    with all this nuthugery that goes on around here it got me thinking...

    is there any boxers out their who's legacy isnt challenged? i mean is there any who is mutually agreed on as "damn... that was the man, cant deny that ****".

    there are some people around who even question Sugar Ray Robinson's legacy, or Sugar Ray Lenard's Legacy, or Rocky Marciano's legacy.

    so is there any boxer that everybody agrees kicks ass?

    Well Rocky's legacy is usually questioned..... it is far from unquestionable

    Sweet pea hardly ever gets ****, and rightly so.

    SRL he was the man, how can you deny his legacy.

    Very often the legacy is challenged by someone that never put the gloves and was beaten at school :).

    every legacy should be challenged. There is no such thing as a perfect legacy

    Nailed it. I've never heard a bad word said about this guy and for good reason. He was professional, in and out of the ring.

    I've seen a few posters on here try to discredit Arguello, but then 28 other posters hand-em their asses pretty quick!
