    Who was the real GOAL? (Greatest of all Leonards)

    I think Ray may have been better because he had more all-around talent, but Benny was possibly greater because of a more extensive career and more big wins over quality opposition.

    Benny was quite a bit greater IMO, but Leonard looks miles and miles better on film.

    Is there anything of Benny Leonard beyond the 20 odd minutes of the Tendler fight?

    There's footage of him against McLarnin, although that was past his prime.
