    I don't think it would have mattered much, especially when you have an idiot like Jo Jo Guerrera giving Ray 10 rounds. Hagler should have fought more aggressively, even Petrellini said so. Perhaps he should have fought Leonard like he did Hearns, just coming right at him.

    I think Mike Tyson was more intimidating than Hopkins. Other categories could be things like combination punching, power, ring I.Q. and toughness.

    I guess Louis or Robinson.

    Taylor was too "flurry-esque" for me. Guys like Tyson, Louis, Robinson, Duran, Chavez, Marquez, all threw nice combos with power and leverage, each punch designed to create and exploit openings.

    completely unbeatable fighter.
    this is all relative to size, so depending on the weight class they will have the speed and powers that they show in their natural div

    chin: lucas M./ggg
    off/deff transition: floyd
    deff: floyd
    power: GGG/LM, hell too many can be chosen
    speed: Taylor/Russell, many others too.
    strength: ggg
    stamina: floyd/ggg and many others
    all around technique: floyd/ggg

    hell, just add floyd and ggg together and thats impossible to beat considering i dont see anyone
    being able to beat them independantly anyways

    He had definitely slowed down. Pretty clear that he wasn't the same guy who fought Sibson in 1983, when I think he was at his peak.

    I still give Leonard credit. He had only one (official) fight in 5 years and was the smaller guy.
