    How?

    Please explain how he does it.

    Not to attack your opinion, I just don't see any way Floyd could pull this off.

    It's isn't a hater opinion. Leonard was the better all round fighter; had more power, beat better fighters, equally fast hand speed, and a superior combination puncher.

    It's comedy gold that Mayweather had the audacity to go up to someone like Ray Leonard and criticise his resume. I'm guessing Floyd forgot to say, "you also beat a Middleweight".

    speed: mayweather and SRL have equal speed

    power: SRL has more power

    defence: mayweather has the better defence

    feet movement: SRL has better movement but dosent apply it aswell as he just circles the ring where as mayweather uses it to get off the ropes out of corners etc...

    head movement: mayweather slips and dodges punches better

    so overall i see leonard circling the ring trying to get some flashy combos in near the end of the rounds but mayweather coming and out of range with his jab then leonard starts throwing his combos mayweather covers up and come back with counter right hands


    just because you underate mayweather and overrate leonard dosent mean your right

    We have become accustomed to seeing Mayweather jr try to prove his points outside the ring as opposed to in it.

    The article had nothing to do with whether I think Floyd would beat Leonard or not. It had to do with your opinion that Floyd would not get into the ring with Leonard. And how is Leonard losing to a lightweight criticism? Its true. An abnormal lightweight for sure, but a lightweight non the less.

    Sorry the P4P king of this decade didnt go up and suck your heroes dick like you'd want him to. :good

    What's worse, Excusing it as your opinion or talking out of your ass in trying to explain how?

    Oh, this gets better.

    So because Floyd harasses a 40+ year old Leonard who's been retired since the early 90s, it means that he would get in the ring with him. Your logic is fabulous.

    The only thing Mayweather and Leonard have in common is that they both lost to lightweights. Leonard lost to arguably the greatest Lightweight ever, and then avenged the defeat twice, and then Mayweather lost to Castillo. :good
