Higher On A ATG List. Ray Leonard Or Jack Dempsey?

Well????????????

[QuietOne]

Leonard is the greater fighter, as he has the better resume and accomplished more.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Better Boxer

For me it is Leonard, but only by a few spots. Dempsey has been suspected to use loaded gloves when he murdered Willard. But the way Tunney took him to school shows how a slick fighter could beat him. I think the whole long count can be debated; but Tunney proved he was a superior fighter.

Ray Leonard by a mile.

I'll go for Ray Leonard, just! Quality of opposition being the defining factor.

Both were exceptionally tallented, exciting to watch and were icons in the sport in their defining eras.
