    I'm gonna say Marvin "Pops" Johnson. Johnson was my favorite among the stellar group of late 1970s / early 1980s 175 pounders. He was a skilled, cerebral fighter. I do not believe Leonard would have beaten him every time but I do think the more they fought the better chance that Leonard starts outthinking Pops and finds a way to win his share.
