Leonard hand was faster. He threw combinations at a blazing speed, while Mayweather's reflexes are faster.
Where did I say he was invincible. I just said he'd be at a stylistic disadvantage against a fighter like Mosley. A fighter like Leonard would also be a big stylistic disadvantage for Floyd. But Floyd getting blown out of the water? Please.
Let's put it this way Floyd won a SD against a old faded DLH... no way he will beat a prime DLH at 147 or 154 but for you NOBODY beat's Floyd so why bother.
Please my ass. Even a slighlty past his best fighter like Judah was able to outbox and give Mayweather problems for about half the fight, and Judah isn't as good as a prime Leonard or a prime Mosley, etc. Face it man, Floyd at welter doesn't have the punch output and his feet aren't fast enough to keep up with some of the best welterweights in history, and he would be outboxed and lose wide UD's to the best movers and maybe be KOed by the best punchers at that weight.
Lets put it this way, if you scored the fight a SD for De La Hoya, you dont know **** about boxing or how to score a fight. :good Oh and I believe I said Mosley would beat Floyd. Leonard too. But he is the greatest of my generation, and he'd be competitive with any welter in history. Maybe with the exception of Hearns. I know your hatred of Mayweather is hurting your reading comprehension but atleast try.
Look's that you are the one who doesn't know **** about boxing if you think Floyd will beat a PRIME DLH AT 147 OR 154 :-(
Zab won 3 rounds against Floyd. :rofl Half the fight. :rofl What a moron. :rofl Floyd has the best defense probably in boxing history. Atleast from a technical standpoint. Floyd can employ clever footwork when he has to backed up by a devastating jab as showcased against Hatton and De La Hoya, but he rarely has to because his defense is so sound, him beng a counterpuncher he banks off other fighters making mistakes. Even at lower weights, he was never much of a dancer. More simply using angles to keep his opponent off balance to set up right hand leads and leaping left hooks. Nobody outboxes Floyd. Floyd would lose to some welters like Hearns, Leonard and Robinson because of the size advantage. Not on boxing ability which Floyd can match easily.
Oscar lost to Ike Quartey. Ike Quartey. Nuff said really. Oscars stamina has never been up to snuff. Against an operater like Floyd he would lose because regardless at what stage in his career, he always faded down the stretch. As to why Floyd won the last 4-5 rounds of their fight. Oscar faded. Which again, he has done his whole career. Show me your scorecard if you honestly believe Oscar deserved a split. And I'll be sure to educate you on how to properly score a fight.
What a joke. SRL is by far the better boxer. Look at Mayweathers 147lbs fights...DLH, Judah, Baldomir, Hatton and Mitchell. Hatton was his only impressive win here. Floyd is not an ATG welterweight. He is vastly overrated. SRL has explosive power and actually throws combinations. He had an adaptable style and would work PBF out easy at 147 I think.
