    Sugar Ray Leonard is one of my favorite fighters of all time, and I could not think of him without thinking of Duran, Hagler and The Hit Man.....

    For me they are definetly up there among the greatest at 140-147 lbs....

        Acquitted....

        You speak so much without knowing a damn thing.

        First off...Hearns @ 140 ? If you could get me a tape of some of his big wins at that weight, I'd appreciate it. Good luck !


        As for his fight with Leonard...
        It's one of the best fights you'll ever see....but where do you get this "one little flurry" **** from ?
        Ray battered Hearns in the thirteenth, dropping him twice (though one was ridiculously not ruled as such).
        If you look at that round now, you'd easily score it a 10-7.

        Leonard than picked back up where he left off, putting it to a super-game Hearns.
        Did Davey Pearl stop it a bit prematurely ? Yeah, but Hearns was NOT going to survive. He was finished.

        So, go watch this great fight again, & use your brain once in a while 'round here. Thanks.

            GREAT FIGHTER BUT BEST EVER NO CHANCE.

            Sugar ray Robinson is the best ever Welter who drew breath.

              Sugar ray best welterweight period Walker could be up there as well and henry armstrong,
              Tommy hearns was powerful and he is up there on the lists

                tommy chin lets him down though, sht man if he had had a decent chin we coudlda been looking at one of the all time DOMINANT greats though probably at light middle / middle for my money.
                as it was he is just a great but not the man in any one division.

                i loved watching him though, simply loved watching him that right hand ouch, a thing of beauty unless you were unliucky enough to be in the other corner.

                I watched his demolition of Duran the other day (ive got it on dvd) **** no one did that to Duran, it s was an annhialation. awesome.

                  LMAO, Exactly!!!

                  The two Sugars, Robinson and Leonard are clearly at the top of the all time Welterweight list.

                  However, the Hitman may be the best Junior Middleweight ever.

                      Overall Id have to say Sugar Ray Robinson is the all-time best welter-weight.
                      P.S the hitman was robbed in the second fight with leonard
