Is Sugar Ray Leonard the G.O.A.T@ 147

Yeah Duran was one of the very best...and the best lightweight ever!

 

true but leonard had the better quality wins at 147 imo but not by much. benitez, hearns and duran are pretty impressive.

 

I do not see how Roberto lands in front of Ray. For doing what? Ray knocked out great fighters Benitez and Hearns and Duran (TKO stoppage) and beat Hagler. Duran only beat Ray, which was his only win over a great, which Ray then won the rematch easily. Had Duran beaten Arguello and Pryor and had the icing on the cake of beating Cervantes I can see it. Or had he beaten Benitez at 154 instead of being beaten easily. He lost to all the greats and Ray beat all the greats. History is on Ray's side.

 

You must get bored of typing this, MAG. I've seen you type this over and over again for the past 2 years.

 

Yeah, he hates Duran.

I'm watching Hearns-Leonard 1 and Leonard's body punching tends to get underrated as does Hearns recovery. They were landing bombs in there and after the first 5 rounds, Leonard kept landing devastating bodyshots and won the 6th & 7th. It's actually a credit to Tommy's endurance that he was able to last for 14 rounds against a very credible puncher in Leonard as those shots would've put down even the toughest men or at least made them think about taking a knee.
