Leonard dominates everything from 140 through 160 lbs, period. Not even a very big fan of his (Hearns far better in my opinion), but Leonard was the absolute total package. There really aren't a lot of those types in boxing throughout history, there is "NO ONE" that is today.
Right.. Everyone in boxing now either sucks bad or he was just that amazing, that he'll knock everyone from every Era after his out from 147-168.. Jordan would score 50 points a game, Walter Payton would average 50 yards a carry, and 2pac would out sell every rapper every album if he was still alive.. The future and present humans have no chance on becoming the best at anything that's been around long enough...
:deal He was invinthib'b'b'ble In all seriousity, Mayweather ducks him and Leonard beats anyone up to 160 except Golovkin, who stops him late
Beats everybody, Pacquiao and Mayweather included, he'd TKO Alvarez, Mayweather could have got him out of there to be honest, he was straight up getting massacred. Golovkin is a tricky one, as the jury's still out on him.
I'm waiting for a dimwitted new-age fan to say something utterly ridiculous, like Kell Brook beats him.
Jordan would be the best or only second best to Kobe Bryant or Lebron James. 2Pac would probably be the best rapper of this era with his only competition being JayZ and Kanye West.
This might be true.. I'm saying that the way people overrate old school athletes is unfair to the great talents of today.. Jordan was great for his time and would still be great today.. The thing is, he wouldn't be as far ahead as people believe.. There still would be arguments about how much better he is compared to his peers if he played today and would get eclipsed by a past great.. 2Pac on the other hand would have probably fizzled out eventually.. Most of his best songs were lesson teaching or poetry.. He wouldn't have made it through the snap dancing and twerk eras of rap in my opinion.. People make it seem guys like SRL is just monumentally that much better than everyone after him and athletes are getting worse and worse every era.. Who knows what he'll do today.. Maybe he does knock everyone out in one afternoon.. Who knows...
Yeah, and would not get the same big fights/respect due to being avoided. Now Hagler vs GGG........Sorry but Hagler KO's him!
I would comfortably favor him against anyone currently active in any of those 3 weight classes. I'm hard pressed to see how any unbiased observer can see it any differently. :smoke
