    Yeah, in plenty of ways too.

    Leonard had more strings to his bow than Mayweather and those extra dimensions would make the difference.

    The really interesting matchup for me is Benitez v Mayweather - two defensive geniuses who had success at lower weights. I think that's a pick 'em fight.

    Leonard was worse than Mayweather across the board. Get acquainted with Mayweather’s fights at 130 if you don’t believe.

    Aside from Duran specifically on the front front, none of those guys had anything on Mayweather in terms of skill. Especially not Leonard which is why he aged like milk.

    facts legend neck none at all was close to skill of floyd who sugar fought I said that to the one dude
    and dont know why that weird quote of sugar was big works at

    sugar never used his size as to bully so makes it odd to say his size would matter in the match

    +Canelo was bigger and stronger than Leonard but failed to impose his huge weight advantage. Meanwhile 168 and 175 fighters get walked down by him.

    Imagine thinking that the 2013 version of Canelo is in any way comparable to prime SRL.

    Even today's Canelo isn't fit to lace Prime SRL's boots.

    Let's see.

    Leonard had more power, was a better combination puncher and could easily jab with Mayweather.

    Take off the blinkers please.

    He’d handle Leonard at 168. That’s for sure.

    Best case scenario is that you’d cry robbery after Leonard lost a decision via track meet and shoe shine.

    PFP he had less power.

    His combos were easier to counter than Floyd’s and often contained fluff.

    His jab was worse and less precise than Mayweather’s, even at 147. Direct me to his solar plexus jabs.

    You really are stupid.

    Canelo isn't anything special. He's not in the same league as Mayweather, let alone SRL. Best case scenario for you is that Prime SRL would win a competitive decision over your hero.

    No.

    No.

    Arguable.

    SRL was also better on the inside.

    Do you believe that Mayweather created the milky way?

    You seem really agitated I suggest not riding your childhood idol’s jockstrap.

    After all, he was merely a fake, cocaine and alcohol addled prima donna who couldn’t care less about you.

    Yes, SRL was all of those things.

    I don't worship him. I don't even like him as a person.

    You with Mayweather on the other hand........

    No, I don’t like Mayweather as a person. I just recognize what I was seeing.
