Anything to argue...and DLH opp was not caught at the right time?...Pernell was at his best right?....Chavez as well

Leonard's best wins are Duran, Hearns, Hagler and Benitez....Duran was at his best during the LW years...he was given a gift against Hagler...LaLonde was and OK opp...we wont even count Norris and Camacho because Ray was embaressed in those fights...they were long past his best days.....

So please how do you question Robinsons comp but not Leonards?
I agree you can for certain question Leonard's opposition, he only fought Hagler with a smaller ring, plus only a 12 round fight instead of 15 round fight. Plus he only fought Hagler when he thought Hagler was shot. But still Leonard deserves huge credit for the win considering he had not fought in 3 years.

Same with the Hearns rematch Leonard only fought Hearns after seeing Barkley KO Hearns, everyone thought Hearns was a shot fighter and so did Leonard so he thought he see a good opportunity when Hearns was on the slide but boy was he wrong.
But he didn't win. Leonard fought scared the whole fight. It was smoke and mirrors all night for Leonard and the judges fell for it. He stoled it. I had Hagler winning by 4 rounds. Anybody with any boxing knowledge can see Leonard didn't really want to fight. And he didn't deserve the win. So I give Leonard no credit at all for this so-called "win".
