    I pick hearns just he was cold...Great combination fighter...One of the sharpest and fasest right hands ever..I think Tommy was the total package and when were kids up until now his fights are very entertaining...

    I believe he is an arrogant punk and I just don't like him! His skill is top notch and he likely rates the 2 nd highestbehind duran of the 6 I listed as much as it pains me.

    I agree with --

    1. Duran
    2. Hearns/Hagler
    3. Leonard

    I like the way you made Hearns/Hagler interchangeable, as I like them both about the same.

    One thing that really annoys me about Leonard. The two titles from two different weights in one fight against Lalonde. Thats what you call cheating. You need to have to separate fights to achieve such a feat. Many other fighters work their ass off in two separate fights to win titles in two different weight divisions.

    Anyone who supports and justifies Leonard as a legitimate 5 weight world champion needs to have a look in the mirror.

    I actually rate Mayweather as a legit 5 weight world champion with alphabet belts. Leonard, I don't.
