    Very little chance of Mayweather actually beating SRL.

    SRL was a level above overall.

    So what? Floyd could go the distance. He stands no chance of winning.

    In a 15 rounder, I would say Ray has a realistic chance. Anyway, one way or the other, Ray will beat Floyd up, whether it by decision or late round stoppage.

    Agreed. But Leonard still beats him convincingly.

    Although a boring runner, FMJ could do what's needed to win.

    Yes, ODH's jab was better. You can throw far better and harder jabs with your "good" hand

    And this is why Mayweather's is so overrated.

    It's fairly easy to appear as a defensive genius and king of adjustments when you are boxing the likes of Maidana, Corrales, and aging versions of ODH and Pac.

    We would view Mayweather's talent more realistically had he boxed in a different era.

    Your becoming very annoying with your Mr. I know everything attitude. Maybe try dialing it back a bit.

    I know. I used to hate Mayweather with a passion, but can't deny how good the ******* is.

    I don't know everything, but given that nobody has even come close to doing that to Mayweather, what makes you think SRL can do it ?
