Floyd Mayweather or Sugar Ray Leonard, who was more talented?

Zab however had better reflexes and more speed than Floyd.

But no one tops Roy Jones jr

 

Fair enough, but Mayweather is the only one of those three who was also gifted with a great chin.

 

Always wondered if Jones jr had great chin and was as skilled defensively as Floyd

 

I do agree so I'm not looking for an argument, but do you think Leonard's killer instinct comes into the debate? I mean surely knowing how to put away a guy and having the accuracy and speed to do it is talent?

 

That would just be unfair.

 

The best fighter I’ve seen on film, easily Sugar Ray Leonard.

 

Mayweather also put guys away at lower weights. Leonard generally didn’t when he moved up.

 

He was not at all unbeatable against guys his size, since mid-tier guys who were his size, such as Castillo and Maidana, took him to the limit. Most people thought Castillo beat him. You can say that it doesn't matter what most people think, but it does indicate that Chavez, Pryor, Duran, would all beat him. SRL smokes him, but they are not the same size.

 

NoBrain taking nutthugging to a all new level.

 

yeah if you dont count head to head matches

 

Outside of Corrales and Hatton who did Mayweather stop? It certainly doesn't compare to Benitez and Hearns.
I agree that Leonard didn't carry much power up in weight. He only really stopped Lalonde above WW.

 

He was ruthless against Gatti and Augustus.

 

Leonard only had a handfull of fights above WW when he was past his best and after retirements plus at least three of the guys he fought above welter had iron chins (Hagler,Duran and Camacho). The only guy in his prime that he fought above 147 he stopped (Kalule).

Anyone who thinks Floyds power was on the same level as Leonard cant be taken serious.

 

Floyd entered his fourth weightclass and knocked out an undefeated champion. Did Leonard do that?

Was Corrales ever stopped at 130?
