What was Sugar Ray Leonard's best win

[Thread Stealer]

pryor beats srl imo

Pryor's too small and too damn open.

I doubt he'd fare well against the top WWs around then like SRL, Tommy, and Duran. I'd actually give him a better chance against Duran @ 150 (where the fight was proposed) than Tommy and Ray @ 147.

Leonard's not really considered a nice guy among boxing circles. He's gotten a bit of a reputation as a two-faced phony. Despite his tendency to grab his testicles in public, Duran actually has a better reputation in terms of being friendly with fans and to the best of our knowledge, didn't beat up his wife like Ray did.

Thanks for your input. I was really referring to both fighters' public image, not how they truly are. I thought I alluded to that when I used the term "persona" in my post. Not too many of us can claim to know either man personally. The rest of us have only hearsay and rumors to rely on.

I know what my impression of Ray Leonard has always been. He may or may not be a class act, but I always had the feeling that his "golden boy" image might be just that, an image. As for Duran? I have a little more to go on. Despite his public personality, I've always gotten the sense that he's a "real" person. Roberto is reputed to be a great guy in every sense of the word.

Hearns, followed by Hagler.

Well in regards to all-time rankings, I think much of that is due to Duran's career in the 1970s. He was probably the best fighter (although not the most famous) of the 1970s before mixing it up with the much bigger Fab 4.

Callouts are just for hype, they don't really mean much. Negotiations are what count.

When it came time to sign the contract, for far more money than he'd ever made, Pryor said no.
