    :nonoThats Crazy maybe his arms and Chest got bigger but we aint talking body building here guy. Leonard didnt take his power up with him he could PUNCH at welter,but at Middle and Super middle he was a only a decent puncher. He was also physically strong at welter.

    No way Pac lasts the distance with Leonard.....

    SRL TKO14 Hearns, TKO15 Benitez & TKO8 Duran tells you that.

    Amen to that brother. And Ray (who was great, but Duran was greater) waited for Duran to get out of shape, w/ no time to fet in shape to fight him again. Look at Duran's body in 1 and then 2. it doesn't even compare. The fact is that the hunger was finally satisfied after the first fight and we never saw the animal-like Duran again. Oh yeah, Sugar Ray over Pac in 6.:hat

    I'd take a prime Duran anyday, as i did when they were in their prime on June 20, 1980. The first matchup into the unknown is always the most important to me. :hat

    This thread is one of those ESB bermuda triangles - can anyone work out why this subject has mysteriously stretched to 14 pages?! One single post comprising of a mere four words should have been enough:

    Leonard. Easily. End thread.

    I bought a boxing video a few yrs back called `Boxing Top 10`
    It was sponsered by `The Sun` (a popular newspaper in the UK)

    It gave you their top 10, fights, KO`s, comebacks etc. but it finished with their top 10 fighters list, prepare to be mesmerised......

    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Sugar Ray Robinson
    3. Henry Armstrong
    4. Joe Louis

    Ye see ?... not ALL lists have Duran over Leonard ;)

    Ps. for the record, I have Duran just ONE place above Ray on my list, Ray would likely be higher if he fought during his retirements, huge black mark for a fighter of that calibre in my eyes.

    :good

    Colin Hart wrote for The Sun if I'm not mistaken, and he was a Ray Leonard nut-hugger.

    Pacman has been sensational against the trio of a used up ODH, Hatton, a starting to become shop-worn Cotto. Leonard at WW outdueled a prime Benitez, stood his ground against Duranimal, beat him, then the epic victory over Hearns. Even though I never cared for the showboating, etc. Leonard in his prime would beat Pacman but it would be a fight for the ages and he would be forced to dig down deep which Leonard did on a regular basis anyway.I'm saying the fight is a 15-rounder because that was what the prime SRL fought in.

    SRL TKO 13 Manny Pac

    leonard beats paquioa at 147 , he was a ww, paquioa`s great little guy,but he hasn`t beaten enough weterweights to prove he`d beat a (good-great) bigger guy , pp
