    I'd favor (Sugar Ray) Leonard by decision.

    I know who Benny Leonard was,but I'll have to read up a bit more about him before I give my opinion about this one. Back to you on it.

    Some strong words being used here.

    Considering Ray lost his title to a lightweight. Also considering that Benny was just as slick as Benitez this is unlikely to be a blow out.

    Of course I'd expect ray to win as the bigger of the two greats but a little perspective here.

    The footage of Benny does not paint him as you do.

    Is Benny allow to tie up SRL, and spin his way around him?? Plus other 1920's boxer tactics.

    Gloves size should be taking in to accout also imo.

    Is there a NC rule????

    Benny is made to measure for Ray assuming Ray isnt drained. A smaller counter puncher is made to measure for a speedy stick and move combination puncher as good as Ray. Similar to the Benitez fight, which I thought Ray dominated but Benny is smaller than Benitez.
