    Ray never really stabilized at this weight...just several fights there.

    However, Tito was a monster at that weight.

    I give Tito a real shot to TKO Leonard within 6 rounds.

    I cant see Tito with a shot in this to be honest. Ray took all Hearns could give and stood up to it and there is no way Tito is going to out box him. Hearns at 147 still whacked as hard as Tito at 154 in my opinion and had the boxing skill to give him the opportunities to do so

    Whatever you're smoking, dont ever smoke again!

    Leonard would embarass Tito at ANY weight.

    I can't forget how "Phillip Norris" put the Sugarman on the canvas several times, and how the Hitman virtually closed his eye and gave him a detached retina.

    Ray was best at welterweight.....above that he picked and chose his opponents....with of course Ray getting all the benefits.

    Oscar DH learned well from him, until the recent "A Bridge Too Far" .

    LMAO! You obviously aint that bright.

    Norris fought Leonard when he was DONE! Leonard had been retired and came back to fight Norris as an old man.

    And Hearns shut Leonard's eye at 147, and hate to break it to ya but... Tito was NO Tommy Hearns.

    Leonard actually gave one of his best performances at 154 against Ayub Kaule.. and Kaule was a very good fighter.

    A prime Leonard coulda carried 154 just fine. And he woulda whupped Tito at that weight, and best believe he'd have beaten any 154 pounder of today.

    Its COMICAL that you think Tito would knock out Ray ****in Leonard within 6 when he couldnt even stop David Reid, and Vargas lasted til the 12th.:yep

    Hell even Oba Carr lasted til the 8th with Tito.:yep

    Your outta your mind period. Leonard would have owned Tito no ifs, ands, or buts.

    Ray would win this, quite possibly by stoppage. Tito would have his moments tho, he's a top fighter with some good assets. He has to be respected.

    If by having moments you mean losing every round, then I agree.

    Tito couldnt even cope with Oscar's speed and movement. I shutter to think what Leonard's speed and movement woulda done to him.

    Don't get carried away mate. Far lesser fighters than Tito won rounds off Leonard so lets find some balance here. Tito's power would find Ray respectful, especially early, and i am sure he would win a round or two under those circumstances.

    Tito isn't that bad at all.

    Leonard beats Trinidad at any weight IMO.

    Ray could outbox or even outfight Tito, he can beat him whichever way he likes, the difference in their chins would be just as decisive as the difference in their boxing skills.

    Leonard TKO 11 Trinidad

    No way in hell Tito KO Leonard. Even at welterweight where Tito was a monster... Leonard was arguably the most complete fighter ever at that very same weight class.
    Leonard would probably school Trinidad to a one sided decision.

    Trinidad doesn't have the footwork to deal with the guy. Leonard would turn him and 1-2 him to death.

    I've never rated Trinidad very highly, and to say he beats Leonard in 6 rounds is laughable. Sugar Ray to stop him in ten.
