@Blake472 Both pretty tall. Look at Hearns at welter though; he makes Mo Blocker look like a fatty!

They look more like light weights.

So many rounds were so close that I could conceivably see someone giving 5 or even possibly 6 (if you're a big Benitez fan) to Benitez, but with the knockdowns Leonard should've still won by AT THE VERY LEAST 5 points had the fight not been unfairly stopped. I personally would've had him winning by 10 (10 to Leonard with two 10-8 rounds, 2 to Benitez, 3 even), 148-138.

a left to the belly that hurt him that hurt leonard......ty for reminding me what a stupid twat cossell was
Its hard to posit that Leonard was under rated. But the variety of fighting styles he mastered,the superb conditioning he had to sustain,the strength of the punches he fought through,the longevity of his career,all speak to legendary greatness. People are too easy to dismiss Leonard because of his looks and popularity. He was such a brilliant tactical fighter,using different styles against Benitez,Hagler,Hearns,and Duran. His intelligence and conditioning,I think,were what made him great.

@ChillPill365 No doubt. But like with Jordan,its easy to not give people of that caliber the credit they deserve for crafting their art so well as to make it look effortless. Similar thing with Ali. No one really credits him with the phenomenal stamina and conditioning and mental toughness he had to have to defeat Forman. People just hype the "rope-a dope". He made it look that easy.
