    Let's try it this way:

    Any boxing fan over the age of 5, KO 1 Rooster.

    I like that better.

    The answer to this question should be obvious to anyone who actually watched Leonard's fights from the time he was at his peak to when he finally lost to Norris, but rather than answer it, I think that I'll point to your ascertion that he was at his best because of a lame performance against a 37 year old Duran.

    Real good analysis.

    Holyfield still wins. Probably a close but clear UD.

    Because you can't answer it-that's why you won't answer it and keep giving me the run around. If it's obvious to you then simply tell me, otherwise stop patting yourself on the back for avoiding the question.

    I've already tried to tell you that I clearly noticed Leonard's reflex's, and skills diminishing in the Norris fight and his more recent fights, but you keep coming back with the same tired old rhetoric time and time again " he looked great against Duran. "

    That doesn't explain ****. What signs?And in what fights?

    Are you talking about being dropped? Leonard's always had problems taking a punch! Look at Geraldo. Look at Duran. Look at Howard. They all either had him reeling or dropped him. What a bunch of ****** logic.

    How do you explain his mobility in the Duran fight? You don't like it when I bring up this question (same tired rhetoric) because it proves your whole "leonard was shot" theory wrong. There certainly was nothing wrong with him in the Hagler fight. Fact is, he looked better in the Hagler fight than he did in the Kalule fight or the Hearns fight (1) or the Duran fight (1) or the Howard fight 3 years before. What about the signs in those fights?????

    Go on man, stand up for yourself.

    Well you are. You clearly lost this one newbie. Go pick a fight with John Thomas. He's a moron.

    I think the Dokes of 89 was a better overall fighter than the Dokes of 81 or 82. Dokes actually had something to fight for when he battled Holyfield in 89. (He fought for his mom and for his 91 yr old friend & manager Marty Cohn)

    That is correct,

    The Dokes of 89' was as good or better than the Dokes of the early 80's.

    Well if that's the case, Sugar Ray Leonard was as good or better than the Ray Leonard of 1981. And we all know he hadn't lost since that time. An 11 year unbeaten streak! How about that?
