7 fights in 22 months. 4 with hall of fame opposition. I would be happy to have another embarrassment like Ray Leonard around nowadays.
This is almost vile. Leonard is literally everything great about boxing...He threw every type of punch there was and was a lethal puncher. This is ignorance and you shouldn't be allowed to post again.
he is the OG of all everything that is wrong in boxig...
he also invented catch weights, ducking, and beating your wife. still to this day you got boxers copying him. a true innovator
He definitely brought along his style from the amateurs esp. those point scoring pitty patty flurries he's known for.
Ahh the good ole internet, where those who've accomplished **** in boxing criticize those that gave their all for the sport....nice to see the forum hasn't lost it's touch.

Fair enough, he wasn't perfect. Correct me if I'm wrong but aside from Duran, weren't the rest of his losses after he returned from a detached retina?
Well, ask Davey Boy Green, Hearns, Kalule, Bonds, Lalonde(light heavyweight) Benetiz, and his many other KO victims how hard he slaps! This forum is getting horrible!
