    Both Floyd and Pacquiao wouldn't be able to compete with Leonard, but there's no shame in that, this guy was just too ****ing good at that weight.

    A legend. Whenever Leonard smelled blood things got nasty.

    i love ray leonard, he was one of the most complete boxers ever. he had all the skills in the world but he was a gutsy little ****er when he needed to dig in and when he had a man on the hook he was a brilliant finisher.

    saying all that though, anyone who thinks that manny and floyd wouldn't be able to compete with ray are sadly mistaken. i would back ray to beat them but styles make fights and they would both give ray a great fight for different reasons.

    agree that it would be competitive fights. style-wise, i'd give manny a better chance than floyd at being more competitive with leonard. in the end, leonard would still win.

    Yeah Ray would beat Floyd... but he would **** down Pacs neck. Pac would get ****ed up by ALL of the top welters of the 80s period. Even with roids.

    Bump. According to some posters Leonard was still "green" when he nearly murdered Green.
    Mental ******ation is a sad thing.

    Leonard's left hook is an underrated great punch IMO. He's not often mentioned when people talk about left hooks and I thought his left hook was great.

    That knockout of Dave Boy Green who i was a fan of back then was destructive to saythe least.I knew he had little chance.It was probably worse than Hattons obliteration by Pacquiao.

    I know I'm a fan to MANY fighters but I have been a fan of Leonard's for years even before I knew what a straight punch was. In his prime he was extraordinary and such a treat to watch. Before prime RJJ, there was SRL.
