{{main|Terry Norris vs. Sugar Ray Leonard}}
On February 9, 1991, Leonard went down to 154&nbsp;lbs and fought WBC Light Middleweight Champion [[Terry Norris (boxer)|Terry Norris]] at [[Madison Square Garden]]. Leonard entered the bout as a 3-1 favorite, but Norris dominated the fight, giving Leonard a heavy beating. He knocked Leonard down with a left hook in the second round, and in the seventh, he dropped Leonard again with a short right. Leonard had no answer for the skillful, younger, faster man. Leonard went the distance but lost by a lopsided decision. The scores were 120–104, 119–103, and 116–110. After the verdict was announced, Leonard announced his retirement. "It took this fight to show me it is no longer my time", Leonard said. "Tonight, was my last fight. I know how Hagler felt now."<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Pat |last=Putnam |url=https://vault.si.com/.amp/vault/1991/02/18/so-long-sugar-after-taking-a-beating-from-terry-norris-11-years-his-junior-ray-leonard-says-he-is-retiring-for-good |title=So Long, Sugar |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=February 18, 1991 |access-date=December 7, 2021}}</ref>
