Arguably the largest photo library in the Anderson Archive, James’ collection of Ray offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of the greatest to ever step in the ring. Beginning in 1981, this visual journey captures Leonard’s evolution from humble beginnings to becoming one of the ‘Four Kings’ of the welterweight division. Through the highs and lows, from his unfortunate retirement in 1982 to jet-setting trips to Europe, James was there every step of the way, documenting ray's rise and resilience as he solidified his place in boxing history. Spanning from 1981 to 1989, James not only captured the public moments but also the quiet preparation and intense focus that drove greatness. The Anderson Archive tells the story seen through the eyes of the man who was by his side, capturing the moments that defined an era of boxing history.
