I don't see Pac getting out of the first six rounds. Leonard finishes too well, and sharpshoots too accurately.
Lol i thought this was a joke thread, but then i realised that many people on here are somehow convinced that Leonard was a fraud, lol that always makes me laugh .... Leonard destroys Pacquaio brutally .... Thats a very easy prediction, a harder prediction would be Leonard v Curry, I'd still edge Leonard but people forget how brilliant Curry was ..... Curry would annihilate Manny Pac too .... Pac beats Hatton, a washed up Oscar and a weathered Cotto and people start believing he can beat Ray Leonard, oh man thats unbelievable :admin
A better thread and far more interesting thread would be to see how Pac would get on against Pernell Whitaker, Aaron Pryor, Chavez or Meldrick Taylor ..... Putting him in with Leonard is 'Dreamland', i'd take all these guys to beat Pac because i understand modern day matchmaking and modern day hype .... Pac is a brilliant fighter but you'll see how good he is against true brilliance when he faces Floyd, he aint even gonna win a single round against Floyd .... Pac v Leonard , thats truly laughable ...........
Ray wasn't as tall as Hearns but he was actually a fairly tall WW and also COME ON. Pac is at his utmost limit at WW and Leonard was perhaps in his prime weight there. He'd go up to the super middle/light heavy area by the latter part of his career against Lalonde. That's like asking who would win between a top tier ATG Light HW and a stretched to the limit Leonard. It's craziness. Pac is an awesome fighter and he beat a great WW in Cotto, but not a guy who was on the short list of all-time great welters by any means. Leonard IS on that short list. Just an unfair fight in every way.
Oh no.... ITS believable ESB has some of the most delusional tards in earths history, just check out my signature, I believe I actually got it from this very thread, mesmerising... & yes, Floyd will beat Pacquiao, not sure he will win every rd tho, I think more of Pac than that but he WILL beat Pac, you can pretty much put a **** load of cash on that one. :good
Silly that this thread is still alive. People would rather trash Leonard than maintain their credibility on this board.
well, pac did beat clottey, who is basically this generations sugar ray leonard. out of respect, i'll say leonard wins more rounds than clottey...i'll give him 1.:rasta
much like duran. they should have a welterweight showdown, lasts 2 rounds before the ring is painted brown
Leonard is better than Pac in just about every department, he has better speed, power, footwork, chin, defence, he`s smarter, more versatile & a better finisher. I think Leonard toys with him before taking him out in 10 rds or less - & thats being generous to Manny, he only gets as far as rd 10 because Ray toys with him in too many rds. A Leonard in vicious, hunt & destroy mode takes Pac out in 4.
