    Nah, Sugarmans resume trumps chinny terries all day long.
    Just look at the top 3 and embrace true greatness.

    Hagler
    Hearns
    Duran

    When you add the millions in the bank, global fanbase and all his faculties intact i am quite sure Srl can sit back and relax, regardless of a couple of losses at the end of his career.

    End of the day, no amount of whining from either side is gonna change the results and history will forever read thus.

    Norris w12 Leonard

    Leonard w12 Hagler

    I know which win i would rather have on my c.v.:hey

    Good call, and to me what's just as important is when he defeated them. All were prime with the exception of Hagler. But, Hagler was active and a natural bigger man. Leonard was coming off 1 of his many long lay offs.

    quote=redrooster;18138631]Norris

    SRL
    Curry
    Brown
    Taylor
    Mugabi

    Of those wins, the only ones who put up a decent fight were Curry & Taylor[/quote]
    :D:D

    I think the OP was thinking wins in context i.e. when the fights happened, not just names.

    Good try, though.

    yea, too bad about that 120-106 loss to Terry. lennard's fans are still seething over that

    But I look at it this way; since leonard beat Hagler and Norris beat Leonard, that makes Terry's win all the more meaningful because of Leonard's added value from the Hagler win

    In other words, Terry's win over leonard wouldnt have been as impressive unless Leonard had first beaten Hagler

    as I predicted beforehand, Terry would win because of the Redrooster rule which reads: The slower the opponent, the better Rey's performance while the faster the opponent, the worse his performance will be

    Ray had never faced anyone with Terry's speed nor of Camacho's speed which is why he lost to both

    PS: Mayweather made more in one fight with Pac than lennard made in his entire career, didnt lose in his 30s the way lennard had, and never lost a fight - an amazing 49-0

    Lennard couldnt carry Floyd's jockstrap (or terry's for that matter)
