ATG: Who Ranks Higher? Manny Pacquiao or Sugar Ray Leonard?

kill yourself

 

atsch:-(

 

I'm sure this is your reactionb when people ask it of Floyd and SRL right?

 

**** off. SRL is light years better than PBF as well.:deal But in typical fashion instead of you attacking people who voted for Pac you attack PBF fans for stating the truth.

 

Just for the sake of argument - what WW could Pacquiao fight that would be considered at the top of his game? Here is what you would say after the following fights:

Oscar - 80 years old, shot, destroyed by Mayweather
Mayweather - has slowed down, no footwork
Mosley - 80 years old, shot, destroyed by Cotto
Cotto - Destroyed by Margarito
Margarito - Destroyed by Mosley
Clottey - Overrated bum
Berto - Too green
Bradley - Too small

 

Leonard is slightly overrated for me, felt he was lucky to get the decisions over Hearns the second time round and Hagler. Yet he was fighting in the time of true legends, the win over Hearns is far greater than anything Pac can accomplish. His wins over Benitez and Hearns are knockouts of prime ATG's at a weight where they were comfortable (although Hearns was better at 154 I would say) However I don't think that this is a stupid question at this stage of Pac's career.

 

70 idiots so far and counting..

 

Uh as of late they turned out to be ..Tell me they are not these days??

 

Right now? Ray Leonard easily.

 

Leonard by far! You must not know jack **** about boxing if you're gonna ask this question.

 

Leonard > Pac

 

As devastating a puncher Hearns was, I do not think he KOs Margarito. Hearns did not have the stamina to sustain his attacks ala Mosley and I think Margarito can take Hearn's early punches.

Heck I may even dare to say if Hearns decide to go all out and try to KO Margarito early, he might just find himself in deep waters in the later rounds.

 

You are not old enough to know!! I've seen & follow these legends in the 80s & 90s!!

Pac's has accomplished more now than SRL!!

The 1st storm!
Barrera, Morales & JMM!!

The 2nd storm:
DLH, Hatton, Cotto & Cheato


SRL only has one storm!! Duran, Hearns & Hagler!!
Hagler & Hearns 2 were disputed!! He even admit he lost the 2nd fight to hearns.

Only SRR & ARmstrong were on the discussion for Pac's ATG status!!

 

If Sugar Shane ko'd Margarito, Hearns wouldn't have a problem ko'ing Margarito. Margarito is waaaaay too easy to hit.

 

The difference is Leonard was great from the start, while Pac was great only relatively late in his career.

Leonard was an accomplished amateur and commanded unheard of purses right from the start of his pro career.

Pac was dirt poor and had no amateur career to speak of.

Would Pac have defeated Benitez and Hearns in their primes ? I actually think he could have.

When Leonard faced Duran the first time he lost. But i believe that Duran would have beaten any welter in history that night, Pac included.

The Leonard victories over Duran and Hagler are tainted because they were diminished when they faced him (Duran was out of shape but enticed to fight; Hagler had slowed down, and even then arguably won) and that's precisely why he made those bouts.

So i think what Leonard has over Pac is his first Hearns victory; if Pac beats Mayweather he would rank as high or maybe higher than Leoard.

He has been consistent over decades, something Leonard hasn't.
