Sugar Ray Leonard – Often regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, Leonard competed professionally between 1977 and 1997, winning world titles in five weight classes; the lineal championship in three weight classes. The fight in which this video is showcasing is the highly controversial “No Mas” fight in New Orleans. In the closing seconds of the eighth round, Durán turned his back to Leonard and quit, saying to referee Octavio Meyran, “No Más” (English: “No more”). Leonard was the winner by a technical knockout at 2:44 of round eight, regaining the WBC Welterweight Championship.

Sugar Ray Leonard at his absolute best! This is one of his greatest performances as he learned from his mistakes in the Brawl in Montreal and used his superior speed / movement to outbox and befuddle Duran. 2 of the greatest of all time but on this night Leonard was tactically perfect and completely dominated a P4P legend. https://www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
I remember that “no mas “ moment, amazing.
Lets not forget that,
Duran won the 1st fight
No Mas!
Fights like this are the reasons I can't watch Mayweather
One of the greatest performances ever. Complete victory on every level.
The best ever.the faster ever the smarter ever.the king of the century
Shades of Ali quickness
I was at the brawl in Montreal!
That weight, that era, amazing.
Sugar Ray was a great fighter but he had an easy go of it with a past your prime, Roberto Duran. 🤷♂️
Would have loved seeing both Leonard and Mayweather in their prime.
This was the "no mas" fight, Duran had gorged himself and felt ill, or so the story goes.
It's very important to note that Duran kicked Leonard's ass in the first fight and the second fight was a complete fix!!
Sugar Ray Leonard was a phenomenal fighter and a class act.
not many people can have the courtesy to tell someone they taunted Duran to his face and still won the fight after
The "no mas" fight.
Looks like a whole lotta running & staying away in the biggest ring they could find
To make an elite level fighter like Duran just quit like that… Sugar Ray was like the next leap forward in boxing evolution.
cant fight a man when he is down. lost to duran
Duran's quit tactic seemed nothing more than exhaustion mixed with pure frustration. SRL was in excellent form and even with his antics and flashy moves wowing the crowd, he outclassed Duran in that fight. Duran was effectively being mocked by SRL's showy trickery which riled him up beyond his fitness level.
Loved watching Roberto get stronger and meaner with each new round, he was a beast.
Master class was the one that Duran gave him in the first fight, for that fight he had gone in very bad conditions, if he had trained it would have been different, Leonard was younger, he was at his natural weight and had more reach and size than Duran and Even so, this one beat him.
This era was not only one of the greatest in boxing, but it was one of the greatest in a lot of areas…
SRL is another MA.
Sugar Ray owned Duran that night. It was awesome to watch.
parece pelea callejera.
Sugar Ray always ran from fighters he knew couldn't beat. Marvin Hagler says Sugar Ray was the only fighter who ran from him. He was running and clowning in this rematch, I don't blame Duran. Stop running and fight!
SRL had such flair that you couldn’t help but like him.
Haja energia e condicionamento para essa movimentação, muito top
I love it when SRL gives him that “look”, like he’s saying “That all you got, sucka?” And then spins his right arm around while his left goes BAM!
I always hated Duran so to see him get demolished like this was great
Leonard looks far bigger and stronger in the upper body for this fight than he did the first one. This increased strength was key, as Duran wasn't able to wrestle him into the ropes as before and control Leonard's positioning. When he tried, Leonard controlled Duran, spun off of the ropes, and nailed him. This was a major source of Duran's frustration, who was at a loss for how to win and gave up rather than suffer the long night and an inevitable beating.
His footwork is mesmerizing.
I never understood why Leonard being such a nice boxer had to behave like a clown some times…not necessary.. he had the punch, speed and technique for giving a great show without buffooneries!
After Duran's antics and insults leading up to the first fight, Duran deserved to be embarrassed like this.
Leonard decided to run in the 2nd fight because he lost the 1st one.
No Mas.
O Duran ja estava consagrado. 72 lutas apenas uma derrota e o calçao preto fugindo o tempo inteiro. So o Bolt pra pegar o outro cara. – Ah. Tenho mais o que fazer ! e foi curtir ferias.
Float like a dragonfly and sting like a wasp.
SRL GOAT
Duran sold himself out in this fight, Leonard didn't do anything special.
Jackass
Duran said f–k this im not chasing this chicken for 12 rounds
This was the rematch after Roberto Duran beat sugar ray. It came out later that Roberto hurt his hand and was partying and came into the fight overweight. So i wouldnt exactly call it a master class. But the late 70s and into the eighties was definitely a golden era in boxing.
no mas
I was a sophomore in high school at the time of this fight, yet my memory of this fight wasn't so distant in the past. Feeling a bit nostalgic, America was a much better place in the 80s…..
Leonard also did the same stuff in their third fight, trying to get Duran to quit again, he didn't but he looked tense, often not punching back at Leonard, cut Leonard badly though, but still lost nearly all rounds
Marvin Hagler beat the crap out of Sugar Ray twice. Ray had the Judges in his pocket.
IMHO
Leonard great Boxeur
