    Leonard himself has already stated Mayweather would be too small to deal with him or Tommy Hearns. How does the Forum feel Mayweather, one of the most intelligent Fighters in History, will do against Leonard.:bbb:bbb

    At 147? watch benitez-leonard and you have the answer, except by an even wider decision.

    Leonard's activity, size, speed, and movement would win him a decision.

    Dumb question but i'll answer it anyway,Leonard by late KO after a one sided beating.this is a mismatch.

    Mayweather wins on points. He has the smarts and timing to really confuse Leonard.

    I think its credible because again I feel Mayweather is the smarter fighter. no way he would've been baited into a war with Duran the way Leonard was.

    Leonard UD.

    If I had to put money on one boxer in history to cause Mayweather all sorts of problems, and beat him...it would be Leonard.

    mayweather has never ever ever been in the ring with a fighter near Duran's caliber. Terrible terrible comparison. The pressure, buildup, and psychological warfare of Leonard-Duran I is on another level than any fight floyd has ever taken.

    I would say he's a better counterpuncher by a bit.

    Mayweather couldn't win a round unless Leonard just stopped fighting and gifted it to him. I'm not sure even then Mayweather could win a round. He literally does nothing as good as Leonard and is much smaller.

    Forget about him not being baited into a war with Duran he wouldnt even be baited to fight him in the first place,damn what a long vacation that would be.

    I predict Mayweather would have ducked Leonard fought Salvador Sanchez instead.
