Roger Leonard was a professional boxer, and was the older brother of boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard.

[edit] Amateur career

Leonard, like his brother, had an outstanding amateur career. He was the 1978 National AAU Welterweight champion. In addition, he was a four-time United States Air Force Champion.

[edit] Professional career

Nicknamed Roger "The Dodger", Leonard turned pro in 1978 and failed to live up to his amateur success. Although he was featured on the undercards of Sugar Ray [1], he was unable to compete at an elite level. He retired in 1982 after having won 16 fight and lost 1 fight.
