      Because there have been 5 or more better fighters than him since Muhammad Ali.

          He's definitely up there probably 2nd for me. Ray Leonard always had many things in his favour and fought guys at the right time so he's slightly down my list though on the face of it he has far and away the best wins.

            Thread starter is like one bad hangover from 2010.

            Plus being Koed by non-descript fighters early on and losing to Bradley don't help much. I didn't think he lost to Bradley. I actually thought he won 10-2 rounds when I watched it live. But that's what the record shows.

            His record also officially only shows one loss to Marquez, so why aren't you acknowledging that in the same manner as you've done with the first Bradley fight?

              Because it doesn't fit his argument.

                Because I don't believe in what judges tell me, I go with what I see. That was my point. I saw him losing to Marquez 3 times and beating Bradley the first time. The second Bradley fight I didn't really care and never paid attention.

                (To me, Marquez lost clearly in the first fight. No amount of boxing skills could bridge the 3 knockdown gap in the first fight. My friends say that's maybe because I was a hardcore Pac fan at the time.)

                  Ray Leonard's resume is so stacked with ATG's/HOF's it's rediclous. It makes up for the fact that he didn't have as many fights as most ATG's. It's pure quality just like Muhammad Ali's.

                      just as Pac=Duran stated, this is your opinion. An opinion from someone who boxing scribes, analysts and former/current do not agree with. The kids accomplishments speak for themselves. His losing early in his career, his winning ways after and him being ktfo by a suspect marquez, then coming back and still being on top of his game is not only great for him, but also the sport. 99% of the greats have lost. Those who havent were either matched up well or fought opposition when they were way past their prime.

                      your hate for the guy is seriously something to laugh at. grow the fu.ck up
