Sugar Ray Leonard won a title at Light HW, Can You Imagine A WW Doing That Now?

[elfag]

Hearns KOed cruiserweights, at cruiserweight not at a catchweight.

Ray got that belt for fighting at 168 pounds, lol.

Sugar Ray Leonard has never fought above 168 pounds.

Hearns KOed cruiserweights, at cruiserweight not at a catchweight.

Yeah Hearns would have been a better example.

[Kagami Taiga]

Ppl complain about catchweight and they don't even know the history of that ****ery of a fight. Probably easily the worst catchweight in history.

No ww today could even come close to that,but they are also a lot smaller these days and SRL was an ATG top 10-15 fighter

I think Floyd could. He could pot shot his way to a UD. I'm being serious larry

[Luilun]

Rewatched Leonard's fight with Lalonde for the WBC light heavyweight title, crazy stuff. The guy was huge and Ray admitted that every punch hurt, Donny looked like he was gonna get Leonard out of there multiple times but SRL made a comeback and even stopped the LHW. That is some serious power. Can you imagine a welterweight attempting that today? Fight is well worth the watch. Credit to John Molina Jr for recommending it.

And you have stupid Floydturds who think Floyd would beat Leonard, Makes me laugh when they write that stupid crap

[Luilun]

Roy started at 154 and won a title at heavy. Beat that

He should be TBE them and snatch that stupid hat from floods ugly head

Roy started at 154 and won a title at heavy. Beat that

this to me is more impressive
there are so many lighter divisions guys can collect titles just putting on the normal weight everyone does in their 20s

going from 154 to hw is a normal sized man fighting freak giants

(well at least on paper.. ruiz was kind of a lame hw champion)

[The plunger man]

Well he did get caught taking steroids so all the bulking up was illegal and should not count as he was exposed.....I like jones but he cheated and you cannot count that if he was juicing

[bojangles1987]

Correct.

For both the SMW and LHW titles on the line.

Much backlash at the time, deservedly so.

That was a SMW fight.

What they said. Imagine Andre Ward fighting Kovalev at 168 for his 175 belts and how pissed people would be now. You think anyone would give him credit?
