    No, I think Sugar Ray Leonard was more complete.

            Absolutely not. Roy was really quite sloppy technically and not a very sound defensive boxer. He may be the most gifted athlete ever to box but he's certainly not the 'perfect fighter'.

            I personally rate Mayweather as a better fighter than Roy, he had speed and skill like Roy did but knew how to harness it into a schooled boxing game. Mayweather at his best is closer to unbeatable than Roy at his best IMO.

            Neither are better than Sugar Ray Leonard, beyond that I couldn't say.
