Is Ray Leonard top 10 p4p in the last 100 years?

I can't come to think of any orher great fighter who chiefly is so associated with his worst moment.

 

He doesn't, first off, and Floyd absolutely dwarfs Leonard on title defenses, hofers beaten, actually winning his fights, etc.

Reducing a resume to best five wins is fanboy stuff.

 

Says reducing resume to 5 wins is fanboy stuff.

Proceeds to reduce it to 3 statistics.

Your feelings.

 

You seem unfamiliar with what "etc." means. A resume is not five fights. Two fanboys liked your post because the truth hurt their feelings.

 

Fighters are less active these days so they won't generally have the resume depth of past greats.

 

In 2002 Ring did a top 80 from the previous 80 years which is say, 1922-2002. I am always interested in such lists.

1. SRR
2. Armstrong
3. Ali
4. Louis
5. Duran
6. Pep
7. Greb
8. B.Leonard
9. Sugar Ray Leonard
10. Whitaker

 

I think via plain Jane resume there's a very big gap between Whitaker and Bob.

 

Not a bad one. But Charles should be there, close to the top.

 

None of them are close to SRL in ability.

Most of them overrated for their own divisions because of black white TV romance

 

Henry Armstrong overrated? Are you serious?

 

Would be cool to see a updated list from the Ring.

 

Yep, the Religious Cult here without any independent thinking overrates Armstrong massively. A pressure merchant, who went life and death with some average boxers in his prime.

Great little fighter for his time no doubt. But GTFO telling me he had top 10 of all time ability when he just got on his mans chest with his midget arms and wailed away. Amazing stamina, amazing grit, top 10 ability of all time? Not on your grandma

 

Oh Dear
