How would you rate his five performances against Howard,Hagler,Lalonde,Hearns 2 & Duran on a scale of 1-10? How big of a bump in the P4P rankings did Leonard get by returning for the five fights?
Howard a 7 or 8 given his inactivity. Hagler a 10. He worked himself up and studied Hagler and was lucky he got an inactive Hagler who was not sharp at all and getting old. Lalonde? probably a 7. He beat a mediocre guy at a weight which was not Lalondes championship weight and still won that title and the 175 pound title. With Hearns I give Ray a 6. He still laster 12 with a motivated Hearns and gave him a good fight. Duran? 7. Ray looked good but after the first Duran fight Ray knew how to fight Duran and he could practically beat him in his sleep. That is why Ray picked Duran. He also picked Hearns for the same reason and also he thought Tommy was washed up, but Tommy was not.
