    Who was the better fighter and who would have won between the two.

    Michael for sure was the better of the two but Leon was a bad dude as an amauter and early on in his pro career.

    Leon gets dissed a lot for how his pro career went south fairly early on due to his partying but he won a gold medal in 76 against some pretty good Soviet and Cuban fighters plus Micahel Dokes in the Olympic trials. Unfortunately for him he had a short prime. He had the heart of a lion and is paying the price for it these days.

    Michael was better and I'd pick him to prevail H2H

    I've heard stories of how Leon used to whip Michael when they were kids. 50/50 imo. Little brother syndrome is real.
