147 lb Tourney Final - SUGAR v SUGAR

Thanks mate, and i agree with SRR carrying his power much better, grew into a massive hitting 160 actually.

 

One man stands a chance at beating sugar ray robinson - the 1980 montreal roberto duran who beat the other ray that wood rock! Or at a catch weight 140lbs duran a 135lb monster vs ray rob when ray was coming up to 147. If that duran don't win just 4get it Pal! MAD - MIKE -

 

So what's the semi line up at 160? Robinson, Hopkins, Monzon and maybe Hagler?

 

Leonard for all intensive purposes isnt much faster than Robinson. Watch the actual power punches he throws against Hearns and then watch the ones Robinson throws against Lamotta. If u take in count the weight difference I really can't see much of a handspeed difference at all. I feel Robinson is too much offensively for Leonard and unlike most I think he wins a fairly lopsided decision. I actually see Duran Robinson being a more interesting matchup based on styles althought i still rate Leonard much higher as a welterweight but I just feel that Robinson is just a slightly better version of Leonard in most areas.

 

****in crazy!

 

McGrain you were right to hold your ground. Let's not forget the problems leonard had with Thomas hearns. Didn't look so formidable in that one, behind to a guy with 3 measely defenses employing a simple stick and move strategy.

Let's not forget the Kevin Howard fight that made leonard lose his appetite for fist for entire three years. And he totally didn't know what he was doing in the Norris fight. What do you think Robinson would do to leonard? He crush his spirit then he'd crush leonard.

 

I'll post a little dream fight article if i get the inspiration or interest.

So who think's it's not beyond the realm that Leonard is actually a little stronger than SRR?

 

Somebody please respond to this and hurry

 

One stole the name, the other invented it, any questions? :smoke
