Oscar De La Hoya or Sugar Ray Leonard

[Dambala]

Two of my all-time favorites, both we're great but Sugar Ray was the greater, by far, but if you mean in terms of stardom it's close but I'd chose Oscar.

[The Gambler1981]

The only thing Oscar is greater at then Sugar Ray Leonard is in a money stacking contest, certainly nothing inside a boxing ring.

Sugar Ray Leonard was one of the greatest to ever lace up the gloves, while Oscar made a lot of money. Even if you are talking skill Sugar Ray was a much more uniquely skilled fighter.

This is not a debate Sugar Ray Leonard

Sugra ray wins a UD in a competitive fight.

Leonard easy.

[Scott9945]

Not even there. SRL was a superstar, and was constantly in the mainstream while he was active.

True. Leonard got $50,000 for his first fight, and that was over 30 years ago.

[Scott9945]

Not even close. Leonard. And those saying "hard to tell" are ignorant and probably just started watching boxing this decade.

No comparison. Leonard is on many top 20 AT P4P lists. De La Hoya shouldn't even be in anyone's top 50.

Sugra ray wins a UD in a competitive fight.

But only because SRL let nearly everybody be competitive with him.

SRL and PBF are similar in that way: you kinda feel that you are close in skill to them because you went rounds. In reality, you are not.
