    These guys are full fledged finishers, once they have you hurt- they take it out of the judges hands. Throw countless punches to get you out of there. A heart of a warrior, both of these men have, great finishing ability.

    Love them both, 2 great fighters.

    Ray Leonard has said before that he loved Wilder's style and how he saw a bit of himself in Wilder.

    Discuss.

    A promising amateur boxer has a knee, wrist or hand injury every time someone makes this threads.

    Ray Leonard, at least as a welterweight, was levels above Wilder in terms of ability and credibility.

    Good luck to Wilder, but he's no Sugar Ray.

    Yep...Ecklund, may sr, youngest ever ww champ in benetiz, most feared p4p Duran x2, unification with Hearns & then coming up 2 weight classes to fight the most feared MW of that generation.

    Compare that to Wilders resume. I hope this thread is a joke.

    Are you serious ?
    Sugar Ray Leonard and Deontay Wilder have as much in common as Dustin Nichols and Chocolatito.

    Wilder is no Sugar Ray Leonard.. Leonard had 10x more skill. You can't even put them in the same league

    If the fact they both are good finishers is the uncanny resemblance then theres about another thousand canny resemblances to Sugar Ray out there. Unless you mean they both have arms and legs, then yeah its freakishly similar.
