    Ray would struggle to hit GGG without getting caught with GGG`s jab which is much better than Ray`s was v Marvin, he didn`t land as many jabs that night as GGG did v Canelo in both their fights, GG has a great defense too.

    “You guys only exist online doe!”
    :lol::lol::lol: WTF does that even mean? I’ve told ****** try hards like you in person that Klitschko would beat Tyson worse than Douglas did. Lol I mention that because I remember you saying behind your other alt that “Vitali sucks.”

    And the “Record Books” aren’t the end all be all in today’s corruption in boxing.

    Leonard. We've seen much lesser fighters touch up GGG. He's also a pretty small 160.

    GGG isn’t a small thing 160, not a big one not a small one, much bigger man than Leanord. Would still pick SRL though

    Leonard beat Benitez, Kalule, Duran, Hearns, Hagler & Lalonde at Light Heavyweight
    He would clown GGG and have him off balance, punching fresh air and finding his head & shoulders through the ropes or charging into the ring post.

    Offensively SRL would land what he wanted when he wanted and even showboat the bolo punch so effectively that he’d have the normally composed Golovkin seething and frothing at the mouth. When/if trapped Leonard would land 7 & 8 punch combinations and fight his way out winning the close up exchanges with blinding speed and accuracy before skipping away leaving GGG applauding a magic act before realising we was in a fight.

    In short
    ‘Ask a silly question . . ‘

    Hagler would destroy GGG so would Duran, Hearns, Mugabe, Antuerfermo, Minter & Sibson. Stepping forward an era or two, Starling, Benn, Eubank, Calzaghe would also beat him.

    I liked Leonard a lot at lower weights. At 160, prime GGG knocks him out badly but loses a few rounds in the process. Ray was a better boxer and overall better fighter but prime GGG is a lot tougher than faded Hagler. GGG would work the jab and cut off the ring but would take punishment from the faster Leonard. I think it would be similar to the Brooke fight but GGG had no respect for Kel and took way too many shots. Sugar Ray would not be able to hurt GGG’s granite chin but he’s certainly test it. A Leonard win wouldn’t surprise me but I’d expect GGG to knock him out after roughing him up.

    I think his prime was from about the Proksa fight through the 2nd Canelo fight, you may also say Lemieux fight, but their was such a skill gap between the two that it could have been a little misleading. GGG fine tuned his craft later in his career under sanchez.That being said, no way would SRL, KO GGG. I dont see that.

    Canelo didnt beat GGG your just one of the few and the proud that really believe that. If SRL can beat GGG easy then he can slap Canelo silly.

    Sugar Ray Leonard is 64 years old. No way he takes GGG.
