Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas

I dislike Leonard immensely but he's the best welter I've seen in my lifetime. I like Pipino an awful lot but he was limited. Leonard stays away for the better part of 9 and stops Pipino in 10.

 

Kind of silly if you dislike him so much but you still rate him that highly. Isnt that a little hypocritical? Leonard proved his skills against diverse ATG talents, so i think anyone that doesnt like him must respect him anyway.

 

No, it's actually quite intelligent. *****'s / Pac****s should feel the same way.

 

Its maybe a little different with those two - since there's some legitimate reasons to not like either of those guys. SRL was alwayd very easy to like for me.

 

How is that hypocritical? :huh If one is an actual adult, able to separate emotion from quantifiable rating criteria, then it isn't terribly difficult to do.

 

I just find it hard to believe that someone doesnt like leonard and then goes on to say hes the best welter of his lifetime. If you rate a fighter that highly then i figure you have to like him a little bit

 

Surely that's the way it should be,not letting any emotion get in the way of judgement?

 

I just don't understand that way of thinking, but okay.......

For example, I despise Julio Cesar Chavez. Hate him. But if I'm being objective and really look at just what he brought into the ring, I have to admit he's Mexico's greatest fighter. Pains me to say it, but without the ability to separate emotion from ****ytical ability, we turn into nothing but fanboys. And that stuff belongs in the General Forum.

 

Chavez aint that. Olivares is better.

 

Well I certainly can't agree with that, but you get the point......

 

Senor Pepe was the only genius to ever visit this board.

 

Leonard by late rounds stoppage. Prime Cuevas had a good chin so it wouldn't be fast. Leonard would have to work for it. He's just to fast and smart for Cuevas.

 

A visionary.

 

He still frequents a few forums. I like some of his stuff, as long as you take it with a pinch salt. What the boxrec forum did to him was bang out of order, some of his stuff is legit.

 

It is more 2z detriment of other forums zan 2praise zis', bat esb iz ze best 1 i now.
