Sugar Ray Leonard circa 1986 v Floyd Mayweather 2007

In this case, Leonard lacked the discipline and skillset of Mayweather and Hopkins to have great longevity.

Leonard in 86 was already slipping.

 

Sugar Ray Leonard was thirty years old when he beat Marvin Hagler. Do you think a thirty year old Mayweather could beat Marvin Hagler?

 

It’s in the realm of possibility. He wouldn’t run and shoe shine in order to get a crappy decision either.

 

he fought zab and Shane both were speedy and good at range both beat he had trouble with zab

 

facts legend

 

doesnt matter has nothing to do with style or skills

 

he would I agree

 

he keeps it real he is a legend he doesnt need help with the truth you do

 

So the fighter who fights the longest is the best?

 

why is it nobody here is saying how when floyd was at his best he was the fanciest defensive fighter ever in the small weights which no ver of sugar ever showed or when floyd was at his old age who mastered the philly style and made mutiple people look like rookies

sugar never have made 95% of the people he fought look like rookies he was great but he is no floyd

 

Yep. He was better. H2H & P4P.

 

I’d think in a comparison of two fighters, the one who stays at the top of the sport and remains undefeated for over a decade and a half is probably more worthy of praise than the guy with a few years on top.

 

no he wasnt floyd has lots of people he made look like rookies

 

I dont argee that can say the comp was trash same reason Louis lasted so long trash he was facing and he gets respect for it

 

Name one fighter that Floyd fought that was like or as good as Leonard?
