    Ray Leonard looped his right hand and lacked counterpunching and defense. He wasn’t the best ever.

    He was incredible. He almost took Prior's head off with that straight right several times. So perfect...

    Whitaker was harder to hit than Mayweather.

    Are you kidding me? He beat Hagler,Hearns,Duran and Benitez- and two were unbeaten.
    Rays defense was on point and he could counter punch. He had it all and Im a Hearns fan!

    He wasn’t the most complete or best fighter ever. Ricardo Lopez, Floyd, Roy Jones, Tyson, Duran 135, Whitaker 135....the list goes on. Leonard had name opposition but showed flaws compared to the very best.

    Never seen Harry Greb fight but damn, his record was incredible. Best on paper for sure.
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Mike Tyson
    Roy Jones, Jr.
    Pernell Whitaker
    A young Hector Camacho looked phenomenal on the way up.
    And Julio Cesar Chavez was a bloody pitbull during his heyday.
