Sugar Ray
Candy-named boxer
Sugar Ray is a stage name shared by two celebrated American boxers: Sugar Ray Robinson (1921–1989), often considered the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in history, and Sugar Ray Leonard (born 1956), an Olympic gold medalist and five-division world champion.
The name evokes boxing excellence and showmanship.
Sugar Ray is also an American rock band formed in the 1990s, known for lighter pop-rock hits like "Fly" and "Every Morning."
