    Leonard stood toe to toe with Duran. How was he intimidated?

    Roberto had him shook upstairs. Part of the reason he lost.

    Artur Grigorian is an ATG at Lightweight.
    Laszlo Papp is an all time top ten middleweight.
    Luis Rodriguez is 11-14 numbers below Kid Gavilan and Jose Napoles at 147lbs.
    Sam Langford was not as skilled a boxer as Bob Sapp.

    I read a good one earlier: Simon Brown should be ranked ahead of Barney Ross at Welter.

    Michael Dokes would probably best Gerry Cooney in his prime.

    The WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO are largely insignificant titles and can not be compared to the World Championship of old (pre-1975 or so). I refer to them as "organizational titles."

    For example, Mike Tyson winning the WBC title at age 20 is not on the level of Floyd Patterson winning the pretty much universally recognized world title at age 21. Deontay Wilder's 9 WBC title defenses is not on the level of Muhammad Ali's 10 (second reign) world title defenses.
