He made the right decision if u look at the career he had. (u seem 2 b a fan of hopkins so is tht correct about him having no amateur career etc)

I don't think SRL has a case to being the GOAT. He might have a case to being top 10 ATG but not the GOAT.
Only 3 men IMO have a case of being the GOAT. And, that is SRR, Greb, and Langford. I don't know who's the GOAT between those 3. But, for me those are the top 3.
I do think Duran is greater than SRL. I have SRL around the top 15 ATG. My list changes constantly. Sometimes it's just splitting hairs.
I will say that in terms of greatness Roy Jones doesn't come close to SRL.
And, I believe SRL beats Floyd Jr at 147. But, that's unfair to Floyd Jr. 147 is not Floyd Jr best weight-class, it's his 4th weight-class. So to match him up against IMO is a top 5 ATG NATURAL WW. It's quite unfair.
I will say there's isn't many if any fighters who could beat Floyd at 130. Where he's more naturally suited.

Leonard was too inactive to be the greatest fighter EVER, in my opinion.
He's definitely one of the best fighters I've seen though.
A complete fighter.

Timothy Bradley fought at 152 pounds in the amateurs, so I guess he's a true junior middleweight picking on junior welterweights. Right dj??
