Is Sugar Ray Leonard the G.O.A.T@ 147

best i have seen.

 

I got him at number 3, I got Robinson at one and Armstrong at two

 

There's no footage of Robinson at 147, just written accounts & his record.

There hasnt been a better WW since Leonard. He was special.

 

I would rank him no. 2 all time behind the welterweight version of SRR, who was never even really challenged, except by Middleweight LaMotta in one of their many fights, at 147.

For "who beats who," I rank Hearns three, although he is not the third most accomplished welterweight champ. I just think that Hearns at welter beats any other welter of all time not named Sugar Ray.

 

Although I have SRR at no. 1 and SRL at no. 2, your position is obviously a reasonable one as well. Both he and Hearns would wreak havoc on the WW's of today.

 

:think Not sure. I would have him top 3 I think but I can only say top 5 with certainty. I mean the more you read about and/or watch guys like Gavlian, Napoles, Ross etc. The more it gets you thinking.

 

:huh

Leonard is #2, or #3. The Duran loss hurts him a little bit because it was really during his prime. Armstrong arguably has a superior resume at 147 with a win over Ross and a ton of title defenses.

 

Why not bring it to General? Hopefully people read it and learn that little bit more. People who don't post on classic can also contribute.

 

Robinson
Gavilan
Leonard

 

since no clips on SRR, he is the best in my opinion

 

There's actually a decent amount of footage. Get with the times and stop perpetuating myths.

 

Credibility is going....going....gone.
