No, Sugar Ray Leonard never fought Muhammad Ali. Their careers did not overlap in a way that would have allowed for a matchup; Leonard rose to prominence in the late 1970s, while Ali's prime years were in the 1960s and 1970s. By the time Leonard became a major star, Ali had already retired from boxing.
