Its very easy for fans to over estimate the legends of the past. Leonard is one of my favourite fighters and I am a big fan of him, but its easy to forget he lost to a LW when he was a WW. That said I think Leonard would have beaten Pacquiao at WW convincingly. I think that Leonard with his size and speed could possibly have beaten Floyd. I struggle to pick on that one but slightly favour Leonard. Leonard was a great and I think he would get by todays fighters up to MW. Im still not convinced about Golovkin even though he is a big puncher, and think Leonard would be able to take any shots that land and outbox Golovkin
He could had fought PBF and GGG on same night, and beat them both. SRL was and is the best fighter in the last 30 years.
I agree about SRL being the best alright. But to be fair he wasnt a career middleweight. GGG is. Dont forget that. GGG regularly ko's big middles who weigh in the 170's. SRL has NO track record of doing that ....( and to be fair nor should he - he was a welterweight after all! Likewise for example GGG has no track record of ko's against top light - heavies) GGG probably would be too much for him, soley on account of being a career midddleweight.
