Whats so great about Pernell Whitaker??

[Obama]

Your not a alone, I have a serious dislike for SRL but not once have I made a thread questioning his greatness, want to know why? Because I've seen enough of him to know his greatness shouldn't be questioned, too bad T.S didn't do the same. He called overratd what he knew nothing of.

Maybe you should, Con Man Leonard's greatness should always be questioned.

People have the nerve to rate him as a top 10 ATG....

He was great yes....but he conned his way into the appearance of being greater than he actually was. Even he knows this.

I can't stand Ray Leonard but I don't think there's any questioning of his greatness as a fighter......unless, of course someone is letting his personal antipahy get in the way of an objective evaluation.

He beat Hagler and that's all that matter,Anything else he accomplished doesn't matter at all.

He did the world a favour on that night and for that one fight he is without question the greatest of all time.

I would have loved to have seen the look on the faces of the "Hooligans for Hagler" clique after Hagler lost

The man!!

[Hotsoup]

Gold Medalist Champion
First man to unify the lightweight championship since Duran
Was the first man to put a blemish on JCC's record.(hE WON THAT FIGHT!)
Beat,Mayweather,Haugen,Nelson,Mcgirt,Chavez and Ko'd Hurtado
He beat Julio Cesar Vasquez..a guy that floored Winky Wright 5 times.
Pernell was never knocked out.
He gave Dlh and Trinidad very tough fights when he was 10 years older then both those guys!.
You can't understand the greatness of Whitaker by looking at his career on box rec. He was a master of the sweet science.



And he pulled some of the sickest moves in boxing history.

The man!!

The pretty boy you mean? Media darling. Retirement freak. Anybody who thinks SRL was always nice and gentlemanly in the ring, I suggest you go watch the Ayub Kalule fight.

Show any respect towards your opponent in the ring and you deserve to get knocked out,Your opponent deserves nothing but contempt in the field of battle.

That's what pisses me of with these mmGAY fighters bowing to each other and touching gloves at every break like some kind of fake pseudo samurai.


God bless (the real) Sugar Ray Leonard,The man who retired Marvin Hagler.

I can't stand Ray Leonard

You hate Leonard and yet you idolise Joe Louis

And then retired himself. Leonard had no spine.

One came back and the other didn't.Hagler knew that the time was right to retire when he started looking around at the real middlweight division that was emerging,A division that was actually stacked with talent and opposition,It shocked him that a division could be so good and so competitive,Which was very unusual to him as he had seen nothing of the kind when he fought in the middleweight division.

I wouldn't go as far.
