    Leonard with more movement had to cope with a lethargic fat Duran for 8 rounds to only win by a 1, 2 and 2 point differences in the scorecard (ignoring No Mas)

    He beat Duran twice. Leonard on the back-pedal all night beats Duran

    Ok Markus since you don't seem to include context in hindsight then we might just call this a day.

    The best of Ray Robinson was a tad better in almost every aspect of boxing than Ray Leonard.
    And he should be, he fought much more frequently, and was much more consistent. In a sport 80%- 90% about repetition .
    But physically they were about the same. They could do anything in a boxing ring they wanted to do.
    So for me it always will be , Robinson, Leonard, and Hearns in that order at welterweight head to head. Though of course many welterweights had more title defenses.
