    What the f*ck has he achieved, which great fighters has he beaten, the competition was nothing special back then and he still lost pretty often and he was unable to KO his opponents in more than half of his matches. Don't call that an ATG, 'cus that's bull****, you know it, I know, and I think you just feel like needing to raise the status of one of the Jewish boxers because you feel sorry for the Jews. :hi:

    He was a good boxer, though, no doubt about that.

    You are so wrong on so many levels. Without ever having met me, you just made up a whole bunch of **** just to justify your stupidity, which is typical of the General. Have another Carlsberg and good night, nitwit.

    Very strange and uninteresting topic for ESB. This is like asking who the best Mormon Boxer was.

    Leonard should rate as a top pound for pound great. He cleaned out a division, taking on all comers regardless of color, or boxing style.


    Between World War 1, and World War 2 the Jews were active in boxing, and always had a champion in one of the eight original weight classes.


    Footnote, some say middle weight / light heavyweight Harry Greb ( widely considered a top 5 ATG regardless of weight ) was also Jewish. So says the Jews, Tunney, and some of his opponents.

    I'd somehow got the idea Greb was Jewish too, but can't point to a reference or anything. Hmm.
