Def a p4p great, but his career had flaws. Credit to him for winning the first fight with Hearns, but the first 13.5 rounds of that showed one of 2 things. How great Hearns was, ro that Leonards was 'slightly' overrrated. A fighter who is schooled in their prime raises question marks imo.
That said, he won the fight so what do I know!! 
p4p I would say...
Duran
Hagler
Leonard
Hearns
