    I would never put Jones jr. or Floyd in the same class as Leonard.

    You can choose between these 4 for best p4p in the last 30......

    DURAN
    LEONARD
    CHAVEZ
    WHITAKER

    2 sweet stylists & 2 technically brilliant pressure fighters but in reality.... 4 complete fighters.

    Ps. I rate Ali in his prime a touch higher than those guys & I know he fought in 77 but that version of Ali wasnt as good as those guys, not by a long shot, maybe subtract 10 yrs, thats a different story.

    :good

    chavez for his achievements, sweet pea for his achievements and his talent, hagler, I'd put pryor in there especially since word ahs it around here (DC-SRL home turf) that SR ducked Pryor. Duran for sure was no 1 if you go back 40 and probably right there at 30.heavyweights are tuff....
    I can't say on PBF as I hate to include anyone who isn't done (notice I chose done rather than retired) yet...but he is on track to be right there. Let's not forget SRL got undeserving decision against hearns 2, was questionable vs. an old hagler, and got beaten like a dozen eggs vs norris (albeit he was pretty far gone himself) though his losses were late in his career to be an undisputed p4p that kind of thing weighs in...or else we should definately throw in Jones, Toney and a few others. Not that this puts SRL out of it at all...just makes it less dominant. Finall if we're going to take PBF to task for not so great opposition, then let's really look at leaonard. He lost the first duran fight, he won the second but lot's of peeps have questioned that one, he beat a prime Hearns in his greatest effort and Benitez...anyone else of top class I'm forgetting? Oh yeah a pretty aged Hagler again in a not so impressive victory. I think SRL was a great fighter an all time great...but he has some real ???marks like most of the others too. Cheers.

    the only person to come close is Floyd...BUT....he isnt there only because his fights...if he fights Cotto,Hatton, and Mosley he would be in my opinion...he is already just as talented as him but he just doesnt fight the competition like SRL.
