Who was better P4P Ray Leonard or JCC Sr?

Mark knows nothing about boxing, Flash. Dont waste your energy.

 

To the (mild) contrary Mark is slowly learning and may get there eventually. He has to learn very rapidly that better fundamentals do not necessarily make a better fighter.

 

It needed saying.

 

You could say the same about the rematch x 2. Only one of them quit, didn't you know?

But you only give excuses one way. And that's because you're biased.

Your posting in this thread has been very poor. Pull yourself together.

 

Well, you said Leonard only landed jabs on Benitez, which is patently wrong.

And his defence "wasn't" flawed. There have been those with better defences, but that doesn't mean that Leonard's was flawed.

You take very chance to denigrate Leonard and without basis. Are you a Duran fan boy or a Hagler fan boy or fan boy of both?

 

That's debatable, but IF he did, he should've, with a 8" reach and almost a 4" inch height advantage.
I've said this before, I haven't seen the fighter in all of boxing history that could out box Hearns from long range. His height and reach advantages were better than most heavyweights, he punched like a Lt.heavy, had the skill level of almost any ATG. He was faster than most opponents he fought. And all of those advantages at welterweight.
Think about that for a few minutes.

 

Leonard looked utterly fantastic against Benitez. Hearns fought brilliantly too making the most of his physical advantages and following a great gameplan. Both were magnificent showings.

 

I don't really disagree with anything here. It's just not correct to pretend that Leonard was 100% for their fights, but they weren't. That's all.
