Sugar Ray Leonard Movie In Works!

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.

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!
