    Ray Leonard needs to be about 10 spots higher.

    What about my remark about criticizing others' lists?

    also , Leonard's biggest wins?
    a robbery over a faded , older Hagler in a ring , gloves and fight length called by Leonard , and Leonard still did not impress in it .

    stoppages over drained Hearns , drained Duran , drained Benitez @ 147 , and a drained Kalule @ 154 . Sure it is worth of a top 10 spot ? others in my list actually proved resolve while disadvantaged .

    Benitez - One of the best,pound for pound,at the time.

    Hearns - the hardest pound for pound puncher at the time.

    Hagler - Yes,he was indeed faded,but so was Leonard when you compare the 1987 model to his 1981 self.

    Is not it a huge coincidence that every1 move up in w8 after losing 2 Leonard ? or retiring 4 good , in Hagler's case?

    Hagler was far more faded vs Leonard than Leonard was vs Hagler , was 1 of my pts .
