GSP Looking Classy Next to Boxing Legend

I agree I don't even think it was debatable.

Sugar Ray being Sugar Ray lol,...his rules,...everything he wanted Hagler had to give in...like a way larger ring so that Leonard can run and dance,...no way he wanted a small ring because Hagler would of just whopped his ass,...larger gloves,...Leonard didn't want to get brutalized with those small ones,...because of course Hagler hit like a mule.

Kind of like Mayweather,...who gets his way for every fight,...even the referee lol.
 
Dude I met GSP a couple days ago.

He’s bigger than I thought he’d be. Crazy that ray Leonard looks that big next to him.

He’s kinda socially awkward looking.
 
First boxing match I ever saw was Leonard-Duran I. What an introduction to the sport that was. Sure got me hooked.
One of mine was aaron pryor vs arguello. Still think pryor is one of the most underrated fighters.
 
Anyone else think this UFC cutman (middle man) looks like a younger version of sugar ray?

Gives you an idea of how big a guy like SRL was at welterweight (boxing welterweight, 147). He looks every bit as big as GSP here.

Then you think, Tommy Hearns was over 6' tall and fought SRL at welterweight. That was just a terrifying division at the time.

You know, I feel like the great boxers of that time had the most craziest cardio ever compared to todays fighters. Those guys used the methods I believe todays fighters lack. Those guys did lots of roadwork, jump rope, and military style plyos, just straight hard work w/o all the fancy schmancy training seen today with gassing fighters.
 
Two of the greatest combat sports athletes in history
Dont know about that, personally I'd put Aleksandr Karelin above both of them when it comes to combat sports-specific accomplishments and athleticism.
 
always liked tommy the best, but sugar ray was cool too. cant hate on him
 
SRL finally not looking 30 for 30 years.
 


Sorry...neither of these guys is what a "fighting legend" looks like in 2018.

-Shirt not 2 sizes too small
-Pants not capri length skinny-slacks
-No sockless boat-shoes
-No swaggerjacked tattoos
-No douchebag faux confidence

Now this...this is what the kids like these days!

This is a real man! <45>
 
GSP looks like he's 3 minutes away from pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
