Duran Duran Sugar Ray Leonard defeated a disappointing Roberto Duran in a unanimous 12-round decision at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas on December 7, 1989. Leonard rose to prominence in the boxing world throughout the 1980s, filling a void left by Muhammad Ali's retirement in 1981. The 30-year-old Cuban-American was considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. During that time, he held the WBC and lineal titles, as well as the WBA "regular" title. He also had success with both the jab and uppercut, having trained under former greats Efren Reyes and Nino Benitez. His career was cut short when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1991 and underwent surgery the following year. After his recovery, he returned to the ring but lost his last two fights before retiring again in 1993. Leonard started out as an amateur boxer who won the gold medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics at age 19. He went on to have a successful pro career, accumulating over $7 million in wins (including 16 by knockout). He is one of only eight fighters to win championships in four different weight classes (and the only one still active at 36 years old). Besides his boxing skills, what makes Sugar Ray unique is his energetic dance moves during concerts, which often get him arrested by police officers for public intoxication.
