Sugar Ray Leonard
(Painting, Poetry & Quotes)
By. David Rene Arredondo
Sugar Ray Leonard began as an youthful Olympic, at only 20 years old,
After his conquer of Andres Aldama, one of the best would unfold.
He fought with self-belief as he jabbed with a grin,
Knocking Aldama to his knees with a left hook to the chin.
Sugar Ray Leonard was a boxing world class,
He punished Roberto Duran, “No Mas, No Mas!”
He out boxed Ayub Kalule and defeated Thomas Hearns,
He scored a second world title, retired then returned.
Marvin Hagler gave Leonard hell but stood his ground,
Both fighters were ranked the best, pound for pound.
At the old age of 40, Leonard in conclusion met his match,
He was defeated by the younger Camacho; the fight would be his last.
Leonard then announced to the press after making it over the hill,
Quote, “The journey is over, the dream fulfilled”
