Mayweather vs Sugar Ray Leonard

I tend to agree. I think it if boiled down to a technical boxing match Leonard would get the better of him as well, and by a clear margin. In fact, I'd be inclined to go with a late stoppage on the part of Leonard. Just a class above Floyd at 147.

 

Leonard= ATG welterweight
Mayweather= ATG super featherweight, good to very good welterweight

Leonard UD Mayweather

 

This thread has been discussed many times, and it will always be leonard being more active, bigger and even quicker than pbf, leonard by ud

 

Ray Leonard of '81 was too good and strong for Floyd Mayweather of 2006 at 147........ Mayweather punches like a *****, while Leonard punched and fought like a man...... Nuff said....... Raymond Leonard all the way......

MR.BILL

 

leonard ud if his dad could take leonard almost all the way im pretty sure mayweather could

 

leonard all day. not to take away from floyd but if he wants to be mentioned in the same breath as duran, leonard, or hearns, he's got to take on the bigger cats in their prime just like they did. not that he can't, but will he is the question. he's still an atg, but if he was to beat margo or pw, who are bonafide welters, just like leonard did with tommy, then i'll have him up there with the durans and sugars.

 

Can't see PBF getting caught with anything that would KO him. SRL UD

 

is this thread a joke?

srl = great

fmj = fake

no contest

and i'm no ray fan

 

Close fight.

The only guy that Leonard fought that had the same mindset as Mayweather was Benitez, and Benitez isn't a Mayweather IMO. Mayweather has more to his game than Benitez.

The Benitez-Leonard fight was fairly close and competitive so I would imagine a Mayweather-Leonard clash would be similarly so.

One would have to think SRL would be too big and aggressive to be too thrown off by Mayweather's awkwardness so I would go for SRL UD.

 

Interesting fight. I would envision Mayweather beating leonard up but leonard winning a lot of close rounds with his flashy style...thus a DRAW

 

yea like he did with hatton, but i didnt like that it was at 147 cuz hatton sucks at 147, but hatton still gave him a good fight. not that i wanna see floyd lose, i don't care about his personal life or personality, but just wanna see him backup his words of being better than robinson, which is blasphemy. i don't even have him up there with armstrong or whitaker yet. i've been of fan of his since he beat justin juuko, but if the man talks he needs to back up his words

 

For the nth time . . . Leonard!

KO or decission it's still Leonard.

 

I see no way that Floyd could pull this off.
