Talk:Sugar Ray Leonard

Split proposal
Leonard–Hagler is gigantically significant enough to warrant its own article. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:13, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * And what is in the Hagler article is so long that it unbalances the article. I agree there should be a separate article Leonard-Hagler, or may be better Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Leonard, in the same style as Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns and Larry Holmes vs. Gerry Cooney.

Hyperlink to Andy Price in Professional Boxing Record section table
The Andy Price link is wrong - sends user to the British composer instead of an American boxer. 2A00:F41:585C:F524:949:9E17:D64C:8325 (talk) 09:07, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Sugar Ray
The article on Sugar Ray Robinson states that Sugar Ray Leonard took his nickname in homage to Sugar Ray Robinson, but this article states that Leonard was given the sobriquet by an assistant coach for being "sweet as sugar." I suppose it could be a little of both, but I feel there should at least be a line of text reconciling the apparent contradiction in one or, preferably, both articles.

This article specifically states that had Leonard not been given the monicker by his coach, Leonard would likely eventually have received the monicker after Sugar Ray Robinson anyway due to Leonard's fighting style and first name, implying the name indeed was not initially given with regard to Robinson.

On a side note, it is odd to find such hypothetical speculation in an encyclopedia article, but I actually prefer it when common or likely questions are specifically addressed directly in the text. 66.91.36.8 (talk) 19:05, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Record
I think he fought Howard Davis and a boxer last name Goinz. I don't se it on the record you have 24.189.176.166 (talk) 02:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
