    Silly statement and I was not a Leonard fan. No one rates Norris over Leonard. Beating Mugabi, Brown, Taylor, and a very shop worn Leonard (very tail end of his career) pales in comparison to the ATG fighters SRL owns wins over. Incomparable and it’s written in history as Norris is always rated below SRL if Norris is rated at all. The only ATG Norris best was Leonard and he was a shot fighter at that time.

    Name three historians that rate Norris over Leonard.

    And Tyson Should've beaten Douglas, Foreman should've defeated Ali, So should've Liston, Twice. Cervantes should've beaten Pryor, so should've Arguello, Twice also... I should've been able to fly the space shuttle, The south should've defeated the north in the American civil war. Nazi Germany should've defeated the Soviet Union. Godzilla should've defeated King Kong. Should've means absolutely nothing to the end result.

    it's a true statement

    a claim was made "Leonard beat ATGs Benitez, Duran, Hearns, Hagler"

    when I make the same claim for Terry, and the Terry Norris list swallows the SRL list, it deprived you of your joy of humbling me

    your newest tactic of relying on opinions No one rates Norris over Leonard......it’s written in history as Norris is always rated below SRL if Norris is rated at all

    is meaningless when you have wins over

    SRL
    Mugabi
    Taylor
    Curry
    Brown

    Look see, you did it again " pales in comparison to the ATG fighters SRL owns wins over."

    just be a good sport and accept reality

    Idiotic statements. None of the fighters Norris beat were ATG fighters aside from Leonard but Leonard was a shot fighter at the time.

    Leonard beat Hearns, Duran, Benitez and Hagler ALL considered ATG champions.

    Please show all the historians that rate Norris over Leonard pfp. The reason you won’t post any is that they don’t exist. The only person that rates Norris over SRL is YOU.

    While Terry beat Taylor, Leonard, Curry, Mugabi, Brown and a host of others

    Simply put, everything Sugar did, Norris did better (at least inside the ring)

    If you want me to be as impressed with Leonard as I am with Norris, then please show the win that leonard has over Norris

    The reason you wont post it is because it doesnt exist.

    Norris came out of the Texas amateur circuit a notoriously low talent level area of the country. SRL in comparison won Olympic gold at a time where the Cuban amateurs were considered akin to US pros. Leonard DOMINATED in this very competitive environment. Where is Norris’s Olympic gold medal?

    Norris was beaten NINE times in his career knocked out FOUR times. SRL was beaten three times and stopped only once in his final pro bout.

    Leonard is considered not only a highly rated ATG welterweight but also a pfp ATG fighter. Norris is neither.

    Again I ask you list three historians that rated Norris over SRL pfp. If you can’t all you have is your own opinion and that don’t cut it buddy.

    Do you rate Berbick over Ali all time because he beat a shot Ali?

    Do you rate Charles over Louis all time because he beat a shot Louis?

    Do you rate Norris over Leonard because he beat a shot Leonard?

    Your comment reek of childishness. Grow up man. Such an embarrassment.

    Coming back to win in a losing fight against ATG competition is what MAKES an ATG. Leonard’s come from behind KO over Hearns is one of boxing’s great comeback victories. Stuff that ATG are made of.

    you are confusing 1981 with 1991.. I remember Norris being knocked down with a jab against Brown. Hearns was never knocked down with a jab.
