    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. That’s why his legacy endures.”

    “If Floyd cares about such things, he’ll fight Golovkin, but I don’t think he cares.”

    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 ..

    I think it's frustrating that someone as talented as Floyd didn't fight everyone he was supposed to.

    In other words, fighting guys who have absolutely no chance in hell of winning.

    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.

    Leonard didn't have that many fights, in all honesty. He had a relatively short career.
