Why so little respect for Sugar Ray Leonard?

Tommy still gets props here in MI. if Paul Williams grew a gheri curl he'd be the new Hitman

whats there to get?

I haven't really seen many people hating on him

Williams doesn't have near the pop that Hearns had and is 100X the boxer Hearns ever was.

NO WAY !! U joking right. Its more like this:

1. Duran
2. Hearns
3. Hagler
4. Leonard

Not sure I agree with that.

Leonard out of those 4 is easily the most relevant today. Do you live outside the States?

STFU Bilal

and I know most of you are too young to remeber but all the LADIES loved Sugar Ray back in the day. so many of my young loves wanted to go black and never go back with him!

Ray Leonard gets a lot of **** because he was the pretty boy/media darling of his time, unlike Oscar he won his big fights.(yeah he lost to Duran but made him quit in the rematch)

Ray was/is the fookin man though.

[wXh.]

It's quite simple

Getting beaten up by a LW. Waiting till Hagler gets old. Little flurries at the end of the each round to steal the fight from Hagler. Beating up a weight drained Hearns. Never giving Wilfred B a rematch when he took the fight at short notice and gave a good account of himself.

Leonard is heavily overrated and would lose to De La Hoya, Tito,Mayweather,Winky,Forrest and many others IMO

Yep this is it. This is what I always hear from hardcore boxing fans. And it is true waht you have said but still they signed the contract to fight him dindt they?

well who do you think could be the new Hitman then? I'm just saying...

[Grand Champ]

Leonard ended up the biggest of the four. stole a lot of the light from the other. Can't really blame that, he was very exciting to watch.

QFT. every once in a while you get a pretty boy who can really fight. Too bad Augie Sanchez wasnt that guy so he could have destroyed Mayweather in the pro's and savd us the grief of wasted talent
