Is Sugar Ray Leonard overrated?

no known historian picked Norris to annihilate Sugar Ray Leonard!

so much for their credibility!

also, please learn to spell names of Hall of Fame fighters!

it's spelled Camacho, not Camachco! atsch

Don't get me wrong; I love Leonard but Hector and Terry were all wrong for Leonard

That's WHY neither fight was a fight!

Leonard should have stuck to his usual plodders! :yep

and hence stay away from the Nunns, N Norrises, & Camachos of the world!

If anything, you should be grateful that Norris came along and exposed Leonard's chinniness which was only hinted at in some earlier fights dating back to his second pro fight (Can you say Willie you almost retired me Rodriquez?)

Yes, Terry exposed Leonard's chinniness with his exquisite speed!

In short, Terry was slick, quick, and made Ray Leonard sick!

whilst Camacho, who had double Leonard's pro bouts and twice the number of wins over championship caliber types, also took full advantage of that chin!

in short, Hector hit Ray so fast that Ray had to back up just to see what the hell he was doing to him!

we may like what transpired in reality but you don't HAVE to like it; just abide by it!

 

Don't mind him Kevin. He thinks he has credibility on this forum

 

For the third time please list the noted historians that rank Norris and Camacho higher than SRL.

Let's see what you got. Bet it's nothing. A nothing has nothing.....expected and appropriate

 

for the fourth time tell me why I should if none of them predicted a Norris victory?

That means your experts-all of them, have been reduced to knuckle heads like yourself!

tis like the blind leading the blind

but I'm sure that a knucklehead like yourself wouldnt grasp this simple concept and you'll most likely come back with "come on Rooster! list the noted historians who failed to predict the proper outcome, that rank Norris higher than Leonard!"

let's see what you got. Bet it's nothing

About the only ones that got it right were let's see,, me and Norris!



Now repeat after me: Terry's feet were sweet! His blazing fists were a treat! after three rounds of merciless face slapping, Leonard was worn into defeat!

 

I sparred with him on and off for ages, it was good practise and at some point you really start to see the fun side of it

 

such a shame. Leonard could have been one of the greats like Floyd Jr if ONLY he had defeated the younger albeit much less experienced fighters

Ray leonard wasnt on the same level as a Floyd Mayweather, who fought them all, and beat them all

no excuses

no blaming excuses on age, layoffs etc

I wish we had more fighters like Floyd - proven against all types, all ages

after all, who ever beat Floyd?

as for Norris, he's in the hall of fame

not like the detractors here who cant face reality

Terry said after the fight "I'll always look up to Ray. I'll never lose respect for him"

but how could that be the way he kept slapping him around?

I mean it was downright irreverent!

 

Red, how would you see the SRL that beat Hagler vs pre Roldan Frank "The Animal" Fletcher?

 

the animal of 1982 would drive Leonard crazy

 

The Animal by stoppage or decision?

 

1982 was a banner year for the sport

too bad people like Perry missed it

But I know you were around

the violence was unbridled. so much so, the sport had to be regulated to reduce such fierce activity

where is boxing today? nowhere

 

If Geraldo had him hurt the way he did, I can only imagine the torment FF would put him thru

Results most probable? a suffocating late tko or points loss but I wouldnt be surprised if it ended sooner

 

Another you were keen on over the years was "Hard Rock" Green. Could SRL get the job done against him when he was atop his not inconsiderable peak before The Animal mauling?

 

Hey idiot.

For the forth time please list all the boxing historians that list Norris and Camacho over SRL.

If not I guess you are the only one that rates Leonard below Norris and Camacho. Not a very compelling argument. The red loser loses once again!

 

Hard rock was a skilled fighter but lacked heart. As soon as Fletcher cut him he quit.

 

I just invalidated your experts and you know why? Because you havent replied!

and it's not for lack of trying; you just can't do it

Tee-hee! Tee-hee-hee!

Let's put it another way, maybe it will help:

why do your boxing historians have any credibility if none of them called the fight correct beforehand like yours truly?

That's one you seem to be stuck on.

The whole of Eastside Classic is waiting for your response!

just between us though, we both know you're stuck
