    Sugar Ray Leonard is considered among the greatest of all time. Primarily because of TWO big wins.

    Roberto Duran and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

    What style did SRL use in those fights? Did he slug? Did he ****? Or was he on his bike all night?

    Ray learned. He had nothing to prove. Get the win first. Floyd is a smart fighter. He will do whatever it takes to win. Even if it means putting the entire arena to sleep.
    People might critisize him now, but when he retires those w's on his record will say alot about his legacy.

      People forget what SRL was doing in the 'No Mas' fight (or they are too young/never saw), and that Hagler was saying "C'mon, *****. Fight me" in their fight.

      The "W" is EVERYTHING.

      Oscar would kill for a few more W's.

        Surgar Ray had a punch though and much more offensive-minded. Dios, do u think he lost to Hagler?

          Sugar Ray has more power than Floyd. But he did not use it in either of those fights. He slapped and moved. He shoe-shined.

          I gave SRL the Hagler fight.

            How do u think Leonard would win against Judah, Baldomir and DLH?

              The oscar that fought Hatton would KO Hatton in less than 8 rounds, and the Castillo fight was 6 Years Ago and Mayweather beat him clearly in the rematch, also Mayweather has became a MUCH better fighter over the years than he was before, defensively and offensively.

                  For as long as the people who witnessed his fights are alive, Mayweather will always be known as a boring and dull fighter.

                    One body shot by hatton could seriously turn the fight...

                    Why not fight as he does best....Makes no sense to make life difficult..
                    Sure, why should Andre Direll try to hurt the shorter fighter Stevens at a disastrous weight class for Stevens with an impossible reach disadvantage?

                    Dont tell me youre an Andre Direll fan too, because by this logic you are opening up a whole slew of in-ring slackers to legitimacy.
