Floyd is not better than Sugar ray leonard.

[Cletus Funk]

Yes there is 2 sides to every coin and his arrogance may turned some people off from fighting him or made negotiations to hard. PBF would have beat the **** out of Kosta Tszyu because he would not have gotten caught by that punch that KO'ed Zab Judah.

I don't know, I've only seen Kosta outboxed for 1 round and we all know what happened after that. It would have been a chess match of the highest order.

You know the answer to you own question. And your whole last post was about de la hoya.

My whole last post may have been about De la Hoya but it wasn't addressed to you. I am asking you who you think this competition is supposed to be. Because the only 2 people who I think can give PBF a good fight and be in a close weight class in Mosley and Cory Spinks. Margarito is a ****ing unskilled brawling bum to me. Cotto is half way decent but he is to slow for PBF. Hatton doesn't even belong on PBF's undercard he has no chance. So the people I think is different from the majority which is why I was asking YOU who you thought his top level competition is.

We can agree to disagree about that. I respect what you have been saying because you do not seem to be to the extreme like some of these other people.

Mayweather has never faught guys like Thomas Hearns,Duran,and Marvin Hagler.

Nope at the moment Mayweather is not better than Sugar Ray.

Nice use of the word bollocks. We'll make a Limey out of you yet. Nice swerve on a couple of points too.

thank you! I lived i UK, too

You've made it clear on here in the past that you have an unhealthy distaste for SRL and I'm not going to be the medium for you to pedantically vent your spleen about him for much longer, so get it in while you can.

sure, I just have to repeat the same facts over and over. it is a pleasure

Talk about 15 pounds all you like. Oscar was a very good fighter and still had a little left, I'll admit. It was a fairly brave move by Floyd to fight him but let's not confuse it with the real thing, we ARE NOT talking a prime DLH by any ****ing stretch and Floyd did not look good in the fight to many observers, me included. And let's not forget that old favourite of your's either - Floyd only won because DLH gassed out in the last 3rd of the fight.

that's your opininion. the fact is he won.

this version of DLH at 154 is still 100 times better than Lalonde ay 175 (but having to come in at 167)

SRL rematched Hearns, didn't he? He fought Duran a 3rd time, didn't he? Who the **** are you to demand when and where the fights happen or to hold that against him? He certainly didn't do himself any real favours by delaying it. You must have had a hissy-fit in between the MAB / Morales fights when they were fighting other people.

10 years later in both cases...

Fact:
when Leonard got the L, he had his rematch straight away.

when Leonard got the W, the rematch happens 10 years later

Thanks, but I knew his eye wasn't injured in the 1st Hearns fight. Hence my point about the easy defence.

i actually understood that

And yes, I know all about the build up to Duran 2 and the many, many, many urban legends surrounding it.

so, what's your point? anything srl sayas is true and golden and a good reason to retire and not give rematches. what duran says is useless crap

I'll give you that "bullcrap" all day long buddy, I couldn't care less if you want to hear it or not. Nobody forced these guys to make concessions. They agreed to them for one reason and one reason only - greed, so **** 'em, I say.

Ok, so you are celebrating the business man who brings money to the table and not the warrior. I just wanted to know that.

The fact is there's not a thing that Floyd's done that bares comparison to Leonard's career apart from the accumulation of belts. Ray fought at a whole different level, full stop.

facts:

5th weigth class: PBF takes it.Oscar>>> Lalonde.
4th weight class: PBF takes it. SRL fights old men from lower weight classes. PBF fights the champ
3rd weight class: SRL takes it (obviously)
2nd weight class: PBF takes it (Castillo twice>> Kalule)
1st weight class: SRL fights the better opposition, by far, but he collects a loss in the process and see remarks above on Duran and Heanrs rematches. PBF cleans out a weaker division.

full stop
