    This................


    You see how nobody attempted answer my 2 questions, a the Mayweather style is all wrong for Leonard, now Leonard may have a better shot at beating Pac, because of Pac's inability to cut off the ring, but if Duran beat SRL once why is it such a stretch to say that the great MP can't do the same

    I voted Sugar Ray to beat both!

    Against Mayweather he can match him anywhere, something May has never dealt with. Leonard outspeeds and wins on volume easily in this fight imo.

    With pacquiao there is just not enough size to match Leonard. I think Pac's style would do better against Leonard than Mayweatherr if he wasn't giving up 4 inches in height.

    He is a very bad match up for Pacquiao. Maywaether could beat him.

    For example Hagler KOs Pacquiao for sure, he isnt going to hurt Hagler and Hagler would destroy him, and Hagler would UD Floyd so dont start with bull**** fighters from 30 years ago could not compete today.

    SRL kills Manny.

    SRL is a 50/50 against Floyd, seeing that Ray had issues with Floyd Sr. and the Mayweather style.

    Well thats the thing you say Pac doesnt know to cut the ring off, and you still say he would beat Leonard, well how exactly?

    He would destroy both guys. Just bigger, faster and generally has too many advantages. If you need proof of this, then just watch the first hearn's fight.

    Isn't this a little ****ing obvious? Stop comparing mayweather and pacquiao to leonard until they fight eachother. even then i don't think pacquiao can handle leonard's ability and mayweather can't handle leonard's speed and versatility.

    Really? He offered Pryor a $500,000 pay-day, which Pryor refused. If your contention is that it wasn't enough, consider that Pryor's biggest purse up until that point was the $50,000 he'd gotten when he beat Cervantes. That's a 1000% raise. Consider also that Pryor was a Jr. Welter (and only there because he couldn't get the right breaks at Lightweight) who wasn't even on Leonard's radar at the time, and rightly so. The fact that Arguello was so heavily favoured to beat him should tell you about the public opinion of Pryor at the time. Leonard had bigger fish to fry.

    Still, he made Pryor the offer. Pryor was the one who turned it down (along with the even larger purse that Duran's people offered).

    floyd and pac don't fight in Hagler's weight class. Hagler was a middle weight, both of these guys are welterweights. If either of them moved up like Leonard did then yes they would get knocked out.

    You people are killing me with the "Leonard had problems with Floyd Sr." line. Watch the goddamn fight. Leonard felt him out for a couple of rounds (as he almost always did, regardless of the opponent's class) before stepping into gear and turning it into a one-sided thrashing.

    This **** is ****ing ridiculous. People just repeat what they've heard. They make it seem like it was a tit for tat chess match.
