IMO he should get more recognition at the best ever. Ray was a master in the ring. Please give me a reason why he is not the GOAT

Floyd Mayweather is for fighting ATG in 39 year old Mosley and VISCIOUS Victor "young prime hungry that didn't just fight for a paycheck" Ortiz. Plus he cleaned up the sport with OST! No more cheating in boxing. Mayweather revolutionized boxing

As god tier as Leonard's resume is, if he had've fought and defeated McCallum & Julian Jackson @ 154 or 160 and Pryor @ 147, he probably would've had undoubtedly THE greatest resume in boxing history.
Or even just 2 out of the 3 wins over the gentlemen listed above and his resume would've been unfuckwittable.

He's in the top 20 maybe 15 or so.
Definitely not #1

Ray Leonard finished his career off in 89-91 (not counting his comeback in the later 90's) and at that time Gerald McClellan was still a prospect......barleyLast edited by Ring Leader; 12-23-2011, 12:25 AM.
