    Both. Gans and Leonard look great on film. Against great opposition(minus the McGovern dive obviously).

    Some more of mine:

    Foreman-Ali is a snoozefest

    Ray Leonard and Hearns could lose to Pryor at a catchweight, especially WW era Hearns

    Duran is the 3rd best LW ever

    The Armstrong that beat Ross would give SRR a rough night

    Ellis and Cleveland Williams are overrated straps, though better than the Lyles and Shavers out there

    I'd favor MW Steele, Conn, Charles, Burley, Monzon, and Ketchel over Hagler at a 15R distance.

    After reading a couple of your posts on this thread, it's quite clear that you despise Ali with a passion.

    Some of the things you said are downright ****ing ******ed. You're delusional and don't have a clue.

    Are those posts a joke? Muhammad Ali doesn't make top 100 P4P? Come the **** on.

    You should n't let your personal feelings for a fighter influence your view of him as a boxer. Quite often I've found Mike Tyson,for example,to be a right wanker over the years,but it still does n't stop me from rating him in my all time top 10 of heavyweights.
    To say that Ali's not in a top 100 pound for pound list is ridiculous.

    Although I am a bigger fan of Morales than Barrera, I had MAB winning all 3 fights on my scorecards!

    Anyone COULD lose to anyone on any given night but assuming the catchweight didnt badly weaken Leonard or Hearns, would you EXPECT them to lose to Pryor ?

    I sure as hell would not, personally.

    If you had Barrera winning that 2nd fight you need your eyes checked, for real.

    I actually agree with every one of these statements except for the Morales beating Barrera statement,, you are blinded by you man love for El Terrible.:lol: Barrera won 1st fight by 2 points, Won 3rd close but convincing... I do agree Morales won the 2nd fight by 2 points.

    Chavez had loaded gloves against Taylor.

    Trinidad would have gotten beaten in a rematch with Vargas.

    Hopkins gets smashed by Duran at MW.

    DLH scores an easy K.O over Napoles. He gets cut way too easily.
