    I think you might have me confused with someone who actually gives a fvck what you or any other pathetic Yank thinks.

    An oafish, nation of loud mouths. Ten of them could make more noise than a hundred humans.

    You could be right about Britain though, whose major problem is that it appears to be happy being the tail of your universally despised mutt.

    :lol:

    and u said u werent a srl fan

    now the truth is revealed

    u even wrote "Don Lalonde" as if Lalonde could be compared with other champions

    the truth is Don had no past and no future

    as for Camacho, he may have beat an old leonard but was old hisself :lol:

    add to that, an unconscious reach disadvantage so it evens out :yep

    and lets not forget Leonard "outpointed" a shot Hagler

    yet u still give him credit (on account his record needs much padding)

    Hector dont need no padding and no mention of palookas carrying titles

    Hector beat Limon, Mancini, Haugen, Pazienza, Ramirez, Boza Edwards, Duran, Leonard (the only man to stop him) Howard Davis, Rosario

    THAT'S why Hector is on the list. Hector's resume is flled with a who's who of stars that someone like Ray Leonard only WISHES he'd had

    but as they say, what ye reap ye sow, and Ray Leonard hadnt reaped much in his career

    what's more, becuz of Hector, latins get to brag that Leonard reached his breaking point against latin fights

    that is to say, Duran ended Ray's unbeaten streak and his virginity

    while Hector also popped his cherry in terms of never having been stopped

    and what a sweet experience it was for us all

    as for Ray Leonard, I woud put him not only at the bottom of this list but somewhweres around high 40- 60s

    u cant put him over Joe Louis, no way. Joe had 25 def. ray only 4. the numbers jus dont add up

    he aint over benny Leonard no way either. the original was way tougher and far more successful with almost 10X the fights!

    Archie was fighting into his early 40s defending his title while Ray at 34 was getting hs ass kicked by Norris

    no comparison there either

    Hagler was a far superior fighter. so superior in fact, Ray would never fight him until he was the end of his career. even shot, I thought Hagler won more rds

    Arguello - far better tested, and only fell apart becuz he moved up too many times and had past his peak after 14 yrs of non stop fighting. Leonard didnt even have the balls to face Pryor :lol:

    Monzon; how do u compare a 35-3-1 with an 87-3-9 record?

    u don't

    yes but the Hagler of 87 was at the end and shot

    the Hagler of 83 had just levelled off from his peak

    Duran's version of Hagler was far superior to the 87 version. Seriously, Leonard nver faced that version did he?

    like Vito said one week before, anyone could beat Hagler now. he was that terrible. and I would vouch for him having seen MMH in sparring. he was crap and truthfully, he should honestly be compared with Ali of the Holmes fight. completely toothless, no legs, reflexes were shot, easy to hit. why do u think Leonard came out to fight him?

    :lol: ridiculous

    erm, why didnt we hear any of this going into the Hearns fight
    6 months earlier?

    u dont suddenly reach the end by taking a few jabs to the head

    a better explanation is Hamsho & Moore were too much fighter for him

    Benitez was overrated
