    Nah but he has more power. It’s hard to hit Shakur clean.

    Leonard got hit more than Floyd, it universally recognized Leonard was more skilled

    You're out of your mind. Floyd was levels more skilled. Leonard couldn't throw counters anywhere near as well as Floyd and had none of the defense. Ray probably wasn't even the most skilled Leonard.

    Universally recognized that Leonard was more skilled than Mayweather? Uhh... no.

    It's weird because 126 and 130 fighters very often still look like leprechaun division fighters. However, 135s, and especially quite a few of this generation of them, look massive for the weight and like natural 147s which is of course exactly what they are

    Shakur, as an example, looks way bigger than the leprechaun division guys.

    He literally never even made one defence of his world title at 126 he relinquished it and moved up to 130 and then he lost his belt at 130 on the scales for his 2nd defence (after his 5th fight at the weight) and moved up to 135 in his next fight.

    He looks the same size as Teo
