      He obviously wasn't so confident, otherwise he'd have gone through with fighting Jirov (someone who was willing to move down in weight to fight him.)

          Who thinks he loses to a cruiser before the ruiz fight ??

          Name the last fighter to gain 51 pounds over a career and still be out weighed
          30 pounds on fight night and win a belt ???
          Ill wait.
          (Thats like asking floyd to go weigh in at 154 and fight hopkins
          At 175 and thats even to light by 8 pounds.
          So to make it completely fair ,
          Throw in kovalev which is closer to age as ruiz was)

          Floyd wont even fight sergio or GGG at 160 or ward at 168

          Name the last guy who went undefeated for 15 yrs
          Who didnt duck his top 3 threats in his division .

          Name me the last guy who beat 2 alltime greats in their primes
          With ease. B hop /toney/

          Name one guy more talented
          This goes without saying. With the exception for a few, this is common knowledge

              Looking good and effectiveness are two diff things...leonard couldn't throw the shots jones could when he put power on his shots were waaay slower...jones was fast and powerful with combos and singles...leonard wasnt

              Also leonard was a sucker for right hands, kept left too low and didnt have jones reflexes or overall speed...leonard was aesthetically pleasing, jones was but more effective and powerful



              how many ray leonard fights have you actually seen?

              leonard was actually a very good puncher.

                He was a very good puncher, especially at ww

                When he set down on his punches and put his body in them, his combos were a bit slower than when he threw the flashy arm punch flurries

                Watch his fight against floyd sr, hearns, benitez etc....very good power and speed but jones and pacquaio threw faster power combos

                No disrespect to the legend

                  at Leonard being a pitty pat flurry puncher. Sure if you watched maybe about 4 fights out of his 40 fight career. He was a great combo puncher.

                  Jones is top 30, I guess. Never made an all time list.

                    Prime for prime, Roy is definitely top 10 ATG. His resume, and end of his career do leave a little to be desired though. Talent wise, Roy was as good as it got.

                      he's definetly an ATG. he was able to achieve what no one was able to in the last century. he beat other hall of famers and a fellow ATG.
