Leonard wasn't great in his first fight with Duran? Point blank: that was the greatest effort Sugar Ray Leonard ever put forth in his career.
Ray`s guard was far more active in the rematch, Duran had Ray flinching from every feint in Montreal.
And true. Imagine Duran beat Leonard three out of four, stopping him or making him quit in every win. And Leonard being rated best welter of all time. SMFH.
I saw Pep do things no one else could, not even Benny Leonard, as a young golden glover I tried hours to copy his moves but never really came close. Still I have to put Roberto a little above him, he could box and feint with anyone at his best and his power at lightweight was frightful. At both featherweight and lightweight they likely were all time number 1's but matched on this list I have to go with fists of stone.
Just wondering.... How much credit does everyone give to Saddler for beating Pep? Sandy could be as dirty as Fritzie Zivic.
