Are these the top 5 fighters since Ray Leonard ?

mayweather making it before Hagler or Hearns?.I don't agree with that at all.

 

P4p

jones
whitaker
tyson
mayweather
bhops

 

When does the Leonard era stop for you?.Are we basically just excluding the eighties here?.that would make sense, though not sure i would have Chavez so high anymore if so.

 

You mean since Hagler retired

Roy Jones
Julian Jackson
Norris
Camacho
Pernell

 

Chavez is a good fighter but too many fill ins on his reocrd. I go for quality over quantity but dont approve when there is too little quantity as in the case of Sugar Ray Leonard

The butt in the second Randall fight was unfortunate. i was anxious to see whether Julio could pull it out on his own.

Hopkins might make a top eight if not for the loss to Jones

Pac another good fighter,, fast hands. But I'll wait until he retires before making judgement

 

Chavez overrated?

Chavez beat the **** out of Taylor and stopped him. He ruined Taylor he beat him so badly. Chavez lost a close fight to an all-time great Whitaker (they called it a draw, but he really lost) and he lost to a peaking and very talented Franklie Randall. But these fights were late in Chavez's
career. He was bound slow down sometime. All fighters do.

Hopkins is a great fighter, too.

 

If this is true it is for no good reason. Hagler's accomplishments are much more impressive and Hagler was actually a dominant champion, whereas Leonard wasn't. Hagler beat Leonard. Hearns outboxed Leonard cleaning before tiring and he whipped Leonard in the rematch, but was robbed (like Hagler).

 

It's the SPEED that makes 4 of the top five. Of course Jackson is there because of his win over TNT Norris

Norris of course defeated Sugar Ray Leonard in a landlisde and none but he could have even attempted it. To outspeed, to take away his heart early in the fight are proofs of his superiority. And it is because he was superior that TNT Norris is in the Hall of fame

While Camacho went unbeaten for the ENTIRE decade, winning three championships in that time.

There men were superior fighters and it is because they are superior that they like Norris are in my top five

Whitaker, another stellar southpaw second only to Camacho in skill and speed

More...more.
