    Leonard, and pretty easily too.

    I'm wanting to say Pacquiao has a chance if he lands some devastating combo, but I just can't envisage it getting close to that point.

    Leonard and easy.

    Manny accomplished a lot but todays welter division is not even the best in the last 10 years, theyre not in the same league as SRL.

    Duran may have beat Leonard when leonard fought his fight but even then duran is still a bigger guy than pac who went the distance with hagler and topped out at 168 in his weight jumping.


    SRL has reach, speed, great combinations, movement, a solid chin and stamina. That is pretty much what you want in your ideal fighter stylewise for Pac.

    Sugar Leonard can even outbrawl him to win if they were the same size.

    emmanuel will say he didn't get enough sleep the last night after Sugar Leonard TKOs him.

    Absolutely. Pacquiao could possibly get lucky against Hearns if he somehow managed to reach that chin though.

    Leonard was an all time great. But PacMan is a freak. Body size would be on Leonard side. But I have a feeling PacMan might edge him out.

    yeah right, at 135 Ray was a full fledged welter weight, I doubt Aron would have been able to cary his work rate and punching power to welter weight and beat one the most explosive puncher at welter at the time. Aron would have been flatten..

    Leonard would beat Pacquiao pretty comfortably & likely by TKO.

    You have obviously never seen Sugar Ray fight...

    If Hearns, Duran (he won the first and got outclassed the 2nd) and Hagler couldnt beat a prime Leonard how the **** do you think Pacman could, are you on crack :patsch

    Some people picking Pacquiao, thats the wrong pick.

    Pac is not on Leonard`s level.
