    I was gonna go for greatest (how original) but unparalleled came to my mind, its the perfect way to describe the original Sugar Ray IMO.

    That word would apply to fighters like Whitaker or Johnny Tapia.

    Simply awesome finisher, absolutely.

    Leonard was a willful young man. Taking all Duran had to offer in the brawl in Montreal, coming back behind on the cards to stop previously unbeaten Thomas Hearns, and battling his detatched retina to fight Hagler in one of the greatest comebacks in Boxing history. He certainly was willful.

    Leonard? Machiavellian.

    Robinson? Imperial or imperious.

    Wow, so much hate directed towards Leonard. I can't say I'm surprised, if it was Duran we were talking about, you'd all be ejaculating. :good

    Duran was the greater fighter, Addie.

    Words to describe him?

    On Sunday: ferocious
    On Monday: stupid
    On Tuesday: Legend
    On Wednesday: uneven

    Capice?
