    No. He beats them all. Leonard fought brilliantly that night. I reckon prime Mosley has the best chance.

    Leonard would beat them all but I'd give SSM the best chance of winning, followed by Tito.

    All correct:good

    & Leonard duffs up all 4:yep

    In a 15 rounder i see Shane getting TKO/KO'd late, Shane's fast & he'll do well early on but he'll be shipping some hurt from Leonard who'll take ring centre midway & break Mosley up. Shane comes in straight, not enough guile to his game as Roberto possessed in abundance. SRL is STRONG & he'll have Shane battered onto the back foot & outer there.

    Tito, ye never know, he may be able to deck SRL who was'nt the hardest to hit, but it's another war of attrition with Tito getting sparked around 10

    DLH; He's tailor-made for Leonard, he'll let oscar take ring centre & keep him there, it'll look like indians surrounding the wagon train. Oscars iron chinned & hell need it, he has'nt the skills to trap leonard, I see Leonard letting go a barrage like the one he unloaded onto Tommy in the 13th & getting the TKO. Oscar has'nt the foorwork to be able to manover SRL into the kill-zone.

    Margo; Now this is the one ****er that couldt put some hurt on Ray unlikely as it seems seeing he's the less skilled of the 4 overall. The Cintron versions will have some success especially as the fight goes late as SRL is going to resort to form & stand & trade. This going to be a tough night for leonard but he'll win by near on shutout & announce his retirement straight after:yep

    Agree with that, Mosley is pretty good in a brawl and was a brutal body puncher but Leonard is throwing the straighter punches so they should get their first to win the exchanges

    Tito/DLH they aren't beating. And Margarito :scaredas: OP surely you jest

    Good old times when Margarito was actually highly regarded. I knew the bubble was going to burst soon enough for a boxer who fought with his face though.

    I Feel as though mosley may have the best chance but it depends on Ray's gameplan

    Of the four, Teeto is the only guy who would purposely hit SRL in the balls.

    Since this is SRL of the Duran fight.....Dundee would not be able to motivate a ball-less SRL, and Teeto wins by a Leonard "retirement" in the 14th rd.
