About this episode

In this podcast, Tai Lopez sits down with boxing icon Sugar Ray Leonard to discuss his rise from a shy, non-confrontational kid to one of the greatest fighters of all time. Sugar Ray shares stories of perseverance, from being bullied by his brother to overcoming early setbacks in the ring. He reveals the discipline and mindset required to master boxing’s "sweet science," the importance of a strong team, and how psychological tactics played a crucial role in his legendary battles—especially against Roberto Duran.
