Named after legendary singer Ray Charles, Leonard claimed three National Golden Glove titles and two AAU Championships as an amateur in the 1970s before winning gold in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal after an unanimous decision over highly-rated Cuban Andres Aldama. He turned professional later the same year and three years later he was the WBC World Welterweight Champion after stopping Wilfred Benitez with a technical knockout in the 15th round. It was, however, his fights with Duran, Hearns and Hagler that made his career. He lost his title to Duran in 1980 in a bruising clash in Montreal but he exacted his revenge in New Orleans later the same year to reclaim his crown. In 1981 he met Hearns in Las Vegas in a fight dubbed The Showdown and despite a badly cut eye, Leonard emerged victorious when the referee stopped the bout in the 14th round. He announced his retirement in 1982 but pulled on the gloves once more five years later to face Hagler in Vegas, winning the fight on a split decision from the judges. Leonard was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997.
