    I think a facet overlooked is beating ATG fighters. I think it is a must that a great fighter beat other greats. It is akin to an NBA player having many championships. It just proves they can perform against the best. Although I do think rings in the NBA are overrated, it does help.

    Good post.

    I think Ali gets even more underrated than Roy in terms of technical quality, though. Those that try to put him in the same category as Hamed should be banned for at least two months! A week for labeling him with Roy even.

    Here Leonard is da ****. Beating fighters of the quality and differing styles of Hearns, Hagler, Benitez and Kalule... That's not bad at all.

    I don´t think Kalule is an atg. You forgot Duran though. But even then Robinson, B. Leonard, Gans have covered that territory as well.

    No Kalule isn't an ATG, but a very good fighter. As for Duran, I think that was more about Duran losing than Leonard winning. I hate saying so, but the only thing that fight really proved was that Duran was capabable of the worst quitting imaginable.

    Yeah, Kalule was a good fighter. A bit overrated on here though.

    You have a point. Nevertheless this is a win for Ray and should be counted as such. And that says me, a guy wearing Duran T-shirts and stuff :D
