    i think lil floyd get spanked like his dad, i do not think the fight would be competitive. leonnard would simply impose his will on floyd, leonnard is just too big and too powerful for floyd leonard would land the crisper harder shots, his athleticism and speed would confuse floyd, floyd took time to adjust to judah's speed but prime leonnard does all of that and more.
    floyd would be out of his depth in this fight
    wilfredo benitez was beaten down by leonnard and he was 1 of the best defensive fighters in the entire sport, i doubt floyd could do much better.

    Floyd is an ATG who began his career at 130. SRL is an ATG who began his career at 147.

    srl wins this one, he is one of the most complete boxers ever and a beast at 147.

    Floyd has the skills and the ring smarts to hold his own, and even win, but SRL is probably just simply too big, but it would be entertaining fight.

    2 prime fighters in 2 different eras. Leonard was naturally bigger. As good as Leonard was, he was outboxed by Hearns who is not in the same league as Floyd. Floyd is the better boxer and is much more stronger than some people want to admit here. The conditioning is a big factor and in this department i go with Floyd. A very good fight that anyone can win. Nobody has the answers because they never fought. But reading the stupid post of haters who said that leonard will mop the floor with mayweather is stupid. Leonard has all type of problems with Benitez and Benitez was cut in the same first round and was bleeding and weakening all fight. Floyd a super natural athlete as it was Leonard and Michael Jordan. Lets not forget that Floyd is a superb close quater fighter, that is almost impossible to hit in the inside fight. Floyd is marvelous period. A fighter that is as good as boxing and as good toe to toe in the pocket and as good in the inside fight is very difficult to beat. Floyd beat Leonard in the inside, in the middle distance is a close call with Floyd counter punching. But fighting at the distance Leonard is better than him. Everyone of them has an advantage and one is a draw. It could be the fight of the millenium and they can share some wins between them. Nobody knows for sure, but still a dream fight.

    SRL in his prime at 147 spanks every WW now in the same night. Okay I'm overexaggerating that a bit but not by much. SRL would put a beating on anyone now in his prime. Floyd's defense has never been tested against someone with a jab like Leonard and an offensively-skilled fighter like SRL. Floyd gets his ass kicked. He would not do better than Benitez.

    And Leonard is greater and hits harder and faced better people and so on and so forth.

    Floyd is an ATG but not in the same category as Leonard--several below.

    and for the record, Floyd doesn't go 10, 12, or 15 with Leonard. KO7

    Leonard would land a flurry, hit Floyd hard three times, miss a few, Floyd would be proud that he made Leonard miss and in the process get hit a few times more and roll off a few more shots--repeat until the KO.

    SRL was a beast at 147 and started his career there. Mayweather started at 130.

    Leonard takes it.

    :lol:According to dumb fanboy logic I suppose. As much flack as Hearns gets for his lack of durability, he still went 12 rounds with Barkley and is one of the greatest boxer/punchers of all time. The only guys more efficient than him are probably Ezzard Charles & Joe Louis.
