    Hector Camacho beat Ray because he was 40 years old. Your argument is flawed.

    The usual worthless fanboy arguments abound again I see.

    Who cares about the personalities of either of the women beating pieces of ****?

    The question was related to skill, nothing else.

    Mayweather more skilled defensively, Leonard more skilled offensively.

    Mayweather is easily more skilled. He has defense and footwork that Leonard couldn't dream of. The only edge Leonard has is in combination punching, but Floyd was a monster in the regard at lower weights too.

    no. YOUR argument is flawed

    GIVEN THAT, both men were past their primes, the fact that Hector shouldnt have been issued a license to box after the beating he took five yrs earlier, the fact that he was 4 inches shorter and gave 6 inches in reach, the fact that he really lost to 45 yr old Duran, Ray shouldve taken him

    lets not forget who is the naturally bigger man

    Camacho laid his deadly trap using Duran as the bait, and Leonard fell for it

    Leonard had never faced anyone with Hector's speed before except Norris, and look how that turned out

    as Sean O'grady said, this one turned out worse

    but I liked-ed it anyway
