Some of you sound ignorant AF.

Child Molestation can include mental conditioning to get the victim to accept the abuse. No different than girls who get molested then go on to continue having sex with the molester as a grown woman.

This is mental and physical. Boxing abilities aren't going to save him from that.
not past a certain age. no amount of mental conditioning will allow you to let yourself continue to get abused after you get to a certain age where you understand what's happening and can defend yourself. even if that means getting your ass whipped.

He clearly got groomed by a predator as a young teen and coerced into sexual acts as a young adult. Imagine coming from nothing and finding a mentor that not only helps you be successful but validates you as well. Validation from a trusted, respected elders is like crack to young people. Weirdo Breh probably had all kinds of gay blackmail on him which would have destroyed Sugar Ray at the time.

So much trash analysis in this thread. I hate victim blaming, shyt is a cancer. This is why so many predators run amok in the black community.

The 55-year-old Leonard, who retired in 1997 with a 36-3-1 record, told the NY Times that the coach, who he called “prominent” but did not name, abused him twice. First, the ex boxer wrote, the coach accompanied Leonard, then aged 15, to a tournament in Utica, NY. The coach had Leonard and another young boxer take a bath together, while he watched them. Leonard termed that situation “inappropriate.” He told the Times that years later, the same man sat in a car with him and performed oral sodomy on the young fighter.


🤦🏿‍♂️
Dam that’s sad, it probably took a lot for him to come out and admit this.

Not a poster I always agree with but this is straight facts.

Why we in here mocking a legend for getting assaulted by a grown man… as a kid?

Nothing funny about that at all.

Going too far with this as opposed to beefing with his son or the shyt he was doing to Puff?

50 is clearly a sociopath and needs therapy. This much been clear his whole career.

50 hates Black people. I always said this and you got c00nS that believe that he is God.

Adults get manipulated or even brainwashed all the time. shyt that starts in childhood is that much more impactful and difficult to recognize and overcome. Age doesnt make you immune or magically aware.

To another man fondling you or sucking your dikk against your will it does. There ain’t that much manipulation and brainwashing in the world my friend.
