Roy Jones would've killed Ray Leonard at Super Middlweight...Fact!

Elaborate on the talent and skills you are proposing Leonard lacked then so we can all discuss whether we agree or not.

 

F.lomos once again showing why they are the dumbest set of fanboys in boxing. Hoe be jealous cause Leonard is rated higher than his idol and decides to start this stupid thread , of all the things he could come up with to praise his lord and saviour Mayweather this is the best this dumbass could come up with.really s****ping the bottom of the barrel here.

 

A fact is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experiments or other means). From wiki

 

Leonard is rated higher because he has a better resume. He beat Hearns, Duran, and Benitez.

 

floyd fought in an era where guys like robert guerrero and victor ortiz can be world champions

 

Thurman and Brook wouldn't even be top 10 contenders in the Fab Four era, or the 90's WW era.

 

look up the meaning of the word 'fact' in any dictionary before starting threads like this

 

This forum is embarrassing.

Obviously, Jones would thrash Leonard at 168. But that post is just embarrassing.

 

This forum has really gone down the ****ter since 2013.

 

Yeah, its just gotten worse and worse.

I think newbies should be given boxing IQ tests prior to being allowed to post here.

 

But what specific ''talent and skills' does he lack that's what I was asking for clarity on, we need to know what you see in Leonard that is deficient, what do you think declined? What specific fights are you using to express your opinion that he had no longevity? Why do you bring up Mayweather if your beef is with him and Jones Jr?

 

I don't believe that Ray is overrated. Ray is one of the greatest of all time in my opinion. And he had no business at the higher weights like SMW.

Of course Roy in his peak at SMW would have been a clear favourite, but it would have been meaningless. I could list a number of guys who'd be favoured over Ray at SMW.

It's also unfair to try and do direct comparisons with fighters who fought at different weights in different eras. Floyd is also an ATG, and you really have to admire and respect his longevity. At Floyd's current age, both Ray and Roy were no longer top level fighters.

Although Ray didn't have Floyd's great longevity, he most certainly had the talent that Floyd has, and his resume and his achievements put him higher in the rankings in my honest opinion.
