        when u say awe inspiring, do u mean awesomely unentertaining? I mean who can forget the fight of the year battles vs oscar & carlos?

        when u say global icon/philantropist, do u mean icon in boxingscene.com's mayweather mafia community & philantropist to the internal revenue service?

        Im glad i just have to ask you & not have to take this "globally."

Many dont realize the many things Ray Leonard did Floyd does today, with how he promotes fights, Ray overblew his eye injury, used every negative the public and writers said about him as promotion, just like Floyd does today, these are well thought out promotional machines behind the cash cows of the business, everything is done to create doubt to get someone to buy or tune in to their fights.

                  Outstanding

                  SRL was as loved as DLH. Maybe some oldtimers didn't like his showboat against Duran but that was a one-off. He was always respected for being a real fighter and he always found the toughest opponents. Comparisons to Floyd in this regard makes me laugh.

                  Overblew His eye injury? Were you even born then? Operations for detached retinas is a relatively new story and back then there wasn't near the succes rate as there is today.

                  Leonard always used his leverage as the draw to get a bigger slice of the pie. No news there. Everybody does that.

                    Ive seen enough movies, documentaries, read enough books from notable authors such as George Kimball and the like, I'll take their word over yours.
