    Calzaghe easily.

    Physically bigger, better chin, higher workrate.

    Clowns Leonard for twelve rounds.

    168-calzaghe...but if the fight is forced dow to 160 (remember SRL was really his best at 147) then I think Ray edges him

    Calzaghe would win this. He is a natural super middleweight, not to mention Sugar Ray Leonard was not at his prime at 168 lbs. Let's not forget, Ray never even weighed a full 168 lbs. Having said that, I don't think it would be easy. Calzaghe by a 12 round, clear but somewhat close decision.

    I think if this fight happens it should happen at 160 where both men would not be at their best. if that is the case SRL all day everyday. TBH, this is really a dumb fantasy match-up why would you pick a WW versus a SMW?

    too big a weight advantage for Calzgahe its pointless. Its like putting Hagler in with Vitali Klitman.

    but a more equal catchweight or at MW, on more equal terms, Leonard would wreck Calzaghes face, the difference in skill speed strength, **** everything would be too much.

    Calzaghe just too big, Leonard was out of his depth beyond 160

    Speed= same, Movement = Leanoard, Power comes down to slap shots v power shots. Leanord by ko

    wellll Hagler could have beaten Ruiz and co to take some shitty version of the HW title, but I dont see how he could beat anything at HOF or above in HW.

    Obviously if they fought at welter or light middle, anything above that is too much for Leonard

    These two are very strong H2H..

    But Calzaghe is a real 168er while SRL is not at all.

    So Calzaghe.

    P4P Ray was arguably the better fighter, but at 168 he would be too fat to get in the ring
