What was sugar Ray Leonard's greatest performance?

I'd go for Hearns too. SRL isn't the best boxer ever, but he's the best I've seen.

 

I've never seen Robinson at 147, but enough people say he was The Greatest that you've got to believe it might be true.

 

His 1st fight with Hearns for sure...

 

His 14th round stoppage of Thomas Hearns

 

hearns but hearns was by no mean the brutal puncher and body shot artist in his later career he was very green and only now was he growing into his frame.

ray as 'great' as he is....was flat out running away from him till he knew only to knock him out and he struck gold and made hearns do the track meet.

not a good side of him. i would say duran 1 it was on durans own fight he looked amazing super quick hands knocked duran around a bit. he showed he could fight any way he wanted.

 

Leonard would have been ko'd if they fought two yrs later at 154, because that's when Hearns peaked.

 

I think Leonard beats Hearns at 154, probably not at 160 but SRL was never really a middleweight anyway.

 

I love watching the guy's amateur's on youtube aswell. He had great handspeed and put together relentless combo's- a pleasure to watch.:good

 

SRL was one of the greatest all time. He may not be the best in terms of power and skills, but arguably he was the most intelligent fighter of all time.

 

Cant forget when he fought Danny Lalonde, it was like David and Goliath, but the Hearns fight was the best.

 

Good to see some SRL appreciation. It's hard picking his best, Hearns was a great win but Hagler was totally against the odds. He showed what true self believe and chasing a dream could do.

 

Hagler, while not being the best fight he was a big underdog.

 

It wasn't his greatest performance but the beatdown he put on Mayweather SR was funny as ****, no wonder he is so ugly
