Personally my favourite fighter of all time. Due to all the Pac winning titles in 7 weight classes talk i thought about tommy and his fantastic weight jumping and career and wondered what the highest is you could rank him.

Wins of Duran,Hill,Andries,Benitez,Cuevas

Disputed Draw with Leonard and a close as they come fight before the stoppage.

So if you were feeling generous what is the highest you could rank him and what other company does he keep around him

First boxer ever to win 4 world titles in 4 weight classes
First boxer to win a welterweight world title and then win a super middleweight world title
First boxer to win a welterweight world title and then win a light-heavyweight world title
First boxer to win a welterweight world title and then win a cruiserweight world title
First ever winner of the WBO World Super Middleweight Title

I think he was pretty revolutionary

If Thomas Hearns wasn't campaigning in the same era as Leonard, he'd be looked upon even more fondly than he is. He's a nightmare for any Welterweight in history to fight, and the man would probably win titles all the way up at Heavyweight today. The last statement sounding pretty ambitious, but what if he challenged the likes of John Ruiz? I could envision Hearns winning that, and say if he won titles from Welterweight to Heavyweight, his P4P ranking would be sufficiently better than it is.
