    Does Leonard show himself worthy of the name Sugar Ray? Who wins this and how?

    I got SRR in a late TKO ... Better boxer, more power, and Experience is a big factor here as well. No disrespect to SRL but he just didn't have enough fights to beat the great SRR resume..imo

    Sugar Ray Leonard was certainly worthy of the name. Robinson had a bit more power and he was rangy. I don't think Leonard was quite as dangerous with one punch.

    Robinson on points. But SRL is definetly worthy of the Sugar ray name. Even SRR said he couldnt have hoped for a better boxer to carry the sugar ray name when speaking about ray leonard.
