Today marks the 57th birthday of "Sugar" Ray Leonard, one of the biggest sports personalities of the eighties. After winning a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal Leonard began a quest to becoming an entire brand onto himself.

Aaron Pryor was more than a star he was a man whose career is eerily reminiscent of a supernova, that great cosmic event where for a few moments in time an explosion in a galaxy outshines everything around it until fading away.

We’re starting a new feature: Friday Night Fights. Not exactly a new concept in the boxing world, but hey, what better way to get the weekend stared than watching some of the best fights of all time? We decided to do this right, so the first one we’re bringing you is the 1981 showdown between “Sugar” Ray Leonard and our main cat Tommy “Hitman” Hearns. Something that we rarely see nowadays is two of the best in their weight class go face to face and mix it up. That was just a regular occurrence back in the 80’s when Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, “Sugar” Ray and Marvin Hagler proved they were willing to put fears of records aside and let the action inside be the ultimate decider. So let’s get this kicked off right, enjoy.
