    Never! He is the most hyped fight I know off. But him against a good fighter and gets exposed.

    Look at the people SRL has beaten - Hagler, Duran and Hearns. You don't get that much better on your resume.

    Leonard was unimpressive in all his fights after the Hagler fight, GGG would have done much better against tyhose same fighters on those nights, Ray put silver dollars in his pocket to make weight because he couldn`t make the weight for the Lalonde bout but still won because Lalonde waas awful.

    Ray was far better when beating Hearns and Duran compared to when he won v Hagler.

    Ray couldn`t have KO`d Canelo, certainly not fighting the way he did on his toes against Marvin.

    Ray gassed badly against Marvin, Canelo threw more punches and didn`t tire v GGG.

    Leonard was not an all-time great middle at all.

    When exactly was this guy's prime and who were the legends that he beat during that period?

    Tripple G fans always trying to rewrite history. Canelo beat him. It's in the record books.

    One of the greatest middleweight of all time, really? You mean one of the greatest byproduct of careful matchmaking.

    Nobody with actual sense and brains gives a **** what the record books say. Lol People can watch and rewatch these fights for themselves and know what really happened ;) So you and the usual suspects can whine about “Record Books Doe!!” all you want. The VAST MAJORITY say GGG beat a PED infested Canelo.

    All his fights while he was champ compared to Ray when he fought Hagler because Ray was not in his prime when he fought Hagler and was not at his prime weight, Ray ssaid he really didn`t like getting hit at the higher weights, Hearns dropped him with the extra weight but at welter Ray took Tommy`s best shots, he was also floored by Lalonde, I don`t feel RAy could take GGG`s shots he just wasn`t a middle.

    You're assuming Golovkin is fast enough to tag Leonard. I think the first Alvarez fight and especially the Jacobs fight exposed Golovkin as a flat footed plodder. Something we've always known and Golovkin fans refuse to acknowledge.
    By the way I had him losing on the card to Danny Jacobs.
