    p4p its debatable,

    Prime Mayweather was 130lbs whereas prime Leonard is 147lbs


    What isnt debatable is Leanard Hearns and Mayweather are all a completely diffrent calibre to Pac (who is very good but a huge product of the media hype train)

    I dont disagree with Leonard, although you do have the arguement that both Floyd and Pacquiao began their respective careers at far lower weights than both Sugar Ray and Hearns did, they are by nature smaller fighters so losing against those greats from a different era would bring no shame in my opinion, correct me if im wrong but Sugar Ray went as high as Super middleweight and Hearns finished his career near the modern day cruiser limit, just a bit of perspective.

    PS: Anyone reading Leonards book right now, good read!

    I think both Hearns and Leonard prevail over both Floyd and Pac.

    For Leonard, I see a points win over the technically more proficient Floyd, and I see him get a comfortable points win over Pac.

    A stoppage is a distinct possibility in either case, but I think it's more likely that both bouts go the distance.



    Footnote. The above refers to prime Leonard.

    If either of current Pac or Floyd were to face a Leonard of exactly the same age, I see Leonard losing to both.

    I can't even be arsed to read this tripe! Floyd beats Hearns:patsch Crack cocaine must be one hell of a drug!

    Floyd has 9 gazillion world titles:patsch

    So do Holly Holm, Mary Jo Sanders, and Christy Martin. In fact, Holm has probably held more world titles than Mayweather or Pac. Big ****ing deal:patsch

    Well. We will never find out, because Mayweather is too scared to fight him.

    I dont think anyone who has competitively fought over 130 opponents in a boxing ring is scared of anyone

    I think politics plays a much bigger part

    I don't think he meant 'scared' of the physical ordeal of taking an ass-kicking.

    Floyd was scared of losing his '0' and all that went with that.

    Exactly.

    But, I don't understand that either. Okay, he could lose the fight. But Americans love comebacks. It isn't like he will earn less in a second fight.

    I thought SRL beat Lalonde for the LHW title. Then again, I can't remember if it was a catch weight and the bs of fighting for a vacant SMW title and the LHW title.
