Yeah Leon’s lack of discipline is legendary. It’s a shame because I really think he could have succeeded at cruiser if he tried and acclimated his body the right way. He could have picked up an alpha title at cruiser and then maybe another at heavy against one of the weaker champions. One mistake I think his people made was throwing him in with Coetzee right after the Ali fights. I think he needed to take a step back, reinvent himself and steadily build himself back up by fighting “ good “ but not “ elite “ opposition
I think he would have been a good cruiser. Even when he was at heavy he was usually under 200lbs anyway. The guy just didn’t like to train
Berbick was wildly inconsistent, too. Leon could outwork him. Berbick, however, would overall be the safer bet.
