    That's not even one of Leonard's best wins, that fight is comparable to Floyd's win over Canelo in that they were both catchweight fights and the bigger fighter had to move down in weight. Catchweights sullies fights.
    Edit: It was for the 168 crown, but the point being was that the bigger fighter had to move down in weight.

    Look up SRL's underrated W vs Ayub Kalule for the 154 crown, that win alone craps all over May's record.
    I was about to say that oo. He destroyed Kalule.

      Ray handily because all/most were in their primes.

        Canelo and Pacquiao will be better than Duran and Hagler when it's all said and done.

          Leonard's top wins are among the greatest wins by one individual of all time. Floyd's wins are solid too but don't compare to ray's.

            On the other hand, Floyd dominated Pacquiao. I think I gave Manny like 2 rounds. Ray wasn't dominating Duran in their second fight in the slightest.

            Duran, Hearns, Hagler, Benetiz are literally the only names on Leonard's record victory wise.

            Pacquiao, Maidana, Alvarez, Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, Oscar, Judah, Gatti, Corley, Castillo, Hernandez, Corrales, Augustus are all good wins and great names.

            Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Leonard fan but the majority of his resume is fluff.
            Hold on, if you're seriously going to count guys like Maidana, Corrales, Corley, Hernandez, Judah, Gatti, and especially Augustus as names for one's record then you'll have to count Ayub Kalulu, Dave Green, and Donny Lalonde for Sugar Ray Leonard.

              accidentally voted for floyd but Leonard obviously. His first fight with Hearns where he was losing badly and knocked him out is better than any floyd victory.

                  Gotta go with Ray, Hearns, Duran and Hagler alone are enough.
                  Plus I’d replace Oscar with Hatton since Oscar wasn’t in Prime while Hatton was a ATG in his prime.

                    Hell yea I am. Lalonde was a joke. Kalulu fought all of his fights in Denmark. I grew during his time and never heard of him. Nobody saw him on tv either, he never really beat anybody unless you count Seales on his home turf.

                    Green? Never fought anybody and all of his fights were in the UK. Never heard of him until now and you haven't either until you looked on Rays record on Boxrec. You need to chill lol.

                      Bait topic.

                      Obviously Leonard because 3 of them are Duran, Hagler, and Hearns.
