Alan Minter 1980 v Sugar Ray Leonard 1987

Minter may find himself out pointed here, but a close one.

 

1987 Wasn’t the ideal version of Leonard but I’m giving him the nod

 

I never liked Leonard at 160 pounds, Minter is a VERY live underdog and if the odds looked good I'd bet on Alan.

 

Neither Sibson or Longer are close to the class of a Leonard.
The 1987 version of Hagler beats both of them and rather easily.
Sibbo got dropped and stopped by DON LEE so give me a break.
Minter and Sibson were nothing more then soild pros.
And I would argue had they fought in the era of Eubank/Benn they would have come up short as well.

 

Before getting stopped by Tony Sibson in an upset (it was to me) Minter had always displayed a solid chin.
In his brief fight with MMH the Marvellous one admitted Minter could bang too.
Leonard wouldn't stop Minter unless he cut him which you couldn't count out.
Minter could also box when he felt like it.
I'd still favour Leonard over the distance though

 

I miss duranimal, he was awesome.

 

Minter's tissue paper skin let's him down. Leonard by mid rounds tko.
