Originally posted by Johnwoo8686 View PostIts funny how Floyd gets so much heat for his layoffs yet Sugar Ray Leonard had far more layoffs than Floyd and his layoffs were much longer yet Sugar Ray got fighter of the decade. How do you lose to Roberto Duran, take three years off, barely beat Marvin Hagler, take another year and a half off, and get a draw against Thomas Hearns yet be the fighter of the decade?

Overall pretty solid list.
In the 1990's I would have had Roy number one as Pernell was on the slide in the mid - late 1990's.
2000- 2009 I would have Floyd number one. But thats only my opinion
Again good lists.
