    Leonard by UD or even stoppage late. Too fast and accurate for Mayweather's defense, and his blistering pace doesn't help.

    Def SRL at welter ,he'd always have that extra edge on him .Mayweather doesn't stop trying though and rounds where sugar takes a breath show him at his Best. A entertaining match but the results never in question .

    Leonard is bigger, faster hits harder. Only question is does Mayweather hear the scorecards . Probably 117-111

    Leonard, he's much bigger, and hits much harder. Skillwise is pretty good too, and very quick

    Sugar wins but I suspect Floyd would be closer than the Benitez fight was for me, and closer than most will say on here

    I’ll be the odd ball and pick FM lol. I don’t think we will ever see a display of defensive skill that great again. Although this is my dream fight at this weight and I think it goes split decision. But what a fight it would be.

    Leonard clear UD. If God forbid Floyd decides he wants to engage more than Leonard could get the KO

    Leonard could win by out-boxing or outfighting Floyd. At 147 Floyd is not busy enough or hard hitting enough to make Ray second guess getting more aggressive. I believe Ray would eventually get the KO. in spite of Floyd's impressive defensive skills. Ray was a killer when he smelled blood, or if an opponent disrespected him. If Floyd talked his normal smack, or bragged about being TBE, it wouldn't just bring out Ray's best.... It would bring out his most savage side.

    SRL for me, and however he wants. He can outbox Floyd and win via workrate and landing the more telling blows. If May actually steps up his pace and engages SRL, he'll lose that type of fight. It's a fight where Floyd will earn SRL respect after the fight, and will likely be named one of if not "The best I faced", but he'll lose a 7-4-1 type of decision.

    I agree that at 147, Ray wins. Not really a fair matchup for Floyd... Let's match him at 135 with Duran. oh wait that's not a fair match up for him either :)

    Too big a gap in class, in favor of SRL. Leonard probably wins by a wide UD, but I'd also stack a bit on the win coming by way of KO.
