Could Srl (Norris fight) beat any current 154 pounder?

Cory Spinks maybe.

 

He really did a job on 36-0 Kalule

But who are we kidding? The only thing Kalule had going for him was an overinflated record but with no speed whatsoever

to beat Ray, you don't have to be great; you have to be fast

 

Tell that to Wilfred Benitez.

 

For what? He didn't have any speed

 

I was going to create him on Fight Night champion and was unsure what speed attribute to give him, now I know; 0.

 

being serious for a moment; whatever made you think he was fast?

 

Yes he does. I don't see a prime Leonard having much difficulty with a 36 year old Cotto or Lara. While its true that he never did much at 154, Ayub Kalule was at least comparable to some of the Jr. Middles who are around today, and needless to say beating an aged Hagler at 160 was an even tougher test yet..

 

If you don't consider Benitez a quick fighter there's no point furthering out discussion.

 

He'd definitely beat K-9

 

wow, must be tougher to answer than I thought

 

By the time Leonard got to Norris, Leonard was going thru a drug issue, plus, constant retired, un-retired had taken a toll on his skills. He was nowhere near the fighter he was in the early 80's. So yes I'm sure a few of the fighters around that weight class today could beat him.
