    i'm trying to think of a comparable opponent to manny style wise and i'm having a lot of trouble...not to say leonard would struggle as a result but just odd

    Leonard wins a great fight. People talking about Leonard knocking out Pac in 6 are crazy.

    It would be a high quality fight, and I'd favour Leonard on cuts late in the fight.

    Id say Pac would last longer than 6 but no more than 10 & I dont see him winning more than 2 rds, Leonard does everything better than Manny, he is a better p4p fighter + he`ll be bigger as well, he has KO`d men that would KO Manny.

    It might be a good fight to watch but only in the sense that both guys are brilliant offensive forces in top form but as far as it being competitive ?... No !

    Hmm many people thought Pacquiao would lose on certain fighters, but he proved them wrong, looking at it, many people are picking Ray to beat Pacquiao. It's unfortunate that Pacquiao will not have the chance to prove himself against Ray.

    I am not saying Pacquaio would beat Ray (but it's a possibility,), I am just giving some perspective.

    Nah, Id bet very big on Mayweather to decisively beat Pac & Leonard is a better fighter + bigger than Mayweather.

    I rate Pac but vs SRL he`d be in WAY over his head IMHO.
