ESPN.com: BOXING - Time to rename Jones: He's Superman <--- full article

Sugar Ray Leonard was a great fighter, the greatest of the post-prime Duran era of the 1980's. Superman is bigger than Leonard. He is faster than Leonard. Not faster in a pound-for-pound sense, but faster period. He hits harder than Leonard. He is just as smart as Leonard, just as good a boxer, and better defensively. He would have smoked Ray.
Marvin Hagler was always given trouble by mobile fighters. So how would he do against the fastest fighter of all time, a guy who can also punch? Superman would have outboxed Marvelous Marvin. Thomas Hearns had problems taking a punch -- Superman would have knocked "The Hitman" out. Any honest observer would say the same thing I am writing here. At least they'd say the same on a lie-detector test. Or they'd fail it.
Ray Robinson was too small. Rocky Marciano too slow. Robinson was in his prime as a 147-pound welterweight; Superman as a 168-pound super middleweight. Marciano would never have gotten a whiff.
And Joe Louis? Well, Billy Conn, who scored 14 knockouts in 75 fights, outboxed Joe Louis for most of 13 rounds, even badly hurting "The Brown Bomber" at the end of the 12th. Had Conn not gone for the knockout, conventional wisdom says he would have won the fight and the heavyweight title. One thing we know about Superman is that he never presses for a knockout. He exposes himself to the minimum risk possible. Or rather, he exposes himself to just as much danger as he must to win the round. He has won almost every round he has ever fought. And he might have won those rounds against Joe Louis, too.
