    Wow, no one even said anything about Floyd. Are you using Floyd as a measuring stick? as if to say, "if you're better than Floyd then you are really really good because Floyd is one of the best"

      Include wins over Benitez. Titles in different weightclasses...how is he overrated?
      Amen to that. Beat 4 ATG in 5 fights, who can say that? Name them

          His celebrity power boosted him to stardom, and made him a huge money figure in the sport. But Leonard was a great fighter that earned all of the praise he had received, so no he was no overrated.

            Noooooooo! Don't. Just don't.

            Please let's not soil the name of one the greatest to put on a pair of gloves. It's a different time and the only way you will prove this, yes, it is up to you to prove it, because his resume says ATG, is a lot of reading, watching and discussing with boxing pundits. It doesn't happen in a boxing forum.

            Sugar Ray Leonard was not overrated and that's a fact, Jack.
