    calling ray Leonard prime at the time of the Norris match is like saying that Pippa Middleton was still a virgin at 16.. Just isn't the case.

    Not sure I agree. Trolls don't keep it up for 10 years like this. Most of them get bored and walk away, change user names, or start up a new line of garbage after a fashion. I think he truly BELIEVES what he's saying. I think there's a mental illness about...

    you are only regarding age. Does Floyd have the same excuse to fall back on, yet still succeeds!

    now let's get back to the main question. Keep your eye on the ball, okay?

    why should I think any different about your so called PRIME Leonard that took 11 rounds for Bonds, & 9 for Howard, and resembled an unskilled stalker in the Hearns fight throwing one shot at a time, who brought upon himself several unflattering comments from Clancy regarding his lack of ability & willingness to cut down Hearns, on top of the famous comments by his own trainer Dundee "you're blowing it kid"

    why shouldI be convinced the fight would be any different when it's clear that facing a fast mobile opponent is obviously not going to end up favoring him?

    He's the worst fighter at "taking it to an opponent" since Stevie Cruz

    I'm sorry but Terry Norris was all wrong for Ray Leonard. so was Micheal Nunn which is probably why he wasnt allowed to fight him

    PS your ass stinks and is filled with chunks of **** if you want to get personal

    bottom line: Leonard couldnt handle speed - ever

    and proved it when he was favored 3-1 over Norris

    yet couldnt win a round

    He did REALLY well with Duran tho (if that's any consolation)

    Name one fighter on Floyd's resume Leonard wouldn't destroy.

    He didnt exactly destroy Larry Bonds. why'd it take 11 for a guy who couldnt do anything but run?

    and why nine against such a small fighter like K Howard?

    Floyd was the much better fighter, went 50-0 and made 100 mil per fight

    every fight was a major event

    in fact Floyd made more in one fight than Sugar did his whole career

    and didnt have to hand pick opponents the way Ray needed to

    one guy he even put on a do not call list for five years

    due to his, how shall we say, limitations

    well I'm sorry but the two remaining hom-os have had their time and couldnt produce

    when asked to prove their point they gave the silent treatment meaning "I don't know why prime leonard looked like s-h-i-t vs Bonds but Terry didnt beat a prime leonard"

    and out of sheer frustration over their inability to prove their man, resort to the usual "he's been trolling for 10 years"

    doesnt ESB have some real men who can step up instead of these two fairies/hom-os?

    Do respective earnings really matter, with regard to each Boxer's rating?

    Did not both Mayweather Jr. and Leonard put potential adversaries on a "do not call list"?

    I think many might suggest Mayweather Jr. did hand pick opponents given that, beyond lightweight, it seems he avoided any top-flight challenger at their peak.

    The bigger question perhaps is how would Floyd have dealt with Hearns that night in '81 (or any time up until late '84)?

    but that's not my question. my question is, where was the awesome leonard, this imaginary, awesome machine of destruction I keep reading about that went up against Howard, & Bonds?

    Neither could hit hard. neither was fast. or strong. neither was considered difficult or smart. neither had special skills

    why then should I believe Ray (PRIME Ray mind you) do any better than he did against in his actual meeting with Norris, being such a poor pressure fighter?

    if any of you had an answer, we'd have seen it by now

    Hearns was only ONE opponent. Floyd has dealt with 50 opponents and never lost. on top of that, he was still fighting with 100% success at the age of 37, possibly older

    IMO, Floyd was a much more successful fighter than Ray both fistically and fiscally
