Watching this video reminds me how popular a sport boxing was back then. Hard to imagine nowadays for a boxer but Sugar Ray was a very popular public figure back then in America. An Olympic champion with charisma who was sort of a hero in America. Hard to describe to a younger generation - but your mother knew who he was - she might not watch the fight but she knew who he was and had a positive view of him.
Marcos le dió, por dónde quiso, un empate era lo mejor, aunque bailaron a Leonard (lo mejor es una máxima estrella de las peleas de todos los tiempos) Leonard 🥊 uno de mis ídolos!!!!!!!;
Excellent performance by Leonard. He showed everything in this fight vs a big, strong, middleweight. It's mind blowing to think that there are actually some people (clueless teenagers mostly to be fair but the occasional adult that ought to know better) that pick Mayweather over Leonard at welterweight. I don't even think it would be a necessarily close fight. I think it would be a frustrating fight for Ray due to Floyd's defensive skills, but ultimately a clear and decisive win for Ray, similar to the Benitez fight. Leonard is the best welterweight of the last 50 years. A brilliant and complete fighter.
@@ualreadyknow9746 More of a showman, Ali wannabe.... and definitely a skater that "fought" only 30 seconds out of every round, the man was a media darling and you can see the bias from the narrator's comments, Hagler beat the crap out of him and they gave it to Leonard!
@@Harrygton It's been 33 years & you Hagler fanboys are still weeping in your beer about your beloved loser; I've half a mind to come out of retirement, search for you, drag you in the ring, & give a boxing exhibition at your expense....go, Leonard!!!!
Geraldo was a big man compared to Ray and could box well enough but he stood too close to the opponent and ray was elusive and threw devastating combination punches, especially against welterweights and was nearly unbeatable at his weight class in his prime .
First time Leonard had double vision according to his book. This is really where his eye problems began. Dundee over estimated when picking his opponent.
WOW!! Sugar Ray Leonard you are the GOAT!! People what you have just witnessed was a METHODICAL surgically precision technician who put on a boxing CLINIC against a man who was 3 inches taller with a considerable reach advantage as well as a heavier man. But my IDOL & HERO Sugar Ray Leonard put that work on Geraldo who was a gutsy and fierce fighter in his own right, but he was no match at all for the SUGAR MAN, Ray made it look easy. Ray was FEARLESS, TENACIOUS, GRITTY, COURAGEOUS with the EYE Of the TIGER & THE HEART OF A LION. I still get chill bumps everytime i see my all time favorite athlete in all of sports. I had the opportunity to meet him and get his autograph back in the good ol 70's and he was a humble and truly great guy! Ray represents the DMV and believe me we have plenty of brothers in the DMV who can throw the hands because we all loved the SUGAR MAN and wanted to be just like him, i LOVE you CHAMP and we all are still as proud of you today as we were back then CHAMP❤👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Sugar ray Leonard really impressed me in this fight. Beating a longer height , reach, and weight fighter with a Mexican heart and skills was very difficult. One of those wins that are not fully appreciated in a legendary hall of fame career.
I have the fight as 7 rds for Leonard 1 even & 2 for Geraldo. That's 98-93 for Leonard. Although Leonard dominated most of the fight, it wasnt an overwhelming dominance. In every round Geraldo had at least 1 good flurry &, imo, won rounds 7 & 8 meanwhile managing to keep the 9th even. I think that was Leonard's toughest fight up to that point & certainly served as a tremendous learning experience.
Angelo Dundee wanted Leonard to fight a big strong super welterweight/middleweight as part of Leonard's development and it was a gut check fight for Leonard . Steep learning curve . See fighters fought like every month back then cause you had to & it was good for the fighters development.
I read in one of my brother in laws boxing mags in the 1980's where Sugar Ray said Geraldo was the hardest puncher he ever fought. He said something like "even his pawing jabs were painful." Lastly, Ray later changed his story and said Hearns was the hardest puncher he ever faced.
In Sugar's book he said this in the most damage he ever took as a Pro and he thinks this was the fight that intially created the detached retina problem
Leonard was a miniature Ali starting to peak in his career. 🗣But the Mexican Middleweight was a tough out and took Leonard's best shots. Some of them shots by Leonard were clean too. 🗣♊️👤RISING
Mike Trainer had no business putting Leonard in with a prime Marcos, it coulda' ended very different with Leonard taking the loss. All due respect to Marcos who tells some real great stories about Leonard, Hagler & Hearns.
+M Jan Could be, however, Mike Trainer had the final say as to which opponent they should select. Spoke to Marcos recently, he was ready for this one and considers Leonard the "easiest" of the 3 "top" Champs he faced (Hagler & Hearns the other two). After watching Leonard stagger from Marcos' left hook , you can see why! Two absolutely great fighters, despite the fact Marcos never won a world title. He's a good man to this day.
Tf wym nigga so u would rather see an old marcos then a prime if he was older he wouldnt have been able to put up a good fight like he would now in this video
Only the Original "Sugar Ray" was better. When you can beat the Middleweght Champion of the world with only 1 fight under your belt 3 years prior in a 5 year span, there's not much left t ok say. Pound for Pound, the "Sugar-Man" comes in at #2 ALL TIME!!!
Ese legado lo ben valorar el zurdo ramirez, chavez JR Jaime Munguía y cuanto peso grande mexicano quiera derrotar a los mejores como lo hizo en esta pelea Marcos Geraldo. ver la cara de Leonard.
When Leonard got headbutted in this fight he told Dundee he saw three of Geraldo. Dundee said hit the one in the middle, Leonard did, and that's why he won :P
Tremendo peleador este Gerardo,esta vez lo estudiaron a Leonard y el árbitro no lo pudo ayudar,un poco mas y pide una bicicleta para correr para mi fue un robo a Gerardo no podia perder Leonard porque las pérdidas serian catastróficas para el showbisnes.Saludos desde Lima.
"The head of Leonard". "The face of Geraldo". Instead of "Leonard's head" or "Geraldo's face". So weird that boxing commentators don't use possessive forms of names.
Leonard wrote about this fight in his book. He said everything went wrong that this guy was supposed to have no chin and he cracked Leonard good. His lawyer mike trainer told off Dundee about picking the wrong opponent
The speed of sugar ray, the determination of marvelous marvin Hagler, and the power of George foreman! No that would be the ultimate fighting machine. Lolololol
WHOEVER ANNOUNCED THIS FIGHT SHOULD BE FIRED HIS DESCRIPTION WAS COMPLETELY FAVORING LEANORD .AND MOST OBSERVERS WANTED THEIR MONEY BACK CUZ THE CHAMPION DID NOTHING BUT RUN AWAY FOR TEN FUCKING ROUNDS.
I nominate Roberto Duran as although of the greatest fighters winning 4 weight titles, the absolute worst loser in boxing history. Often a great sportsman when he wins, like with Barkley, but sourpuss like with Benitez. It will be a long time before he loses that ranking.
Cory Anthony Cory Mugabi was unorthodox and extremely naturally strong as it would have taken me a bit to figure him out and break him down as Marvin Hagler did with him!
Ray misses a really quick counter jab to the body at 4:06. Another nice counter jab from Ray at 4:08 Ray misses a right hand at 4:42, his jab was far sharper than his right hand here. Misses another right at 4:44 but clinches well after he punches.
Alejandro, en parte de acuerdo. Pero le faltó un buen apoderado, un buen mánager que lo dirigieran adecuadamente. a mí me tocó verlo pelear sin mánager en la esquina con un auxiliar. Checar cómo se movía en el ring, imaginarlo peleando con un Chávez Jr. en súper welter, compara la calidad boxística.
CONOCI A MARCOS EN GUAYMAS EN 79" ERA UN GRAN BOXEADOR DE LA CALLE 25 PELEO CON LOS MEJORES ,Y CASI SIEMPRE LE ROBABAN LA PELEA ,SALUDOS CAMPEON HASTA GUAYMAS DESDE TIJUANA B,C
My uncle was a great experience fighter at the moment, yes all you guys are right, he must be knocked out by Leonard in the 4th round because it was the arrangement" Pelea arreglada amigos" that's the real truth but as a warrior without fear he fought till the end of the fight, an underdog vs an olympic gold medalist hero
So is your uncle real? Wow, cool. At that time, Marcos was Sugar's toughest rival, and Sugar himself called your uncle the strongest fighter he had ever met (well, physically), in addition, he gave a tough fight even then to peak Hagler. I also remember that he beat one of the best welterweight fighters and unofficial world champion - Armando Muniz, who was robbed in a fight with the legendary champion. Marcos was a tough boxer
The 5 ft 11, dark-skinned Mexican was a huge middleweight. Geraldo also gave Hagler a very tough, close fight. I think several fighters knocked Geraldo out cold before the first round could even end. However, if Geraldo managed to get past the first round, he was A MURDEROUS CHALLENGE FOR THE VERY BEST. Reminds me a little of Ken Norton, another puncher that could be taken out very early but who was a real challenge once past the 1st or 2nd round.
See this is very interesting when people compare Lenard and Floyd Cause here you see Lenard fighting a legit middle weight who rehydrated back up to 160 while he comes in at 153 he’s a bigger stronger man then Floyd at welterweight Remember Floyd came up to welter from the light weights I think he would have had trouble with Lenard! And Duran and Hearns! I Love Floyd he did what they didn’t! On the business side of boxing Floyd has no equal but in that ring at welterweight he’s down the list on my top ten at welter now at light weight he much higher but would have loved to seen him against Chavez Duran even Pernell not to mention Camacho
Yeah Harry I agree with you. If you want to add one more name... Just think what a Prime Arron Pryor 140lb even 147lb vs Floyd would have look like.... not good for Floyd hahhaa!. The Hawk would have been on him like a overcoat, with punches raining on him from everywhere!
Travis the chimp Yeah Pryor was trying to get a fight with Lenard and I think he beat Hearns in the amateurs He would have been a hell of a test for Floyd Its amazing how many greats all showed up at the same time! I started boxing in like 79 and I was in Waugh of these fighters Lenard used the mental game very well too I’m just appreciating that aspect of his game he was definitely influenced by Ali and shows incredible heart in this fight and others!
See how Ray sets up an opening with his jab then lands the right, commented on Roy Jones using this basic move in round 5 v McCallum because he simply didn`t try that for five rounds in that fight and the first Griffin fight that`s why I feel Ray could of beat Roy even at middle. Caught Geraldo with a right at 4:58, lovely hand speed.
A dream match, Sugar Ray vs Salvador Sanchez- Salvador vs M. Heraldo-Tommy Hearns vs Salvador Sanchez- Salvador S. vs Aaron Pryor / Duran vs S. Sanchez / A. Pryor vs Duran/ there could have been a better promoter out there, these would have been worth paying for.
wow..those are potentially great fights. so many quality fighters at that time. much respect to Marcos geraldo. he and Leonard gave a great performance.
Sanchez was a 125 pound Featherweight while all of the other fighters you mention were junior welterweights, welterweights and higher. The only fights that MIGHT have happened if their times at like weights coincided, were Sanchez (Featherweight 125 pounds) and Duran (when he was a lightweight at 135 pounds) and young Aaron Pryor (who was for a short time a lightweight at 135 pounds but quickly moved to junior welter at 140). The other fights couldn't have happened ever due to huge disparities in weight.
Guys were too big for Salvador who had problems with Azumah Nelson. Arguello would have been a good test for Sal but I believer Arguello would have won that fight

This was before he won the title against Benitez. He hadn't met Tommy hernes at that point

The king of the ring he definitely got a soul of a winner never gave up until the victory comes to him. Legend Sugar Ray
One of the most intense and most evenly matched fights ever! Where does Leonard get his energy??? What conviction to win! Marcos was excellent!
No way. A fighter on cocaine couldn't track everything.
Mexican fighters are tough..........
Black fighters are tougher and rougher.
African American fighters mostly are raised in the poorest communities in America.
He aint Mexican, moron!
Geraldo had 60 fights at 24 yrs. old. The Mexicans often turned pro at 14 or 15. LOL.
Marcos Geraldo was mostly a good sport after every hellish fight he fought. 😇
Sugar ray es único se canso de pegarle ganador indiscutible..Geraldo va al frente pero no tiene nada de cintura se comía todas las trompadas!!

Right
Ray had a tremendous left hook.
Geraldo reminds me of Arguello, though not quite as polished.
Yes
And did not hit nearly as hard either
Geraldo was one tough fighter!
WHY is the REF always in the way.. He is not moving out of the way and that's a concern. No point in having a FAT Ref that cannot move..
I think the fight was a lot closer than they scored it. If it was in Mexico, the decision might have been different. Marcos thru a lot more punches.
JamesrPQ
And he had 10 lbs on Ray.
JamesrPQ how many did he land tho?
Agree 100 Percent 😎
Most of those punches didnt land
Que robadon le dieron a Marcos yo vi esa pelea y pues te una que cuidar al invicto olímpico leonard
Ray not only had good hands,he had a very strong chin.
Always in tip-top shape.
That was a good fight.

@@sherrillraymond7595 That's because his prime years was At welter weight

A dream match, Sugar Ray vs Salvador Sanchez- Salvador vs M. Heraldo-Tommy Hearns vs Salvador Sanchez- Salvador S. vs Aaron Pryor / Duran vs S. Sanchez / A. Pryor vs Duran/ there could have been a better promoter out there, these would have been worth paying for.
wow..those are potentially great fights. so many quality fighters at that time. much respect to Marcos geraldo. he and Leonard gave a great performance.
Sanchez was a 125 pound Featherweight while all of the other fighters you mention were junior welterweights, welterweights and higher. The only fights that MIGHT have happened if their times at like weights coincided, were Sanchez (Featherweight 125 pounds) and Duran (when he was a lightweight at 135 pounds) and young Aaron Pryor (who was for a short time a lightweight at 135 pounds but quickly moved to junior welter at 140). The other fights couldn't have happened ever due to huge disparities in weight.
@aaron pryor something's seriously wrong w you
Guys were too big for Salvador who had problems with Azumah Nelson. Arguello would have been a good test for Sal but I believer Arguello would have won that fight
@iwant2usethis I believe that... But it would have been a closer fight Then many think 🤔 Alexis had problems with boxers
Sugar ray, would have beaten Mayweather, jr. With no problem. Sugar ray whipped Floyd, sr. With no problem. I have that on DVD!!
