Who has the better resume Sugar Ray Leonard or Manny Pacquiao?

That's because there's no argument to be had. SRL fought in the better overall era, and beat better top end competition. As I said above, there's no argument for Pacquiao over Hearns, and even Roach said Duran beats him at 140. As far as a head to head match-up, SRL would stay on the outside and pop Pacquiao with enough jabs and straights to win by decision.
As I said above, I love watching Pacquiao fight and I'm far from a hater, but better resume or even better fighter than SRL? No way, and I hate Leonard.Comment

fantasy wins dont count dumb dumb....and sure aint the basis of one's greatness.....Comment

I swear, how hard is this to understand? I hate SRL with a passion and even I can say that he has the better resume and was also the better fighter.Comment

LOL, Pac will never be in the same universe as SRL, let alone pass him on a legit ATG list. The only opponent that he can fight that would be on the level of a a win over a Hearns, Duran, or Hagler is Mayweather. Pac hasn't done **** to even be in the top 30 ATG GTFOH you fanboy.Last edited by BoxingTech718; 04-24-2011, 05:28 PM.Comment

Did you miss the first part of what I said, "dumb dumb"? SRL fought in the better era and beat better top end competition. No one on Pacquiao's resume can be reasonably ranked higher than Duran, Hearns, or Hagler, all of which SRL got W's over. The only reason I added the match-up comparisons is to further illustrate why Pacquiao is not better, because he would've had virtually no chance at beating the guys SRL did.

No matter how much logic you bring to the table it will go round in circles until it eventually stops. Just for the whole thing to restart a few threads later.
I mean, ask anyone about him. You will get the same response.Comment

If SRL was so good, and it was supposed to be such a good era, how come Floyd senior isnt that impressed with SRL haven even fought him? He said Flloyd would beat him.
Now you are going to say Floyd senior would say that wont you? Saying SRL would beat Pacs opponents as good as Pac is an OPINION. I deal with facts. Pac is far more dominant than SRL.Comment

As for that list:
hoya- 1 - Ranked lower than Hearns, Hagler, and Duran. Was old as **** when Pacquiao fought him and couldn't have beaten anyone decent.
hatton -1 - Product of facing ****ty competition and beating up bums in the UK, got embarrassed against the only two borderline ATG fighters he faced.
cotto -1 - I won't rag on Cotto.
margo -1 - Margarito has the defensive skills of a four year old, and a major cheating controversy in his background that brings his limited achievements into question. Even depicted in the best possible light, he's jack **** in the big picture.
erik -2 - I won't pick on Morales either.
mab -2 - This one is borderline like most of MAB's. He's got big wins, but he also has some pretty notable losses.
jmm - 1(disputed) - Lmfao @ Counting this. Apparently you didn't watch their fights.
sasakul -1 - Meh, I'll give half a point for this one.
Actual total: 5
Breakdown:
1/2 point for beating an old ass De La Hoya
1 for beating Cotto
2 for Morales
1 for MAB for a high highs/low lows kind of career + the second fight being against a clearly faded version
1/2 point for SasakulComment
