Original Toronto Star caption: What a team, Former world champ Sugar Ray Leonard, left, plans to be a corner man for Shawn O'Sullivan, when the unbeaten welterweight boxes in a 10-rounder at the Harbor Castle Hilton on Feb. 10. I see something in Shawn I see in myself, said Leonard. Here's a young man with a great personality. I feel so at ease with him. There is a special bond between Shawn and myself.
