    Pac and Floyd are a bit too small. I think PBF may cause a few problems with his defensive wizardry and his pot-shotting, but Leonard would outwork him.

    At 130, Pac destroys Leonard.

    It would be much worse at 126 or 112 or at 108.

    But at welterweight? Come on!!!! Pac does not have the build of welterweight. Gayweather would probably be closer to welter than Pac.

    If you start a fantasy thread, you have to specify the weight division!!!!

    It is bit unfair to be pitting a fighter who is at best light wleterweight against a fighter who went up as high as supermiddleweight and (actually won a light heavyweight crown at supermiddleweight).

    Arum disagrees he said PBF was better than SRL or Duran, his words not mine.

    Duran didnt really beat SRL because Leanard went into the fight to stand toe to toe with the man regarded as the toughest in the world at the time. He did this to shut the critics up because they had him down as a pitipat fancy Dan with no substance and little appetite for a brawl.

    In the rematch, having proved how tough he was in the first fight, SRL set about showing all concerned what a truly great boxer he was. He beat Duran by such a margin that not only did Roberto quit but Leonard rendered the result of the first fight irrelevant.

    SRL would be too fast, too tough, too powerfull and too complete for either but especially for FMJ.

    He beats them both but he by no means does he have an 'easy' night with either of them.

    SRL in my opinion, is the best fighter of the last 30 years, but he would UD Floyd and stop Pac between 5-7. No way does he 'destroy' either of them though.
