Happy Birthday to one of the most colorful and greatest boxers in boxing history: Sugar Ray Leonard is 70! Wow!

Happy Birthday, champ!

Time flies!

Great fighter and always seemed like a great guy. When he was fighting, it seemed like everyone I knew that followed boxing (there were a lot of people back then) was a fan of him.

Happy Big 70 for SRL!

Did he post any video this year of him hitting the heavy bag to mark the occasion ?

Man, I remember him in the OLympics- 50 years ago.

No, he didn't. But, Sugar Ray looks like at 70 that he could still go in the ring with anybody. He looked very fit for his age. As a matter of fact, he looks like 30 years younger.

Happy belated birthday, Sugar Ray. Remember when him and Juanita got married. Unfortunately, that situation with his son kinda lingers, hope it's straightened out.

That's my favorite fight of all-time. I remember the build up for the fight and everything. It was one the most unforgettable nights in boxing in a decade of unforgettable fights. I love the 80s!
