    that's the whole point of combinations, fast and crisp overwhelming ****
    you dont need to put power behind them, instead save energy while scoring


    Alot of trainers teach this, i've boxed and i've seen alot of trainers in corners just saying "touch him, you dont need power just touch him"

    Leonard had power when he needed it, but his short hook flurries i could never help but laugh at
    so whats your point? you just dont like his style?

      well hes one of the most overrated fighters of all time, but thats another list. as for greatest fighters of all time he doesnt break the top100 imo. hes probably not even top 10 in this era, so to say hes top 10 or even 25 or 50 of all time is crazy.

            Overrated.
            He beat lacy who was overrated at the time
            He Beat Kessler who Ward whooped
            He Beat OUT OF PRIME SHOT OLd Jones who Green Stopped in 1 ROUND
            he Beat a 43 Year Old Hopkins by SD who many feel he lost *LIKE ME*

            His resume doesn't get him no where near top 100 to me. I laugh if somebody puts him top 50. He ducked Johnson, Dawson, Froch, etc. He left to many names out there and even stated you would have had to pay him SUPER MONEY to fight Jones back in 2003 because he wouldn't risk it lol. If your a fan then i pity you. Your a fan or a ducker/overrated/sissy fighter who was protected for all his career.

                JC has gone under the radar a bit. But he beat BH, in America. So he was GOOD. Very good!
                Yes there are more things he could have done, if he didnt retire but that can be said of most boxers, unless your name is Pacman.

                  PPl can point to his resume which is in truth lacking but I can't think of 5 SMWs who I would honestly give a good chance of beating him.
