SRL would have beat Floyd opposition easy. Floyd has never fought amyone remotely close to as good as SRL so its hard to tell how he would to against a real great fighter on his game. Stylistically Leonard would outpoint Floyd though and basically outhustle and outmuscle him
SRL didn't decision most of his best wins, although two of the more important ones (and at 147) were 15-round fights. Benitez TKO Duran TKO (and it's absolutely deserved) Hearns TKO Kalule (154) TKO Lalonde (168 ) TKO Pitter-Patter stigma comes primarily from the Hagler fight and that alone, which is quite unfair. He beat Marvin the only way he possibly could. MMH was one of the toughest sons of bitches in boxing history with 2JZ cast iron for a chin.
did you really have to make a thread about this no brainer, we all know that floyd wins all fantasy match-ups
SRL is overrated. Floyed speed and defense would hurt SRL. SRL loves to stationary targets. like Waldo
It's not like Floyd had the opportunity to fight a fighter as good as Sugar Ray. The only guaranteed HOF that Floyd could have fought is Tszyu (wouldn't have been in his prime) and Manny. Not alot of ATG in his weight classes.
That's right,he only beat the three best fighters of his generation. Floyd's beat at least...eh...how many? I like Floyd but your theory is completely without foundation.atsch
I am a floyd supporter and a pac hater (check my posts if you will)...but i am also a rational man at the same time. SRL will humiliate Floyd prime to prime. Floyd gets stopped in mid rounds.
