Sugar Ray is Sugar Free: Boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard is now in Diet Coke’s corner. Leonard will ask the public to call him “Sugar Free” Leonard in a new Diet Coke commercial that is scheduled to premiere during Sunday’s Super Bowl game. In the commercial--which positions Diet Coke against regular Pepsi--Leonard takes some verbal punches at Pepsi. “I don’t mean to be taking any jabs, but you’re too heavy for me,” he says of Pepsi. “Besides, I have a new title now. Just call me ‘Sugar Free.’ Goodby Pepsi, I say you’re out cold.”
