always thought ray leonards showmanship filled a void left by m ali. and that the media helped exxagerate his style. he's one of the greats.
put him in top ten.

Top5 easily and without a question.
Olympic gold medal, beat the best lw of all time, only fighter to beat Tommy Hearns (for me best LMW of all time) @147 or 54, beat the greatest MW of all time, first man to defeat ultra-gifted Wilfred Benitez.
Also one of the most gifted boxers of all time.

Olympic medal means ****.

He also lost to Duran. He beat Hearns and Hagler(though controversially) and Benitez.

I can name more than 5 fighters with a better overall resume. Also, Leonard had those 4 great wins, otherwise his resume is rather thin. Your comment about being one of the most gifted is true though, depends on how highh you rank head to head ability, and how high you rank him.

that first fight with duran is one of my favorite fights of all time.......very underrated when people talk of the greatest fights ever

#9 for me.

Mind if I see your list?

Here's mine

1. Ray Robinson
2. Harry Greb
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Sam Langford
6. Ezzard Charles
7. Barney Ross
8. Roberto Duran
9. Ray Leonard
10. Pernell Whitaker

I really have problems with people willing to rate a fighter with ZERO footage of him as #2 ATG.

Placing Ezzard Charles above Roberto Duran is also quite absurd. Id actually like to see you argue as to why Ezzard Charles deserves to be above Roberto Duran in ATG status.
