    Ward, and it wouldn't be particularly difficult

    I think he would win but I think Ray would be a little pesky here. Hearns hit Ray all over and Tommy was still good enough two years later to beat Virgil Hill. Hearns would be much tougher for Ward at 168 and Ray. Ray was a little too small for that weight, but he thought he was a brawler. I think Ward wins a decision but this fight would be closer for Ray than Norris since at this weight I think Ray would be surprisingly more confident than at the lower weights against Norris and later Camacho. Against Hector. I don't really think much about. That was a dumb fight for Ray to take after years of not fighting and never winning in the 1990s. Who did he think he was.

    168 is too much for Leonard. I actually feel 160 was also. 154 was Leanards ceiling in my book if were talking about a very effective version and not a cherry picker. Leonard was still at his best at 147 by far. His natural fighting weight.
