I say Mayweather. He can adjust to any style of any opponent he faces. He is very fast now and even faster in his prime. People seem to think he is slower than fighter who look fast when they throw combinations but that is not true. The thing is, Mayweather throws one or two punches because he is so defensive. One or two punches allows him to hit the target and then quickly defend himself. Mayweather is smart and does not rely on his speed like most fighters do. Mayweather is one of the best if not the best defender in the history of the sport. Leonard's combinations don't mean anything if he can't land them. Mayweather can easily take away Leonard's speed by timing his punches. People need to stop assuming every single legend beats Mayweather. Always with the same reason "oh this guy was strong", "oh this guy was big", "this guy had power", "This guy beat this guy" pathetic reasoning.
I know this doesn't really prove that Leonard would beat Mayweather but do you honestly think that Mayweather would have survived against Hagler let alone arguably won that fight?
No! Ray would have been bigger, stronger, just as fast, just as skilled, with a lot more fire power. Floyd hasn't got the power to have gained Ray's respect. Which would have resulted in Ray just continuously walking forward. Which in turn would have put Floyd on the defensive. You can't bag rounds like that. The fight has a win for Ray written all over it. Which is no shame for two reasons. 1. Ray is an ATG. 2. Floyd's peak was at the lower weights.
of course he would easily IF they were even close to the same size when prime. if untrained Floyd sr could give srl that much trouble a Floyd jr that is so many earths better than sr of course would and EASILY. only problem is Floyd at his best was 130/35 srl was 147/160 ish at his best. srl was a much bigger fighter than Floyd. its how great Floyd is, he is ONLY compared to ATG fighters that were way bigger than him. that truly shows how great TBE has been over his unblemished career
exactly HOW did he duck said fighters ? Floyd is the ONLY fighter that can (and DID) offer fighters career paydays and get accused od ducking at the same time. you're a %$^#^& moron kid. and "ducking" GGG, remind me if I am wrong but I think trip G is the ruler of 160 and Floyd is fighting at 147 which he BARELY can even get up tp 147. ya ya ya trip G said he WOULD fight Floyd at 154 BUT I never seen trip G fight at 54. shot klit WOULD sday yes to fighting Floyd at 154 you claim duck duck duck when you have NO IDEA WTF you are babbling about. do you or do you NOT realize the facts **** on your duck duck duck facts are NOT opinions and your opinions are driven by hate which makes you wish you were remotely close to believing your opinions were CLOSE to what really transpired. kid, you lie so much and spread so much BS I think you might actually believing the nonsense you spew
