    Now I know Leonard was not a true super middleweight and he made lalonde ( A true light heavyweight) come down 7 pounds to fight him and put up his Light.Hwt title and fight for the vacant super middleweight belt as well.

    I get all that.

    Now my question is since technically he was a super middleweight for this fight, I just wanna know how much of a chance would you give (88) Leonard against the likes of
    Ward
    Froch
    Kessler
    Dirrell
    Taylor
    Abraham

    ???

    He loses to all of them. He might be up on points when Froch and Abraham him.
    He has a slight chance against Taylor but not much
    Ward would be embarrassing
    Kessler dominates on the way to a stoppage
     
    Reinhardt and Steven Cartwright like this.

    Agreed, he might get a robbery on points maybe once by going the distance , I'd say he gets Ko'ed more often than not.

    I don't think that Leonard had enough left in the tank at that point to run the table. But, to think that on any given night he has no chance to beat some of these men is ridiculous. All of these men were beatable.

    The problem with Ray at this point his speed and being inactive hurt him. So at times he started to hit on the breaks. Ward would beat him up. Froch? Toss up.. Kessler? I think Ray could win. Dirrell. I think Ray decisions him in a close fight. Taylor? Ray decision. Abraham? Leonard wins.
