The LA Daily News is reporting that plans are being made for a feature film based on the life story on perhaps the greatest Beltway Boxer of all time -- Sugar Ray Leonard.
The movie is scheduled to be written by acclaimed author H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger, who wrote one of the greatest sports books of all time -- the Texas high school football odyssey Friday Night Lights.
Bissinger plans to conduct interviews with Leonard's friends, family, associates and opponents over the next six months. The movie is scheduled to be produced by Red Bird Cinema, whose founders include actor Kevin Pollack and St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. Production on the movie is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2008.

F Sugar Ray! I had to get that out there, everybody gets trashed on this site!
While I'm at it, F Mark Johson too! I don't like that jackass!
F You Too!!!
Obviously, another person who has an ax to grind but doesn't have the guts to put the name to it.
So because Leonard and Johnson made tremendous strides and the Peterson Brothers are on the path to make strides but you didn't for whatever reason, you're angry.
At least have the guts to explain what they did to you. Otherwise, keep your "F's" to yourself!
will the movie be filmed in the D.C. area?
do they need an extra? i'm available!
That's Right! You anonymous punks get the "F" out!
Gary- why do you not delete this baloney the moment it goes up. These mindless comments take down the whole quality of the site.
Because everyone is entitled to their opinion...even when it's wrong.
That's right Gary! You tell 'em! By the way, F that guy!
