If Floyd Mayweather Jr, Roy Jones Jr, Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker were the same size who wins

If same division, then RJJ. Matching height, reach, speed, agility, reflexes. Then he has actual winning performance/result vs Hopkins and Toney. It would be boring decision wins though, with him mostly moving backwards. He already said in an interview that he would likely have a harder time with a Pacquiao than a Mayweather. Might as well include Crawford there?

 

The huge problem with the same size hypotheticals and p4p in general is because DUE to their size, bigger dudes won't have the same skillset as the smaller guys.

For instance I don't think anyone over 175 was ever as skilled as peak Rigondeax Mayweather Pernell, list goes on. So if we blew these guys up to heavy, do we assume they still possess the same reflexes and footwork? Or if we shrink some heavies, are they still going to have the same 1 punch KO power?

Still, a very good question. I'll take SRL

 

RJJ via freakish athleticism.

As @Stonehands said, its hard to scale fighters up and down in size because their physical build directly affects their skillset and how they fight. You can’t criticize a guy like Wladimir Klitschko for his lack of head movement and combination-punching, guy was 6’5 and 245 lbs, he could keep you at arm’s length halfway across the ring and crack your skull in 7 different places with a cross, why should he even bother trying to move his head or learn how to throw a 5-punch combination?

 

SRL stops them all

 

Mayweather would retire to avoid the others in this poll

 

RJJ or SRL

I feel RJJ would just outspeed everyone. SRL had speed, but not RJJ level, had power but not RJJ level, but he had more guts and meaness to him so he could potentially outgrit Roy P4p.

 

RJJ is the definition of elite in the boxing ring. He was too fast, too strong, too crafty for anyone to figure out a way to beat him. He is my ALL TIME FAVORITE and the GOAT. I don't see any of the names mentioned going 12/15 rounds with him. RJJ was just a different creation.

 

Leonard I think combines all the best attributes.

Leonard has power, speed, footwork, good fundamentals, combination punching, good chin, big heart.

So for me Leonard.

 

It is close between Leonard and RJJ,but i slightly favour Roy

 

I honestly think Leonard is in a class above the other 3. He embarrassed Duran, stopped Hearns when he looked indestructible, and took Hagler right to the wire. They don't make them like SRL anymore, the closest we have seen since is Crawford, but he isn't Leonard either. Leonard, for me, is top 10 P4P all time, the other 3 are somewhere between 15-25.

 

Leonard. Roy’s Chin wouldn’t be able to hold up.

 

Roy Jones.
