    So you cant handle the truth.
    I saw Leonard fight several times.
    The news and media always liked him.
    A gentleman / personable.
    Nevertheless he didnt come close to possessing Floyds skills nor was he a strong fighter.
    Looked good against mismatched opponents.
    Leanard wouldnt touch Floyd.
    Period.

    Sugar Ray Leonard established himself as an all time great with victories over the best fighters of his era. His first title was no gimme fight - because he had to stop previously undefeated boxing phenom Wilfred Benitez. Leonard dropped a close decision to one of the greatest lightweights of all time in Roberto Duran - but came back to reclaim his title by boxing circles around Duran. He turned back the challenge of the pound for pound hardest punching welterweight ever - Thomas Hearns. And he cemented his greatness by moving up to middleweight to dethrone the most feared middleweight champion in years, Marvelous Marvin Hagler. He displayed power, speed, endurance, an iron chin, and an indomitable will. He was in many ways - the perfect fighter.

    He was being sarcastic, methinks. Why am I not all that surprised that you didn't catch it? :D

    IMO, he ran and pitter patted his way to a gift decision against Hagler.

    Other than that, he was one of the best of his generation.

    Looked good against mismatched opponents like Duran, Benitez, Hearns, and Hagler?

    But Floyd does it against the best of the best like Gatti, old Oscar, Baldomir, etc. I have a feeling this dumb ****'s just a troll though, and we're feeding him what he wants.

    If not then he needs to be banned ASAP. He has fast made a name for himself as one of the worst on ESB.
