I’m sure Benny Leonard was one of the great Lightweights, I’m not disputing that.
But how can someone say he is better than , for example, SRL or Duran if they have never seen him fight?
You can’t do it from reading up on them.

so now you're sure benny leonard was one of the great lightweights? & you're not disputing it? i'm not saying it's a fact that benny was better than ray or roberto, i'd actually have roberto ahead, i wouldn't know because they never fought, it's just my opinion, you seem to not understand that these lists are subjective, who are you to tell someone they can't base their opinion on reading up? i can & i do

When I’m said “I’m sure” it’s a thing that you say. It doesn’t mean I am sure, it means “I’m sure you’re not lying, I don’t dispute what you are saying.”
I don’t dispute it because I don’t talk about things I don’t know anything about.
I Think you know this, but it suits you to twist or spin my words as a stalling tactic or to deflect from questions raised.
When I form an opinion, I form it on what I see. That’s why it’s MY OPINION.
I can’t imagine me saying for example, “yeah Ali was decent, but I rate Jack Johnson slightly above him because Bert Bacharach from the New York Tribune said that he was the greatest boxer of all time.”

Floyd is a genuinely great boxer. Cool, composed and immaculate technique with a tough tough mindset.
At Welter, though, Hearns murders him. Tommy was HUGE at the weight, whereas Floyd was always a small welter.
Hearns is the only guy to truly outbox Ray Leonard, who I think was technically as good as Floyd. Hearns was truly vicious in there too …. And I would know.
Over 12 rounds, I don’t see how Floyd wins this one. If you were going to create a composite fighter to beat Floyd, it would end up looking just like Tommy.

i'm is a contraction of i am. you also said you don't dispute it. you don't have to know something to have an opinion. i'm not twisting or spinning your words, that is exactly what you wrote. i'm not stalling or deflecting from any questions, i don't base my ratings only on what i have seen but on many forms of information available to me. you are free to form your opinion only on what you see, i can form my opinion based on many other forms of information & it will still be my opinion. i can't imagine you saying “yeah ali was decent, but I rate jack johnson slightly above him because bert bacharach from the new york tribune said that he was the greatest boxer of all time.” either, i also can't imagine myself saying that either

Oh, it is you who don't understand... my eternally-contradictory friend.
It appears the message went right over your head.
For everything else in life you live by a "must see to believe" credo. And yet for boxing rankings you question that very same principle.
No issues.
Just pointing out the ironic oddity of that statement.

Oh stop it! You're killing me here.
You're burying yourself in this argument.
Pretty rich... from someone who lives in Conspiracy Theory La-La-Land... and has denied a pandemic that has been proven and re-proven and re-re-proven to all of the civilized world.... and that has killed scores of people worldwide.
"Where have you ever said must see to believe??"
You've.
Got.
To.
Be.
Kidding.
Me.
where is your proof that convid is a virus caught from outside the body, from person to person through the air or off surfaces that i can verify? you have already admitted that you only believe that & spat the dummy when the burden of proof was placed on you to prove your belief is true. still waiting for me to show me where i said must see to believe
