Remember PLANET ROY???... REED Ain't Casting Aspersions Upon Another Man's Religion, Brother Hut...Or, as Jameel McCline Said about Lance Whittaker, "If a Man Wants to Call Himself 'GOOFI', I Gotta Respect That." REED
Brother LOK, do you think if Duran had mounted Leonard that Leonard would have said "MAS! MAS! MAS! MAAAAAAAAAS"?
I don't know about anyone else but I didn't particularly enjoy it. It didn't provide additional insight or tell me anything I didn't previously know. Did anyone honestly expect Duran to change his story? I didn't. Plus, I've always found Sugar Ray Leonard to be a massive phony. This documentary didn't do anything to change my opinion.
agREED on NOT Learning Anything New... REED Saw Some Behind the Scenes Footage he'd Never Seen Before, but that was about it...REED Didn't Expect Duran to Make a Startling Revelation Either... REED Thought Leonard Came Across Pretty GENUINE Though...He Admitted to Being INTIMIDATED by Duran, Prior to their 1st Fight...& When he Said he was Always Told to SMILE in Front of the Camera, Then LITERALLY SMILED Into the Camera, REED LOL'ed... REED::
Plus, it wasn't untila few years ago he admitted to Hearns that Hearns won the rematch. I'm glad Duran wouldn't give ray what he wanted. The idea that Ray "felt sorry" and forgave Duran is horseshit. Purely done to make him seem like the bigger guy.
I always like Ray, but I lived in Maryland and have been in his gym etc...he was always very nice to us that said.. He is an actor, super smiley etc but a KILLER in the ring
Most fans of Leonard remember him for his sweet smile and lightning-fast hands, as a transcendent and breakout celebrity in a brutal profession. But by Page 36 of “The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring,” to be published next month by Viking, Leonard has mentioned his cocaine use, growing up in a home with alcohol abuse and domestic violence, luckily surviving a car wreck with his mother at the wheel, almost drowning in a creek as a child who was unable to swim, and fathering a son at 17. Two pages later, Leonard delivers the book’s bombshell while indirectly addressing a growing concern in the sports industry at large. He reveals publicly for the first time that he was sexually abused as a young fighter by an unnamed “prominent Olympic boxing coach.” Leonard writes that when the coach accompanied him as a 15-year-old and another young fighter to a boxing event in Utica, N.Y., in 1971, he had the teenagers take a bath in a tub of hot water and Epsom salts while he sat on the other side of the bathroom. They suspected “something a bit inappropriate” was occurring but did not want to question a strong male authority figure. Several years later, Leonard describes sitting in a car in a deserted parking lot across from a recreation center, listening intently as the same coach, said to be in his late 40s, explained how much a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics would mean to his future. Leonard was flattered, filled with hope, as any young athlete would be. But he writes: “Before I knew it, he had unzipped my pants and put his hand, then mouth, on an area that has haunted me for life. I didn’t scream. I didn’t look at him. I just opened the door and ran.”
Lol @ Duran explaining that he ate 3 HOT...VERY HOT. Steaks...and drank very very cold water with them and that was the mistake he made that damaged his stomach LOLOLOL
Lol It's almost just a ridiculous...he says he had HOT coffee..and it did something to him He also said he ate 3 HOT HOT steaks..with COLD Water and that destroyed his stomach
Which is Complete & Utter BULLSHIT, Given the FACT Duran ALREADY Had OVER 70 Fights to that Point...He KNEW what it Took to Be Prepared on Fightnight...He KNEW about Cutting Weight, Replenishing, etc.... Again, Duran's Own Countrymen DIDN'T Believe his Accuse & Neither Did his Trainer, Ray Arcel, who RESIGNED from Working Duran's Corner, After the "No Mas" Fight... REED:hammert:
