Leonard is indeed an excellent choice - so are Gans and Williams as well.
Ali had a lot more flaws than that. At any rate, he is offensively too limited to be on this list - just like Whitaker.
I am afraid that I'd have to disagree most strenuously here. Above all, it's descriptively inaccurate to say that Harada's best work was done...
At least on Duran and Leonard; I don't frequent here enough to know your views on other great boxers of past ;)
Yeah, I think no version of Duran would beat Hearns in actual life. He'd have greater chance in pound-per-pound scenarios, but even there I am not...
LMAO! ;) Incidentally, Jun was another guy who should've turned pro much earlier - much like Sung-Kil moon or Kwang-Sun Kim. Of course, he still...
An addendum to what Vanboxingfan wrote: I rank Duran higher than Leonard - in addition to his greater longevity - because I think Duran beats...
I tend to agree with literally everything you said. I mean literally. I will also add that Leonard should've given an immediate re-match to Duran...
Did Steward ever give it all for anyone other than Hearns? It always seemed like he took on a lot more top fighters than he could possibly...
A non-boxing note: Yes, it's true; Koreans only had black & white TV even as late as 1979 (and later). In fact, I watched this very telecast in...
I just saw the video, and it was very good. I agree with most of what Rumsfeld says. Incidentally, the quality of the posters on this forum - or...
So our respective positions are ultimately not that far apart? ;) I just have too many questions and what ifs regarding Walcott to say anything...
I actually thought Padilla not breaking clinches Helped Leonard, as he was bigger and could lean on Duran and sap his strength. True, Duran did...
Ah, got it! Also, not directed to you, Seamus, but in general: A win is the more "impressive" the better the opponent. That's what I was driving...
Excellent choice. But I'd take Sanchez - though it's close.
