    Which of the following fights would you rather see at 147? and why?

    For me a match between Leonard and Mosley would have been a dream match. Speed, power. No telling who'd come out on top.

    Robinson vs Leonard would be a fight for the ages.

    I'd love to have seen Mosley vs. Leonard. Personally I think SRR beats them both without it being ridiculously competitive. Too sharp a puncher.

    I just can't see SRL not being competitive with ANYone. If God could make the weight, SRL could give him problems.

    Agreed; Robinson would have beaten both Sugars and anyone else in front of him. He was just too talented a fighter. It would not be competitive at all trust me. Now I would like to have seen Mosley versus Leonard; which I think Leonard would have beaten him.

    Robinson vs. Leonard obviously. Both those guys play speed bag with Shane Mosley's head.

    Dude Leonard was not even competitive with the first Hearns fight until he landed a hard punch in the 6th round. If Tommy had a better chin it would have been so easy for him. For example, if Tommy Hearns had a Roberto Duran chin with his same skills, size, power, speed and athleticism it would have been an easy fight for him.
    The second Hearns fight was when Tommy won but the refs called it a draw.

    SRR v SRL is the only one that matters. But even Leonard said SRR would kick his ass. SRR was a bad, bad man. :smoke

    Robinson-Leonard of course. These two Sugars had awesome skills, unlimited balls, and some really great opponents. The experience and skill factor would be through the roof, and these were two guys who could hurt an opponent with one punch and were both savage finishers.It would be a great fight. I'd give the edge to Robinson, but not by much.

    Robinson > Leonard >>> Mosely

    Robinson v Leonard is a fight for best WW of all time, they would both beat Mosely & I think Robinson beats Leonard on pts but if any WW could beat SRR its likely SRL.

    Robinson v Leonard is the obvious choice here.
