color: #333333; line-height: 19.5px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He fought as a welterweight contender in the 1970s and 1980s, losing by a 10th round technical knockout to Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19.5px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I fought Sugar Ray Leonard with one hand.
