I think you may be confusing "pound per pound" and "well-rounded/complete." A fighter can be an all-time "pound per pound" guy even if he is one...
Perhaps. But I tend to think that the guys Hearns beat at 160 were better than the guys Hopkins beat at 160. And quality of opposition means more...
I think your last sentence is a key point that a lot of Leonard supporters seem to ignore. From the way some posters here write, you'd think...
