Duran, Arguello, Leonard, Whitaker, Jones, Pacquiao

:good those greats are in a different league

 

Dominated? watch the fight again. Won clearly, but not domination.

 

But can you truely put leonard in that class?

His first biggest win is against a quiting Duan.

Then one could say the ref stopped his fight with Hearns early (his greatest REAL victory).

after that, with the eye issue, he pretty much hand picked his opponents for the rest of his career.

Did he really beat Hagler?


Hearns murdered the top Welterweight at the time, Cuevas..
He murdered Duran.
He outboxed and pounded Benitez, beat a good light heavy in Virgil Hill, and most thought beat Leonard the 2nd time.

he at least should be mentioned with that group. is Leonard is worthy?

 

Pacquiao is now maybe in the Pryor class.:good

 

Yes but the guys he fought were peak also and ATGs as well. Who did Duran beat who was peak and all time great? He didn't Who did Jones? Hearns was the first man to win 5 titles and the first welterweight to win the 175 pound title. Cueves,Benitez,Duran,Hill.

 

I think Hearns is more worthy than Leonard. He fought them all like Pacman did and Leonard did more handpicking in his second career after Hagler. But both are great.

 

he's a 1st tier ATG, up there with Robinson, Ali, Duran, etc. etc.

 

he's closing in on duran and leonard...he just overtake jones and hopkins

 

**** off with that ****.

 

Exactly. :good
