There was discussion about this in the box earlier today and @BringBackFergy offered an opinion that Sugar Ray Leonard was 10x’s the boxer of Mohamed Ali.

 

Does anyone agree with his take?


nope

 

Duran has to move up in weight to fight him, so that wasn’t legit

 

he clinched Hagler the whole fight, warned 68 times “stop holding Ray” and nothing was done about it

 

he was an entertainer, part of that glorious night in 1976 at Montreal for US boxing, and wasn’t all that....

It can be argued.  The funny part is that the greatest Canadian boxer ever was a female dog named Joy.  She was quick and smarter than any human boxer Canada ever produced.

My argument stands: Look at Cassius Clay’s “Strength of Schedule”...Liston (big deal), Foreman (pshhhh), Jerry Cooney (Old Glass Jaw). Then look at Sugar Ray’s SOS: Hearns, Hagler, Spinks, Boom Boom and Roberto. All legit fighters. 
 

I think you see my point. Boom!!!
