    David (Sugar) Love
    Sugar Ray Hammond

    Both journeymen, but Love did break into the world ratings for awhile and was somewhat the plague of Philly for awhile too, holding a bit of a hex over the city's fighters.

    That just reminded me of a Caribbean fighter during the 60s named Sugar Boy Nando

    "Sugar" Valuev is my all-time favorite. I laugh every time I see it. I wish he'd picked that name.

    Just like I wish "Buster" had changed his name to "Tokyo" Douglas. (LOL)

    Maybe there's still time for Tyson Fury to change his name to "50 percent" Fury?

    How could I forget Union “Sugar” Cane. Didn’t Balboa duck him?

    Another one of the 1980s “Lost Generation” paper champion heavyweights.

    Tokyo Douglas and Montreal Duran are two of the greatest of all time.

    "Sugar plum fairy. Sugar plum fairy. I read the news today, oh boy." I wonder if that's the same Sugar Plum Fairy who went to the Apollo. You should have seen him go go go.

    Oh, sorry. This is a boxing thread. :)

    Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, Lactose, Galactose, and Ribose

    But there's tons of others
