Sugar Ray Leonard or Roy Jones Jr....who was better?

[VatoMulatto]

Prime Roy vs prime Ray.....P4P who was the better fighter??

Ray Leonard and it's not close. One of (if not) the greatest of all time.

I vote SRL. faced better competition too.

legacy wise sugar ray had more prime atgs to trump roy, but roy having washout wins on toney and hopkins gives him solid credibilility...

head to head roy is a bigger faster stronger version of ray, with bigger pop in both hands, especially the straight right...

all things being equal, ray would have to deal with roy's unorthodox puzzle, and roy would have to deal with ray's tenacity, especially in the late rounds...

WASHING WIN AGAINST BHOP??? LMFAOOOOO

Winning 8-4 without doing anything significant is close but CLEAR.

FAR from "washing". I'm sure you'll say that was a robbery too lmfao

Clearly Leonard. Wins over prime Hearns and Benitez plus a clearly still great Duran. I believe he lost to Hagler but the fact he made it arguable is a testament to his greatness too.

Nobody in the last 50 years has a better four opponents/wins that that.
