Agree or Disagree: Sugar Ray Leonard's biggest wins are overrated?

i absolutely disagree! leonard did something that few fighters today have done. he stopped 2 undefeated hall of famers at their peak, in hearns and benitez! those are the two fights i look at that cement his greatness. and if you recall, there are some who believe ray did enough to beat duran in their first fight. had he boxed as he should have, he would have won a decision. as far as the rematch, no one told duran to party for months after the first fight! that's his own fault. as for the hagler fight, leonard got into marvin's head, yes, but if marvin was an all time great middleweight, (and we know that if he was 33 maybe 34 or 35 years old, well, that's not even old today) why did he let a washed up, inactive fighter with a bad eye who had been dropped by kevin howard decision him? keep in mind there were people calling for the sport to be banned if leonard-hagler got signed!
