    Another thing that makes him cool is that he's about 53 years old and looks about 30.

        For me he is Top-10 all time. I don't get all wishy washy about guys who fought in 1920 like most Historians.

        Leonard is the #2 Welterweight of all time, only guys who could beat him were Ray Robinson and Tommy Hearns.

        Leonard had a flair that nobody has been able to emulate since. He was a flashy fighter, but also a brutal finisher. He was so good that his heart wasn't always on display but his victory against Hearns in a fight he was losing was a great example of Leonard being able to dig deep whenever he had to.

        Probably the most well rounded fighter of all time, he could do it all, and didnt rely too much on any 1 skill.

          he is Top 10 even though I never liked him, can't deny he was one of the greatest ever, even though that win over Hagler is still DEBATABLE!

            I rate him number 3 just behind Ali and SRR.

                I have him just scraping into the top 50, which considering the literally millions of fighters over the past 100 years, is pretty good.

                  Top 10 for me, like 7 or 8. I have him higher than Duran because Duran was the mini version of Bernard Hopkins. Not to mention Leonard was just more skilled and better.
