Was SRL ...

I´m ignorant? But why? Griffith was great, I have friends who rate him as their 1st WW ever. He was surely great, no doubt, not only at 147 lbs. I meant with inconsistent, that he lost also during his prime sometimes (Rodriguez, Moyer, Kid Paret), Napoles or SRL for example were always great, they never struggled with kind of fighters like Emile sometimes did (although he was clearly better)...

 

Yeah, that´s exactly how I meant it! :good

 

That sounds like something My Dinner With Conteh would say.

 

You obviously have not seen the fight or you are blind. He was not out on his feet. He was punching back. Everybody who watches the fight can see that.

You are not a serious poster, dude. No way. You are actually tyring to pull off a con job here where something that is obvious to anybody with seeing eyes is not what it is. Your posts are ridiculous.

Or are you so deep into Leonard worship that you actually see things that aren't there?

 

And you disagree with the stoppage because you don't like Leonard. Same thing. Funny how only the people who don't like Leonard ever form their OWN opinions, isn't it?

 

yeah but napoles lost to backus and stracey?

 

Actually it's not funny at all but very telling how people who criticize Leonard form their own opinions but people who don't just repeat the conventional wisdom on Leonard. Besides, I don't think I ever said I don't like Leonard. I said I think he's overrated. Those are two different things. But that's beside the point, because any remotely objective observer can plainly see that Hearns wasn't out of it, or even hurt, for that matter (he was tired), and was punching back. Anybody who is trying to be objective can also see that the referee didn't know what he was doing. The 13th round was a disaster in terms of proper officiating.

You guys (or just guy, I suspect) have turned this into a weird debate because you are taking what is plain fact and pretending like it looks like something else. Obviously you are biased because you see something that is not actually there. It's like trying to talk to a person who claims to have been abducted by aliens or who is hallucinating. Very odd.

 

Hes at the very top of my list.

 

If SRL was efficient at boxing as you are with anewing and changing id's Robinson would be two levels below at #2.

 

He's great isn't he.

 

I don't give a toss about Leonard, I find him an arrogant, boring, smug, overbearing ****. However, you don't like him so that's enough for me to adopt him.

 

Na, personally I think Napoles & Robinson were more complete than him.

 

I ****ing hate his guts,but Leonard's the best welter I've seen in my lifetime.As far as his being better than Robinson at welter?Let's just say if I were to make a wager,I'd bet on Robinson.

 

I'm not the biggest SRL fan, but he sure was the stuff for real...but I'll always think that Mantequilla Naploes was the best...but I AM a huge Napoles fan so I may be a bit prejudiced. Then there's also SRR to bring onto the equation.
