A comment by Scrap made me realize that alot of guys may havent seen much of Leonard. If they did, they probobly saw clips of his fights with Hearns and Hagler. Those fights dont give a true representation of Leonards style. Against Hearns, Ray had to go outside his fight plan to get to Hearns. Against Hagler, he fought in the only style that would give him a chance against Marvin.
Here is clip of Ray against a tough Brit named Davey "Boy" Green. Granted, I dont classify Green as a great welter, but dare I say I put him a notch above the Gatti and Baldomir that Floyd has faced recently.
Its a nice display of footwork, combos, speed and power. I think you'll dig it.
Nice footage.

If any of you guys could work the magic of bringing the youtube screen up, I'd appreciate it. Me not to smart.
