I would say a 147lber Leonard was faster than RJJ, and in a different sort of way Hill was more elusive than RJJ (to the head at least :P).

And RJJ never had them heavy hands; he relied on his speed to stun his top class opposition. The only top level opponent he ever stopped was Hill, and that was a body shot, a mother of a body shot, but a body shot. All his other stoppage wins were against lesser opponents like Griffin and Kelly.

And if RJJ was disrespectful enough to throw a lead right at Hearns; sooner or later he drops that left enough for Hearns to fire a right hand Crackerjack at RJJ's chin...
