    How would he do at 147, 154 and 160

    And judge him against the best version of current fighters please, not 38 year old Floyd and 36 year old Pac, 34 year old Cotto.

    He destroys everybody.

    GGG and his size could be a problem though but that's it.

    He'd be avoided like hell.

    He'd beat Floyd.

    No one apart from GGG would be a threat. And I'd favor him in that match to win on points.

    Basically no one beats him. Also I'd back him to beat anyone at 168 including Ward.

    He was the greatest Welter of his time in a Welter-Weight Division that was one of the best of all time.

    He'd dominate 147, 154 and 160 today.

    Unifies 147 to 160 if the top guys fight him but i suspect they avoid him like the plague. At 168 i think he could win the title but u just feel smw are a little too big for him to completely dominate

    Best fighter I've seen in my lifetime. He'd beat everyone at 147-154 easily, including Floyd. GGG would take him to a close decision, but lose.

    He'd dominate welter and jr middleweight but play second fiddle to GGG at MW

    Any decent fighter from that era would dominate the current era, same with the 90s guys like Oscar, Trinidad, Mosley etc. This current era is pathetic minus Crawford, Walters, GGG, Kov a very few others.

    He'd clearly dominate welter and light middle and very likely middleweight as well. Golovkin is good but he's not fought anyone half as good as Leonard, not sure how he'd cope with the speed. Leonard always had a great chin as well so likely wins on points.
