    What was Sugar Ray Leonard's best win

    Personally, I would have to say it was Leonard vs Hearns1. This was a clash of the titans, two prime WW going at it. The Wilfred Benitez win was also great. Who could forget the infamous "No Mas" Roberto Duran fight? Leonard is the greatest fighter since Ali. It's a shame that they don't make them like this anymore, smh.

            I gave the Hagler/leonard fight to Hagler so i'd go with Hearns.

              Hearns 1 is my pick..which is probably Haglers best win also

              Benetiz another good win...very underrated

              I don't think he beat Hagler, both were past their prime anyways and Leonard waited for the perfect time to get in the ring with Marvin

              IDK the Roberto Duran fight is too odd...it's like Duran quit more than Leonard won that fight, if that makes any sense...

                Anyways I go with Hearns also, It was 2 prime undefeated champions. Great fight, SRL scored a come from behind KO.

                Even though it was not asked I think Kalule was his most underrated win. Kalule was a good JMW champion and nobody mentions that win for Leonard.

                And, IMO Duran is the greatest fighter since Ali.

                  What I don't understand is why he's not higher on people's ATG lists with those wins. His resume is top notch and I'd go as far as to say it's up there with Ali's.

                    Leonard would've smoked the Hawk anyways

                    Leonard was too big, too skilled, to fast, ect......
