Let's Hear It For Sugar Ray Leonard.

i'm sure if Leonard had any more fights I could name that much more the way he was going. What was his record-was it 36-3-1 or was it more like 35-5?

:!:

 

Nice.

Haugen W12 Camacho

Lewis KO2 Bowe

Hearns KO4 Roldan

Mullings KO9 Norris

 

Leonard v Hearns I. I think everyone would agree Hearns won the first 5 rounds, not by decisively knocking Leonard all over the ring during each round. But he was coming forward aggressively, landing jabs, and out-working Leonard. The odd right hand connected on Leonards chin as well. Competitive rounds, but Hearns clearly.

13 rounds were completed at the time of the stoppage. So If Hearns won the first 5 rounds, he would only have needed to win 2 of the last 8 rounds to be ahead. However depends on If someone scores the 6th and 13th rounds 10-8 for Leonard, which is possible. If memory serves me correctly Hearns did take a count during the 13th round. I might be wrong.

 

Did you say Bruce Finch, Larry Bonds, and Ayub Kalule? Did you say Don lalonde? Did you say......two titles in one night? Uno mas? a rubber match ten years in the making.

I didn't think so.

 

Rooster. While I'm not a fan of Leonard, his accomplishments in the ring are of the highest calibre. However I do agree that Leonard winning the two WBC titles against Lalonde was a farce to say the least. He got special treatment from Jose Sulaiman on that occassion, no question.

As I have said before, I'd be embarrassed with such an achivement on my record.

Pretty simple: Winning two world titles from two seperate divisions in one fight you could call cheating.

While fighters like Hearns and De la hoya won WBO titles at super-middleweight and super-featherweight, they did win titles in 5 divisions by winning them against 5 seperate opponents, the same can't be said of Leonard.

In my opinion only one fighter has legitmately won titles in 5 different weight divisions, counting the three major sanctioning bodies. WBC/WBA/IBF.

Floyd Mayweather

1. Genaro Hernandez. WBC super-featherweight title, 1998.

2. Jose Luis Castillo. WBC lightweight title, 2002.

3. Arturo Gatti. WBC light-welterweight title, 2005.

4. Zab Judah. IBF welterweight title, 2006. Carlos Baldomir, WBC welterweight title, 2006

5. Oscar De la hoya. WBC light-middleweight title, 2007.

 

Not bad but nothing quite tops Camacho KO 5 Ray Leonard :!: :vonnecunt :toney :tdh

 

Tarver KO2 Jones.

Checkmate!

Ooooooooooooooo, he saved the killer blow for last! Well played, and congratulations on your resounding victory!!

:good

 

Not even close. Camacho ko 5 Leonard is the most gratifying knockout of our lifetimes. Remember, leonard thought he would actually beat Hector. So did you!

 

That was his killer blow?? Hell, that tickled! He should feel embarassed

 

Ha ha. Nice work Kasparov. :good
