An ode to Sugar Ray Leonard with AI Art

@Sugar Ray Leonard

An AI generated scene with Sugar Ray Leonard at the moment between rounds, sitting in his corner of a ring set in the middle of the National Portrait Gallery. Time has stopped—water droplets hang suspended around him, sweat glistens without falling. His gloves emit a subtle glow that illuminates the determined focus in his eyes. The words "Rock 'n Roll CEO" can be seen on the ropes of the ring. Outside the ropes, Angelo Dundee is frozen mid-instruction while across the ring, Marvin Hagler sits perfectly still, his intense gaze locked on Leonard. Museum visitors circle the scene like spectators from different eras, some dressed in 1980s fashion, others in contemporary clothes, all rapt with attention.
