    If I had to choose one boxer in history to fight to save my life, it'd be Leonard at 147lbs. Roy is in there as well.

    I agree, but debatable.

    One guy is a "runner" and the other whom does the same thing is a "boxer-puncher" solely based on whatever the consensus preferences of the boxer is.

    Not a same mentality at all.

    Mayweather trains hard, is not intiminated by his opponents and beats them in the ring.

    Charlie dosent train, has no guts and dosent have balls to fight anyone.

    Only similar thing is that both of them trash talk. Besides Mayweather is that good that he has right to believe that he could have beaten SRL. Its not like they are different level fighters

    Trinidad vs Campas.

    Oscar de la Hoya vs Fernando Vargas

    Shane Mosley vs Wilfredo Rivera (despite struggling badly with one of the underrated fighters of the 1990's, Shane pulls it out of the bag).

    WHOA. Floyd jr. actually talked **** to Leonard? Is that true? Cause that's fuked up man. Talkin **** to a man that's been retired for almost 2 decades?
    Leonard would've destroyed Floyd.

    I'd say that Leonard, Tito and Joe Louis are the three best finishers I've seen. All very different but if they hurt an opponent, chances were they weren't going to hear the final bell.

    Gotta agree with you homie..Even tho' he could fight on the back foot all day if he had too..Ray liked letting his hands go a lot..in the pocket.. and if you add the other intangibles and you have one of the best boxer-punchers ever.

    Hated his ass for beating my main man Tommy Hearns..but the man's fighting skillz can't be denied.

    A true ATG for sure.:good

    If you include Tito in there than Oscar should be too. Oscar finished off Mayorga and Vargas faster and didn't let Vargas go once he was hurt.

    TRrinidad was an amazing finisher. Once he had you hurt it was all over.

    i think thats more of a testament to Vargas' heart and survival instinct, although i can't stand Vargas i will give him that
