leonard and knocked him cold.
Poor Leonard.
Leonard was 40
I agree that leonard was an arrogant phony, but you can't question his fighting ability. . . . . . . A better finisher than anyone since too, including Tyson. Top 5 ever
He was a great finisher....
Yeah Leonard thinks of Camacho every night and Ali is thinking about Trevor Berbick....
You sound like a true hater.
No not at all, your the 1 thats ignorant.
Ray was way past hes prime when hes faced Camacho, in hes last
fight 6 years prior to Camacho he was outclassed against Terry Norris.
Hes last win was 8 years before the camacho fight and he was almost 40 when they fought.
Now how the .... is that apple and oranges to compare that to Ali who aslo was way past hes best when he fought Berbick.
The funny thing here is that you call me ignorant yet you bring up Rays fight vs Camacho to prove something
It takes a Fluff head to believe the fake 2nd Duran/Leonard "fight" was a legitimate fight.
quite possibly Pryor wd have beaten Ray, he was an atg fighter that deserves to be remembered up there with Hagler and Leonard.
Hector looked like a body builder, I don't think Leonard had much chance that night
fish fingers Leonard was OLD OLD OLD by that time...he has no business being in that ring! Big mistake by him to take that fight. But, a SRL in his prime DESTROYS Camacho at any point in his career.
perez show up with the excuses.
Where is the video of smaller, non puncher Comacho knocking the bigger Leonard out cold?
Camacho kicked the shit out of poor Leonard.
He ran from Aron Pryor cause he new Pryor would beat him
Rogger White no he did NOT.
yes, if he wasn't strung out on coke or beatin his wife, he would come outta retirement if he thought a fighter was losin a step..ie Hearns, Duran 3, Hagler...catch weight for lalonde who was dehydrated by mid fight. Notta fan of srl !!
musoo views boxing from the homosexual point of view.
Leonard was a fake. All he could was stealing wins from people like Hagler.
Marvin should have got the decision, but he helped Ray by fighting orthodox those first four rounds.
only thing wrong with leonard was . he thinks hes god .thats all ..
Hauler was the champion when they fought. This was not an overwhelmingly convincing victory. Therefore the victory should have gone to the champion, certainly not the challenger. Marvin won the fight.
Poppycock! The rules the judges follow when scoring a bout say nothing about the challenger needing to 'take' the title from the champion. If they win by a point, they win by a point.
@JSavic This implies that boxing judges decide at the end of a fight who they thought was the winner. That's not how it works. They score round by round. At the end of the fight, the round scores are tallied. The fighter with the most points wins. End of.
most overrated fighter in history
No, Floyd Mayweather Jr is.
Za 200 lat jeśli będzie ludzkość będą wspominan kunszt tego arcymistrza
