Sugar Ray Leonard is a Welterweight king. He does everything that Oscar does but better. SRL beats up on Oscar at any weight...especially 147.

Right. De La Hoya would have a statistical insignificant chance to win. Leonard was a great fighter promoted as a great fighter. De La Hoya is a good fighter promoted to be a great fighter. Therein lies the difference.

Plus, just for the record, I FIRMLY believe that De La Hoya took himself out of that Hopkins fight. And I'm no DLH hater. I think I am being objective in that. Leonard, say what you will, never quit and never would have. Therein also lies a difference.

Just my thoughts.

You got a big point there. Also, I believe Sugar Ray Leonard is insulted by just being compared to DLH. DLH would have stayed home if he got the eye problem of SRL.

If it goes 12 rounds, Sugar Ray wins because during his career, nobody had gotten more gifts than Leonard has. He had more judges in his pocket than Don Corleone.

well if they were to fight 1/26/05 then DLH, no questions asked, but had they both met at their prime,it would be a different story. We will never know who would win, SRL has a few losses under his belt and so does DLH, but DLH resume has better fighter on it

I think SRL hit harder and was much quicker then DLH, I would take SRL 9 out of 10 times to win.

DLH is a much stiffer fighter than SRL was, DLH has fast hands, but he doesn't put combinations together with different punches from different angles nearly as well as SRL. SRL didn't just have fast hands and feet, he had a fast mind as well as quick reflexes. DLH would have trouble landing on SRL, and IMO, it would be kind of like Mayweather vs. Corrales, except that they would both be more or less the same size.

Wow you guys really like DLH. The only top oponent he ever dominated was Vargas. Sugar Ray has a much greater legacy.

SRL easy, possibly stopping De La Hoya. Picture De La Hoya vs. a bigger,stronger, smarter, & possibly faster Shane Mosley. He had trouble with Shane, against fighter like SRL, he get domintated.

He knew what judges looked for, he was a boxing master.
Ray Leonard is better in all categories; power, speed, reach, chin, heart, ring smarts, etc.
Either Leonard by late KO or UD.

Oscar is a ightweight, Ray a big welter who has every advantage over Oscar. Leonard by TKO early

Oscar was huge when he was a lightweight. He wouldn't have been a lightweight in the late 70s and early 80s when Ray was a welter. Different weigh-in rules.

Leonard wins because he's better in just about every way.

SRL had two controversial fights go his way, a win over Hagler and draw versus Hearns.

DLH had three: wins over Ike, Pea, and Sturm.

dlh lost to hopkins cuz 160 aint his natural weight
obviously he will lose to some way over his natural weight
i'm talkin bout 147

**** everyone seems to judge oscar on his fights at 160

he dominated every fight at every other weight

except mosley I

dlh did not dominate molina, whitaker, quartey, carr, trinidad, vargas, mosley either time.
