I'm probably in the minority who would pick Leonard to win. Just my opinion, but Ray Leonard at his absolute best was incredible. Ridiculous hand and foot speed, good power, solid defensive boxing skills when he used them. IMO he matched Robinsons ability to take a shot. In reality its sort of a pick em fight. I can't see that either guyhas a huge advantage over the other. I'd take Leonard in a close decision, he doesn't KO Robinson but maybe outworks and outboxes him.
People are going to choose Ray Robinson more because of bias and favoritism to fit in. See most of this mofos haven't even seen Robinson fight except for youtube videos and old tapes. They haven't actually seen Robinson fight while they are growing up unless they are part of the SRR and The Beatles era which will make them 50+ and 60+ years old. Just because Bert Sugar says SRR is number one, most bias fans will also agree.
I hardly think that it matters. If you say that one must be alive to see someone fight, then we shouldn't be talking about or giving props to ANY fighter who we havent personally seen live. BS. Lots of people shouldn't be giving credit to joe louis, ai, marciano, archie moore. Havent seen them live but does that make them less great?
I've never seen any of the current top10 p4p live...just on tape and on youtube. Guess they must be **** then.
exactly what i was on about before with the rosetinted spectacles.he was awesome but its not beyond the realms that he can be beat especially where leonard is concerned
who ever made it look easy to beat leonard at ww,he lost once by a close decision and won the rematch emphatically
Dude SRR is not losing a fantasy match-up against anybody. Not only that he'll beat the **** out of other ATG's like Leonard "easily". atsch
