Floyd Mayweather vs. Sugar Ray Leonard

That's the only way to put it.

 

Arguello beats Mayweather at 130lb over 15.

I don't see him going the distance with Robinson, Hearns, or Leonard at a 147lb.

 

no on stops pbf:nono, the only guy on dat list with a slight chance is hearns seeing that he is probably pbfs worst style matchup head to head.

 

Robinson, Leonard, and Hearns were all heavy hitters at 147, and have enough speed and talent to be able to land on Mayweather with enough regularity to force a stoppage - in my opinion. I would never say there's question marks over Mayweather's punch resistance, but I don't think he's been hit with the sort of shots at 147 that those three would undeniably land at some point or another. Floyd was once a Lightweight, after all.

He loses to all of them, but whether he see's the distance, is debtable.

 

Anybody who thinks Mayweather has a shot in this needs to watch some film. I recommend Ray Leonard vs Floyd Sr., Andy Price, Wilfred Benitez (a bigger, more skilled welterweight), Dave Green, Duran I & II, Hearns.

Leonard was a ****ing killer at Welterweight. Mayweather's best weight by far was 130. He has nothing for Leonard at 147, not even speed. Leonard could beat him in a tactical fight just as he beat Benitez. Leonard could stalk and stop Mayweather like he did Hearns. He could do Mayweather any way he wanted to. Respect to Mayweather for being one of the greatest 130 lbers ever, but he has nothing for Leonard at Welterweight.

 

your full of ****:nono ray didn't have the speed or ring smarts of floyd. flloyd is way underrated due to his brashnes:deal

 

He's not underated at all as evidenced by the fact that some clueless nuthuggers like yourself even think this is a disucssion. Speed and ring smarts? Go watch some tape of Leonard - Benitez. That's all you got? Speed and ring smarts? What about power? Killer instinct? How many guys did Mayweather almost kill? Go watch some tape of the Andy Price fight. Davey Green. Did Mayweather ever beat anybody as close to good as Hearns, Benitez, Duran? And no, Oscar don't cut it. I could give a **** about Floyd's brashness. Does anybody give a **** about Floyd's brashness? I've never heard anybody mention brashness when rating fighters. Tell somebody to give you $35 for Christmas so you can buy a Leonard career set and get a clue.

 

Ray Leonard was as fast as PBF,( actually much faster when punching in combination) Had a lot more power, had tremendous ring savvy. Basically whatever PBF could do, SRL could do them better. Now, here comes the BIG difference. Leonard came to win, and would put himself at risk to do so. His great chin was coupled with his HUGE fighting heart. At some point in this fight, a fight would break out. When it does, fight over... Leonard had tremendous finishing skills. It would take the Sugar man three rds to figure out PBF. Then you would see SRL walking back to his corner with that kinda smirk of his. meaning he had his man`s style figured out. Then he`d open up on him. I actually don`t give Mayweather much of a chance at all in this one...

 

Well you have fail right there cause last time i check DLH has a win over Quartey check boxerec in case you didn't saw that fight oh and once agian you fail not in all fight's has DLH faded in that fight with Ike going to the 12 round it was real close or at least Ike was ahead by one point and DLH knock he's ass out with a big left hook and then beat his ass out agianst the rope's:good

And in another fight Dlh knock down Javier Castillejo in the 12 and won that round big...oh yeah i forgot he also stop Vargas in the 11 round and then beat him up agianst the ropes almost like he did to IKE in there fight so he didn't faded in all of his fight's.

 

Leonard all the way

 

never say never

 

let's compare:
Both are 5'9''. Both great speed, stamina, defense, chins, jabbers. that's where it ends. Powerwise, this isn't even a close one. Floyd could barely ko a very good 5'6'' 140lber who went to 147lbs and fights face first in hatton. Leonard easily was as fast or faster than floyd and has dropped and ktfo guys all the way to lightheavyweight. please, the only way floyd might beat him is if they fought each other on a ps3. floyd gives him a good fight, but Ray when he's in with somebody that's outboxing him will go for the ko, like he did with hearns. in the center of the ring, if floyd tries that pop shotting on Ray, Ray's would put him on the seat of his pants. floyd has nothing to hurt ray seriously. nothing. but no shame in that, not many do

 

SRL beat Benetiz who is closest to a PBF from Ray's WW days.

Duran beat SRL via pure raw aggression in Fight No. 1.

PBF won't be that aggressive.

So it turns into a boxing match, unless Ray tries to k.o. PBF.

At 15 rds, going with Ray by decision.
