Atlas said, Why I put Sugar Ray Leonard in the mix of all-time greats was that he stepped up in weight class. He took risks and beat guys like Marvin Hagler. He took risks and performed. Thats why his legacy endures. If Floyd cares about such things, hell fight Golovkin, but I dont think he cares. from boxing insider
his example is a bit silly, most people gave SRL alot of **** for waiting for hagler to show signs of slowing down ?
We already knew this his fans have to create his legacy talking about how's he's undefeated ,beat all these so called champions notice not one of these insiders talks Mayweather up like his fans do ..They know the truth they see the talent but dont see the challenges ..I mean how else can you explain them defending fights like Gatti,or Gurrero or even this ..
SRL fought Hagler years after people wanted it. Also SRL started of at WW so he had to jump 2 weiggt classes to face Hagler. Floyd has already jumped 5
That's always been my knock on him a Foreman had said it best when he fought Ortiz " Floyd should be embarrassed fighting guys like these " bitnhe could cares less what the fans really thought he has enough **** riders and yes men to make him think he's brilliant
He had options to be tested Martinez Winky Margarito Guys thay would have made the odds a little closer not this ****.
The fight with Wright would have been at jr middle Martinez also said 154 And Cheato didn't lose to Mosley when that challenge was made :good
Ray Leonard fought a past it hagler, he got gift decisions verses hearns. He was destroyed by Duran. he doesnt hold a candle to Floyd. All you nostalgiacs are gonna burn me but its true. Ray could never do what Floyd did.
whats the difference, he still lost to a past it mosley. Floyd wins, they lose, the world turns, and water is wet. these are truths of the universe.
