Why CANT Sugar Ray Leonard be the best of all time?

[Frank Ducketts]

Leonard is one of the best athletes to box!!! He was outstanding on a gymnast floor and moved on a basketball court with incredable control. He was also taught the boxing basics as a young USA competitor and grew into an outstanding amatuer. As a pro the only he lacked was above average power because the call for "speed" to be safer was ingrained in him. He stopped Hearns out of "fear" of loosing and with a barrage of punches, plus Tommy was extremely fatiqued at that time.
Leonard moved like Sugarman, had speed like Sugarman, fought simular to Sugarman used Sugarmans name but................couldn't punch like Sugarman could and couldn't take it like Sugarman could and didn't have the will to set up his opponents like the REAL Sugarman could! Imagine Leonard boxing for 20+ years? He'd be 50 W 50 L & 10 D//// if he fought in the 40 thru 50 in the WW division he's be a late top ten fighter, and without his foot speed he wouldn't be in there at all. To me he's a top twenty WW, and thats a damn good fighter to me. He's a very good fighter who had a few great fights but I don't use the word great as much as others do. It kind of waters it down.

Lmao. That meth must be serious.

LOL you've shown the board your knowledge of boxing is weak. Hang your head in shame.

Troll.

Can't answer the question, lmao. Just say Hearns was greater. Say it, lmao!

He also ducked Hagler too until Hagler looked bad in a fight it came out of SRL's own mouth. But you won't believe that either.

Most say Robinson, but I wasn't around to witness his era.

If you think he's the greatest then he's the greatest. All about opinions.

When I was a kid in the 70's the old timers used to say Joe Louis was the best heavyweight, then others started saying Ali, later on some even said Tyson. Personally I think it's Jack Johnson. All about opinions. Same as religion. Whatever you believe, then it's true.

[Frank Ducketts]

Alright, sorry. I hate Leonard though, so I take opportunities to insult him when I can. It's hard to find those chances though, the man was too good.

You have to put aside hate and bias when judging retired great fighters.

Stop ducking the question. Who is greater, Leonard or Hearns?

I'm sorry but there is such a thing as objective reality.

I don't deny Leonard's greatness. It kills me, but I never have.

I can brag about Duran-Leonard 1 though.

I hear ya, but I don't go out of my way to criticize fighters that I don't like. But I'm speaking from a "I don't hate any fighters" mentality. I came close to hating 3 fighters though... Wlad, Kostya and Terry Norris.

Hes one of the best of all time..... That's nothing to turn your head up at
