Who was better, Sugar Ray Leonard or Roy Jones Jr?

[Master]

Hamed started to slip when started fighting real competition, not because he became lazy.

Naz unified the division with ease and when he was with Ingle he was the bomb. That version would have given MAB a much harder time.

Roy is the most talented fighter I have ever seen and it’s really not close.

But Ray had it all. It’s possible Roy had it all in his prime and we just didn’t get to see it but....we didn’t get to see it. So we can’t assume he had the heart of SRL, the dog that SRL had in him, the ability to keep his wits when things aren’t going your way. We’ve seen a million talented fighters come apart when things start to go wrong.

We can only credit fighters for what we know they are capable of. SRL showed ya more. But we can always remember Roy as the most talented fighter we ever saw, that’s not such a bad thing to be.
