    You sort of answered your own question with your poll.

    On the face of it,Michael wins this hands down. Better all round than his brother. Leon has one slim chance,though. If he can avoid his younger sibling's much vaunted 'Spinks Jinx' in the early seesions,he could outwork Michael.

    Michael was always better, but Leon peaked first and then wore out. Leon's claim to fame was Ali. Later he lost pretty badly to Holmes.
