at the peppercorns restaurant which was a half a mile away from where i started this crazy journey quit my job opened my first law firm i used to go there twice a week to have lunch i love it we're in the back you know in a beautiful private area and the love the empathy the fun the presence the man flew in exhausted i had no thought that he would even go to dinner last night And there he is at dinner, and I'm sitting next to him shoulder to shoulder.

And I will not call you. I don't want to get punched again. So I will not call you Mr. Actually, I do want to get punched again. I would love if you punched me, like, ten more times. That would be amazing because then I could, like, go home and be, like, you know, I could take pictures and have a black eye and say Sugar Ray Leonard gave it to me. So, it's amazing. So, Mr. Liner, just how are you? Like, how is life? Like, what's going on? What are you up to, please? I know you told me last night, but what do you want to tell these people about where your life is now, and then we'll go back to the beginning. You know, I just feel so blessed from where I've been, from what I've done, from what I created.
What personal struggles did Sugar Ray Leonard face after achieving fame?
The thing about it, I'm shy, not confrontational, but sociable, if that makes any sense. But you know what, guys, I'm a blessed man. I mean, from what I've done, from where I've been, from what took place from day one. It's like when I won the gold medal in the Olympics. I mean, there was nothing, nothing compared to that. I mean, winning the gold medal, because we were not expected to win anything, and we won five gold medals. But coming home, my whole vision was to go to the University of Maryland, further my education, get a good job, take care of my wife and my kids, my family. But you know what? It got even better than that. I was able to inspire people. Because people tell you what they can't do.
They say, you can't do this, you can't do that. But you know what? You have to believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will. Let's hear for that. And so Ray, and this is what Esmond called him, I would call him Mr. Leonard, and he threatened to punch me again if I called him Mr. Leonard. But Ray... Could have gone to the University of Maryland on academic scholarship. He's a brilliant man. And he did not want to box professionally after the Olympics. His goal was to represent our country and to win the Olympic gold medal. And after he did, to be complete. But then he had his dad and his mom, his family, and the beautiful things he wanted to do. So he went into professional boxing. But is there anything from your childhood, Ray, they'd want this group to know about how that began to form and shape who you were?
Anything in your childhood, growing up in Maryland, or do you want to jump right into leading up to the Olympics and your boxing career?
