Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Welterweight. PRIME FOR PRIME. SRL was stronger, yet
both had flashy style and speed, and both threw the
bolo punch haha. Ive seen way more footage of SRL.
Both were agressive, The cuban Hawk took on SRR
twice, and had many more fights than Ray Leonard.
Classic Opinion?

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

I like Gavilan by decision in a tough, fast, classy fight.

The Kid can match Ray Leonard`s speed and keep him off balance with his awkward punching angles and workrate. Leonard could punch maybe slightly better but I think Gavlian hit better than he is given credit for.

Both guys take a helluva punch so I see this as a distance fight everytime.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Very tight distance fight. I give the edge to Leonard because of his ability to switch gameplans very quickly. Very like Ali in that way.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Gavilan by razor-thin decision, as his skills edge those of Leonard's.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

A Draw.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Gavilan by split decision...very close...

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

It's like a plague.

Not a bad one, but still.





Judges probably take Leonard in a virtually dead even fight.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

I got Leonard by a bee's dick..one of the most intriguing matches at the weight for sure.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

I will take Gavilan by a gnat's cunt hair, while we are on the topic.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Now that would have been the one and only time that SRL Leonards gets straight beat the fuck up and waisted early. 2 maybe 3 rounds ill give Ray..But Kid woulda just been to much for him and thers no way even with Leonards speed and movement, he would not be abe to keep Gavilan off him.

Just out of curiosity, do you try to act like an idiot or does it just come natural???

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

Cmon man you aint gotta do that..Disagree with me all you want and we'll talk about, but your gonna be an ignorant fool then stay off my threads, I got no beef with you Philly..But you can handle shit a little differently than talkin to me like that my man.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

1st This aint yo thread

2nd I aint yo man

3rd just answer the damn question!

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

No..I dont try to act like an idiot.

Re: Kid Gavilan vs Sugar Ray Leonard
 

This is how I have it. Gavilan was a great in his own right. It was only Sugar Ray Robinson's existence preventing him from becoming dominant at welterweight for quite a number of years. Nonetheless,on the night that Leonard beat Thomas Hearns,in their first fight,Robinson would have been the only one at that weight I would bank on beating him,with a sufficient degree of certainty.
