I doubt it; Leonard fantastic welter, but his credentials at middleweight are not even close to Monzon's. Too big, too strong. Leonard is very...
Of course, it's well documented that whenever Duran lost, he was either, young, green, old, unmotivated, didn't want to win, or had to lose 300lbs...
Thanks. A bit more information. Here are a few lists of how historians/notable boxing experts rank heavyweights throughout the years....
Both have a point, but i think the most important notion is that Jeffries HAD BEEN beating the likes of Fitzsimmons, whereas Johnson IS beating...

I think it was a re-action to the fact that so many people say he would lose to x and y, without actually having seen those. He was only stating...
I picked Frazier as i think he's awesome, but basically it's a 50/50 fight. One thing to note, though. During ALL of Ali's fights in the 60's...
