Spiralling down the rabbit hole of these old interviews again! It's so refreshing to see these. People are so much more real in these old interviews.
Greatest fight of all time. I've watched 50 times and am still incredulous of the ferocity, the frenetic pace, the skills and strategies, the stamina, and the GUTS these men displayed for FIFTEEN brutal rounds. I'm from Panama and we flooded the streets, honking horns, drinking rum, dancing and celebrating all night.
There was a tremendous respect and love for SRL in Panama, but not during THAT fight haha! The hatred was INTENSE.
Yeah, best fight among the Four Kings. You could argue Hagler-Hearns, either one.
We saw it close-circuit TV on screen with, maybe, 10,000 people. That was Duran’s greatest performance.
Ray was always a classy gentleman.
Wrong
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooft, I'm not sure that he'd agree with you on that one either.
People don't realize Duran was 38 when he fought ray....38!!! When duran was in his prime ray couldn't handle him
@@Bruins-vq5ey
Stop trolling son
After his fight with Hands of Stone, Leonard admitted that he could move all of his front teeth. Also, Sugar Ray said that Duran was the most difficult boxer to hit. Duran was an animal in the ring.
Bs don’t lie woman, sugar ray said that Floyd Mayweather Sr had the best defence.
@@tang00001 they both great
@@tang00001 Nah he said Wilfred benitez was the hardest boxer to hit. Ray missed the most punches of his career in that fight.
Hahaha I enjoyed that fight, but learned Leonard has heart
One of my favorite fights is Hearns vs Duran. Hands of stone meets hands of steel. Watch that one!
40 years ago?
Impossible.
The man still looks the same !
Roberto Duran's infamous 'No Mas' November 25, 1980.
A lot of truth in that interview. Sugar Ray, was America's beloved sugar cube in heart and soul. My parents talked of their love for him along with everyone else. No one wanted to see him get hurt, though everyone wanted to see him win. Winning didn't matter--everyone loved (and still loves), sweet Ray
Whatever the cause Duran brutalized him and beat sugar ray with movement and butality
@@deadarmd and hearns beat duran like a red-headed stepchild.
@@deadarmd he did not brutalized Ray Leonard, it was very close in points , what is brutalized is your comment
If you make a make a career out of boxing, dont care how good you are,you will get beat all bout your body, including your head, kidneys, and liver, which will cause unbearable pain, and will shorten your life!!! do you really want this????. very few boxers really make it!, at the end, you will be lucky if you dont get punch drunk!!, and struggle to get by in life!!!!!!, not worth it!!.
Leonard was acting here, that`s not his natural personality, he`s very introverted, he just had charismatic looks.
As someone who's family lived on the same street as SRL'S (Mathew Henson Dr.-Palmer Park, Md.) before he became an icon. As well as spoken to him quite a few times in the past, I can tell you that you are 100% correct. Very shy. But when the camera's roll, he changes.
Torrance Mcdonald hmmm
Actually, the same is said about Muhammad Ali. His public image was that of a loquacious person, but he was said to be very low key and even quiet in private.
His Hotboxin' w/ Mike Tyson appearance shows this as well. I feel you can tell when he's uncomfortable when he gets super composed, almost inhumanly lol.
True. Leonard had an early fight before he even won a world title where he said his siblings were good at sports while he was younger and was a homebody and a self-described "momma's boy". There's also an old article from Sports Illustrated where he mentioned he liked to read comic books at home and play w/ his German Shepherd until he started boxing.
What a gentleman Sugar Ray is.
A great champion. I saw the fight closed circuit. It was edge of the seat for 15 rounds. I was disappointed he fought toe to toe and didn't use his speed and agility to stick and move. But he provided he could go 15 rounds with one of the best punches of the era. I saw a recent interview and he is still very articulate unlike many retired boxers where the punches took a real toll on the mental faculities.
Fallon take notes. Notice how he’s not giggling every 4 seconds like he has a crush on his guest
HAHA HAHA.
Jimmy Fallon is a bug next to an interview master like Dick Cavett.
that ^
Ray Leonard said in another that Duran hit him so hard that he thought there was two people hitting him in their first fight! Duran was never afraid of getting hit!
Yeah but Duran was hard to hit
getting hit and being hit clean are two different things
and then duran met tommy the hitman hearns. Hearns beat him like a drum.
@@SCORP1ONF1RE and Barkley knocked down Hearns , and then Duran knocked down Barkley. Just had to finish the other part of a TRUE story!
How unbelievably cool is that man !!! One of the coolest athletes ever . Very nice man and amazing.
Snake look at how he stabbed hagler in the back
'Blite13'. First, I want to say that it is a pleasure debating with you regarding this issue. You clearly have an understanding of the era. Makes the conversation that much better. We may have different opinions, but it is truly a joy to finally come across someone who has a functional knowledge of the sport.
For full disclosure, I grew up in the D.C. & Maryland area. I'd see SRL running in the mornings on George Palmer Hwy as I was being dropped of to school. This was before the '76 Olympics. I've even had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Cicero (SRL's Father) a couple times before he passed. They lived a couple houses down from my Uncle Leonard in Palmer Park, Md. SRL even came to my High School to raise money for our football team by playing an exhibition basketball game back in '84.
My reason for disclosing this is because even with the 'hometown pride' thing I still do not hesitate to critique SRL objectively. A few of his fights I felt he held too much, danced and stayed away from his opponent too much, etc. With that being said, your responses (once again) are accurate. But (once again) don't go all the way to the heart of the matter. One, as admirable/noble as it was, Duran chose to give away a substantial amount of his earnings to Panama's poor. Sometimes as much as $10K daily. Had he controlled his finances better, he more than likely would not have felt pressured to take the fight. That's on Duran. Not SRL.
Second, when Duran's manager (Eleta) called him to come back from New York to Panama to start training Duran he did so. There was just one problem...he didn't start training as he was supposed to. "As soon as I got the call from Eleta, we left N.Y. But-Big Mistake-back in Panama I kept partying." excerpt from 'I Am Duran: My Autobiography'
Bottom line, as I said before. Duran lost because of Duran. Saying that a fighter needs a break/time to enjoy their success is true. I've been a boxing fan since I was 10 yrs old (1980) and knew that. However, **there is something to be said for personal responsibility**. It was actually Alexis Arguello (not SRL) that made me a boxing fan...lol.
I didn't see the need to make excuses for SRL when he lost to Norris. Because SRL *chose* to step into that ring. I see no reason to offer 'reasons' as to why Duran failed in the rematch w/ SRL. Because at the end of the day...his reasons for losing were self inflicted.
thank you for that. My problem is.....when a guy says it was his strategy to get the other guy into the ring when he wasn't at his best. That shows Ray didn't think he could beat a 100% Duran. Duran was the best fighter in the world at that time and he deserved to call the shots and get into the ring when he was ready.....but he was forced by his own people, who had taken payoffs from Leonard, to take the fight. Ray had bought off Duran's corner and was manipulating Duran into the ring when he wasn't ready to fight. Duran wanted the money for sure, it was by far his biggest pay day of his life. Leonard made it so Duran wouldn't be ready, no honor. Then with Hagler, Ray waits until his legs are shot and wouldn't give Tommy a rematch until Tommy "was shot". No Honor. When both were at their best, Duran wins, period.
AND, Ray vs Norris......Norris didn't need to create an advantage like Ray used to.
@@blite13 Hate to break it to ya, er...um....Norris did what you accused Ray of doing. Waiting until someone wasn't in their prime. Can't have it both ways...lol.
@@blite13 Hagler's legs were not shot in their fight. Hagler simply allowed Ray to frustrate him (Ray stayed on his 'bicycle' until he saw that Marvin's anger took away his technical ability/focus). Not saying that I agree w/ SRL's strategy. I don't. But Marvin was not 'shot' at that point in his career. SRL outsmarted Hagler. SRL won on points. On any given night the judges could favor the 'moving forward' brawler over the dancing 'pitter pat' showman. It's just a matter of what a particular judge favors. Hagler landed the harder punches (few and far between). While SRL landed more. Albeit, some of it was 'shoe shining' and more flash than substance. But he still landed more countable punches. However, if Ray had tried to go toe to toe w/ Hagler, Ray would've lost!
SRL had already learned from his 1st match w/ Duran not to fight another man's fight. So why would he make the same mistake again. Yes, Ray told his brother Roger ("I think I can beat Hagler. He seems a bit slower."). But in SRL's arrogance, he too had lost a step. He just didn't care...lol. Neither fighter was in their prime. Nor were either of them 'shot'.
@@blite13 Norris didn't need to 'create' an advantage because he fought an over the hill SRL.
That first fight was incredible.
Thanks for the video 💪 greetings from holland 🇳🇱
Sugar ray leonard is a class act
*ROBERTO DURAN IS THE BEST AND THE GREATEST BOXER IN THE BOXING HISTORY.*
💯👍
Duran was ferocious, especially as a lightweight...
See abit of Ali's charisma in Leonard
What a great sport he is, coming on this show after he lost.... He really knew he could get his belt back, so there isn't a hint on insecurity in him
Yeah he had a pretty nasty plan for it.
Wait for Duran to be almost 200lbs, and force him into a short notice rematch knowing Duran would be sick, weak, and ill from having to cut over 40lbs in a few weeks.
Was pretty distasteful.
@@mrdark9916 Haha stop with the excuses, he didn't force Duran to get fat. He simply beat him by being smarter the second fight
this is such a tremendous interview. so natural and easy going.
Duran gave him nightmares.
@Viktor Vaughn You must have been watching the undercard.
@@Satch-hl1wb Leonard beat Duran in 11-1980 and 12-1989.
@@nmelkhunter1 Tell us what we don't know Sherlock. But what's that have to with anything? Leonard lost to a better fighter in June, 1980. Duran was a shell of himself six months later and SRL knew it. 12/89 Duran was almost 40. Who cares?
@@Satch-hl1wb The point is If Duran was so great, why wasn’t he on top of his game for each subsequent fight? Duran quit on himself and that doesn’t speak well for his character.
@@nmelkhunter1 He was the greatest lightweight of all time. Highly skilled, and ferocious. His appetites caught up to him as he got older. Whereas Hagler, Hearns, and SRL were always in shape, Duran lived excessively between fights and had to drop weight quickly, leaving him weakened. It was always his Achilles heel. When prepared and zoned in, he dropped bigger men, like Barkley, even at age 38.
I truly believe that Sugar Ray Leonard is the greatest boxer of all time. Speed, finesse, pure talent and grit.
I concur
You need to do more research
Well,they don't come much better, put it that way
@@jeffreydog9850 Robinson? Langford? Gans? Greb? Armstrong? Duran? .....I could go on and on..Leonard was special,..for a brief time
Duran was a better boxer than Leonard. He was five years older, three inches shorter, had eight inches less reach, and he still dominated Leonard.
Ray Charles Leonard (Wilmington, Carolina del Norte, 17 de mayo de 1956) es un ex boxeador profesional estadounidense primero en la historia del boxeo profesional que logró títulos mundiales en cinco categorías, y considerado uno de los mejores, más populares y exitosos boxeadores de todos los tiempos.
68 AÑOS.
Sugar Ray is probably the coolest of the OG fighters....didn't have Ali's showmanship and Tyson's inner rage....but he's just so cool 😎. There's no sense of awkwardness when he's talking to Dick...as you'd see in other interviews with him. To make Dick feel at ease, you gotta be cool lol. But ironically it was Dick's nervousness that made the show fun to watch .
Leonard is the best fighter from the 80's to today. However, I don't buy his explanations for going flat-footed and toe-to-toe with Duran for most of the fight. That he got lured into this strategy by Duran's trash talk and constant curses. That the hype got to him. That's nonsense! He was the bigger guy, a natural welterweight, and had KO'd his last 5 opponents. Including total annihilations of Andy Price in the first round and Davey Green in fourth round. Meanwhile, Duran had not shown the same power at welter as he did as the undisputed lightweight champ with only 4 KO's out of 8 fights. Duran was going up two weight classes, from 135 to 147 lbs. That's a big jump. I think Sugar Ray and Angelo Dundee really believed that if Ray came straight at Duran from the start, his power would eventually be too much for Duran. Also, Dundee felt Duran was not always disciplined with his training. But on this night, Roberto performed at his absolute best, in peak form, and was the better fighter. The Sugar Ray of 5 months later would've still had a difficult fight. IMO, the reality is Duran never got close to this level again.
Good analysis. Duran peaked in June. Fell hard in Nov. And never really made it back to dominance. I think Duran learned that his name could make him millions without him training as hard as he used to. Plus Arcel left and he probably had a bunch of yes men training him.
And Leonard knew Duran would eat and PARTY and gain alot of weight. That's why the second fight happen to fast. On top of that he didn't fight just ran around the ring!
very interesting comments that make alot of sense. Im sure Dundee wouldnt let him fight Duran flat footed
Haha complete twoddle you just wrote, Hagler was the best fighter of the lot of em fact, sugar ray was a fake..!! Your deluded 😆😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sugar Ray... such talent .... was a great fight..... came on after a defeat, has class.. got his revenge so sweetly....
Have to give him credit for going on after a defeat.
Leonard.....Duran came at him in the 1st Fight ....
No finer a pugilist than the great Ray Leonard.
Roberto Duran
@@Bruins-vq5ey nope! SRL was a better boxer than Duran, as was Hagler & Hearns
@@racebannon2332 hahahahhaah
@@racebannon2332 ray Robinson? Sam Langford? Ray not close to the best ever
I don't think this was the best interview Cavett ever had, or Leonard ever gave, but I like it anyway!
I agree. I'm a big fan of both men, but this wasn't Cavett at his best by a long shot.
He feels he won bulshit he needs to be honest with himself give him credit for taking the punishment Duran was a 135 jumping to 147 and gave the media darling Leonard his worst beating
Look at the faces of both fighters at the end of the fight. Leonard was battered. Duran, not a scratch.
Ray was my referee once Hill crest heights MD .The 70s😊
Thank you :)
That little 135 pound guy beat Ray in his prime 147 pounds that was all natural weight on Ray
Ray made a bad choice in fighting Duran style,it cost him.
He underestimated Duran.
All this talk about him fighting his fight because he was upset about Duran cursing and taunting him is not the whole story.
Coming into the fight, Ray was seen as the bigger man, a natural 147 fighting a guy coming up from 135. He never knew Duran would be able to overpower him, much less outbrawl him.
Ray was wrong in all these matters.
In an interview with Howard Cosell a couple of days after the fight in Montreal, Howard asked Ray why he didn't move even when Angelo was yelling at him to move.....Ray said, "because I couldn't, what Duran was doing, he wouldn't let me move, so I had to fight".
Duran didn't give him much of a choice ....And the second they didn't give Duran time to train because they new if Duran was in shape he would have beat Ray again..
It funny that Ray said there's nothing like l beating fighter at his style ...But too beat Duran they didn't give Duran time to train for the second because they new that a in shape Duran was to tuff and mean for Ray to beat..And forget the third fight it took place years after Duran was pass his prime simply put...
@@Yanikleko ...So right
Sugar Ray Robinson was also a tap dancer.
I was there at olympic stadium, 100$ seats were aways away! But still a great fight.
Who else started craving pancakes 🥞 after watching this?
He lost that one The first one, but Christ What a fight that was. Greatest meeting and fight between two boxers EVER? Well if not, name a fight between two better boxers at their peak?? Oh yeah.. you cant.
Duran was almost past his prime when he fought leonard in first fight. Duran prime was in lightweight.
I preferred Leonard vs Hearns 1
Pryor vs Arguello 1
Sugar thought he won ? Oh bullshit. Duran in rd 2 almost kod SRL.
Referee saved him. He let him hold Duran for the rest of the round after he got hurt.
Duran was to tuff for Learned he steamrolled Learned in there first fight..So,they new the only way to beat Duran, they new he gain a lot of weight in between fights partying..So they went behind his back and set him up to loose plain and simple ..By signing him up for the fight knowing he didn't have enough time to get ready..Learned didn't beat Duran in the second fight he was beat before he got in the ring...They new in shape he would have steamrolled Learned again point blink period end of paragraph...Boxing is a dirty business lol
Do you just make all this stuff up in your head. wow . The funny thing you really believe someone would believe one word of what youre saying lmao
All this time me being a Ray Leonard fan blamed Angelo Dundee and Ray's trainer for making the decision to come out flat footed. Mr Cavett asked the main question. Opening this interview. "Who was it that decided to you to come out flat footed" When what got ray to that point was high level boxing not flat footed. Terrible game plan.
he No Mas ‘d him the 2nd time around
because Ray got an out of shape Duran who was in no condition to fight. Ray said it was his 'strategy' to get Duran into the ring at less than 100%. What kind of champ wants to fight his greatest rival when he isn't in shape to fight? Same with Hagler. So Ray waited for Duran to get fat, then Ray threw a ton of money at Duran's handlers to get Duran to sign for a fight they knew he could not be ready for. Duran had no legs in New Orleans, just the way Ray wanted it.
@@blite13 on the flip side, Duran made it so personal with ray for the first fight by making remarks to his wife that ray didnt fight his natural style n box but rather went to 2 toe which was what he did the second time
@@blite13 Duran's fault, not Ray's.
@@sevfan1 then why does Ray admit it was his 'strategy'? Ray paid off Duran's people to convince Roberto to sign. Ray wanted a less than 100% Duran, Ray says it himself. What kind of champ wants to fight his biggest rivals when they weren't at their best? Ray, that is who.
@@blite13 you can slice it any way you want,Leonard has Durans name on his Resume thats the bottom line.
I loved the fight and love Suger
But he was talking crap
He lost the fight full stop
Duran flashed him back to him sitting down talking to his mom "don't be a boxer son". 🤐
Pretty chap
Is he related to stitch Duran.
Saurya Shrestha No LOL he’s not even closely related
Duran should have made Leonard get in line for rematch.
Ray threw a boatload of money at Duran's corner to get Roberto to sign when they all knew Roberto wouldn't be ready for the fight. Ray promised a 3rd fight if Duran went through with it.....the 3rd fight didn't happen till 10 years later when Roberto was completely done.
Michael Jones...They made a big money deal with Duran's manager without talking to Duran...Money over his fighter's health
@@blite13...RIGHT
Rematch was set up. They gave Duran an offer he could not refuse. The less said the better...
Not for 10 million bucks
Sugar Ray can eat on the house.
Wrong strategy Sugar 😅
sugar did not nrsat duran
He looks so much like Floyd
Leonard was both a master boxer and a master bullshitter. Leonard had a reputation as a fancy Dan, so he thought he'd *prove* his macho credentials by going toe to toe with a fighter a full weight division below his natural weight...didn't work out and sugar got battered. Great fighter, but an unlikable and calculating man with a carefully curated career.
Ray look like the Williams sister's.. lol
he wil never be loke duran or ali
This is Sugar Ray at his absolute worst. He's doing some kind of weird impersonation of Ali (probably why he's on Cavett in the first place). Watch him nowadays, he's one of the most impressive athletes you'll ever seen because he gave up the act
It is a banality, but nevertheless:
Most of us are acting and many of us do not like themselves doing it. So being more oneself is a goal to which we may come to in age.
But being on tv is something different and judging someone here is easy.
Srl seems not to have been vain and he was not talking all the time.
And who knows whom ma was impersonating.
Roberto da kigwa duran huwaahahahahhaha
The Duran that fought sugar ray probably could have decisioned or stopped anyone that night.
Lol he looks like a jazz musician.
Well his fists had the rhythm, that's for sure.🎷
He looks like a boxing champ that he was before the first fight with Roberto Duran and after the second fight with Duran 🥊✊🏾👊🏾
Miles
He looks like a dancer or singer but he was a heck of a stinger 🥊💪🏻
For having been the world champion, his humbleness is stunning. He's the type of person you'd want to hang out with and reflect on life matters.
Sugar Ray has a soft voice....not Tyson soft, just soft enough where I wonder if he ever thought about giving music a try-it sounds like a good voice to me!
Los panameños le tenemos respeto un gran respeto a Sugar, in the first fight, the panamanian knew was going too dificult for Duran to win to Leonard
Ray Leonard is a great Boxer, but Duran was also great, and Ray you lost the first fight, accept it
"Maricon" was the name that Benny Paret allegedly called Emile Griffith at the weigh-in prior to their tragic rubber match in 1962, which resulted in Paret's death.
Sugar RAY is a bloody nice guy.
He’s one of the best, my bloody Brit friend
Even if I consider myself a fan of Duran, I have nothing but admiration for Ray. Nothing but admiration for hearns, hagler, Benitez, Barkley, buchanan, de Jesus, palomino, Moore etc. It takes a lot from a man to do what these guys did. All of them are true warriors and superb technicians. Especially the 4 walk in their own realm. It’s just astonishing what they did, always remained or regained their class. Nothing to f*** with the oldschool.
Crazy how they say one nights work. Boxers spend weeks or months training some in isolation with strict diets. They’re in the gym every day. And the kill themselves to make weight I’ve heard of boxers only being able to eat oranges or grapes for a day just to make weight.
And he did not choose to fight Duran's style. He had no choice.
Props to him for letting it go to decision
He definitely CHOSE to. From the first bell he came out flat footed
@@Bob-eo6uh I agree, he wanted to beat him at his own game. Duran would try the same tactics in the rematch but Sugar knew better that time! Halcyon days indeed.
Well the 2nd & 3rd fight end this foolishness now doesn't it Lol
@@unorthodox7945 After smashing Leonard in their first fight, Duran gave him a rematch 5 months later. Leonard would make Duran wait another 9 years before daring to get in the ring with him again.
Best interviewer of all time
Love these! Thank you for posting!
from no perspective did he win that first fight though he fought valiantly
The greatest, Greatest
Nope
@@rogermartin798 he is that 🐐 the man
@@hollywoodeditz9099 his idols are even greater than him
Duran won because Sugar didn’t stick and move and stay on his toes use the whole ring he chose to stay flat footed and brawl with the man they called “ Hands of stone “ which was a very bad idea one that he corrected in the second fight which he won.
Young SLR looks like he belongs to the Jackson 5.
Ray had the charisma 🥊
He had charisma ..That's all he had when it came Duran if they would have give Duran time to train he would beat Ray again in the second it wasn't a fair but they new that if Duran had time to train he would have beat Ray again ..
I like Ray but Hearns won the last time they fought . It was nice Ray admitted that
You lost ray
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos on YT.
Pretty good interview by Dick Cavett.
He didn’t ask the usual boxing expert questions.
That outfit goes crazy
Sugar Ray was a fake and the worst fighter of the big 4, hagler been the king ..!!👎
Hagler only stayed in ONE division
Um... Leonard is king of 5 division.
Really? SLR 6 division world champion.. hagler stay in one division which is the super middleweight.
Ray Leonard was such a great star. A beautiful fighter that had hands of lightning speed and could still thunder. His win against Tommy Hearns in their first battle was historic. What a comeback!
To boxing aficionados out there, do you buy this MMA argument that the boxer punches harder than an MMA fighter because the gloves are smaller. They claim that because boxing gloves are bigger, and more cushion, boxers can punch harder and not hurt their hands.
Sugar cheated on second and third fights against duran.second fight ,duran fat out of shape,third fight was done 7 years later.
"I was there." Great line.
The amount of arrogance from TV presenters like this man back in the day. Still not sure how someone agreed to give him his own show. . I hope he give it back..
How was Cavett arrogant...?
I used worship this guy when younger,looking at it now he had the American middle class vote too much,Hagler beat him
Yeah but ray leonard got the best out of the four kings. He wasn't the strongest but he had the most talent.
Ray look like King von
ThAts natural in unfamiliar situations
There's three kings and then there's him , play at his own game well tell that to hagler
Cavett has repeatedly talked to guys that could easily kill him like they can’t lol
Am I the only one, but he sounds like Tyson here... weird
the peoples champ
Great to see..
Yowww gavett suit is trash wtf !smh
Class act
5:33 Lmao. They just went and said that word. Times were different back then.
I still would say it
@kenneth beach Damn you're so cool bro!
Amazing how stupid people have become.
Would you consider changing the racially insensitive thumbnail on this video? I love your channel, I'm sure it was just a mistake. Thanks!
How is it racial stop making everything about race
