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

[lightsout_finit]

In his prime Roy was unbeatable. Can you name of a single contemporary of his, that could have been of the slightest competitive with him? Yeah, just like I thought. No, of course you can't.

Michael Nunn
Rocchigiani
Dariusz Michalczewski

Would have all knocked him out. That's why he ducked them.
look it up kid!



Prime Roy...
lol

[djtmal]

The TS asked who was better P4P. Who would be better if they were the same size?

ok so then roy would have the height and reach advantage on ray...plus, say @ 160, roy would rehydrate at least 5 to 8 lbs....ray was clearly maxed out @ 160 lbs...

ray would be looking at a beastlier version of himself who could beat him to the punch all night, plus counter off his jab

[Johnwoo8686]

Leonard was past it when he fought Norris. He would have stopped Norris in his prime.

We'll never know that. Norris was a beast himself and would have been competitive with Loenard at any time. And Leonard being past it isn't much of an excuse Pacquiao, Mayweather, Hopkins were all able to win fights after they had lost a step

The piece of **** Is a steroid cheat. And he Is a duck.

Remember that **** with WBC ****er???

ATG fighters don't have glass chins....

Even before Tarver exposed him....

The punch land that was enough to push Roy, but he slipped. Look at his legs after the punch landed, it was firm in the floor with balance but then it gave in since it slipped.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I'll go with Sugar Ray Leonard. The Hearns win trumps anything Roy ever did, although I think Roy had a great career no doubt.

[GOLDKING]

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.

A clear loss to hagler, a controversial win over an out of shape duran, a come from behind win over hitman via stoppage and benitez win.
I would take Salvador Sanchez TKOs over azumah nelson, danny lopez (x2) and wilfredo gomez as more impressive.

[Summilux]

RJJ the greatest peak of any fighter, ever. Having said that, SRL was more skilled and had the better career.

[GOLDKING]

Also RJJ beats leonard at 160 with ease.
No real arguement for how SRL beats RJJ at 160 when all SRL did at MW or above was get outboxed by hearns, smashed by camacho and a gift decision against hagler.

That win against an out of shape Duran in the second fight was overshadowed by the lose in the first fight. People key on the fact that Duran simply stopped fighting in the rematch.

Does anybody even know what P4P means on here? Damn
