He was clearly not a supermiddle but watch that 89 fight and picture him against todays crop. He's wiping the floor with all but a few of the current top 10.
Just like modern great fighters like Floyd can give weight away so could have Leonard.
Leonard was very selective who he fought during this comeback. He only chose Hearns because Tommy was wobbling against opponents and thought he was there for the taking. Leonard was still knocked down against Hearns, lalonde, busted up by Duran and battered at light middle by Terry so he was far from invincible. Numpty.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
