    Could Ray beat a naturally bigger snd stronger guy as he did with Donny Lalonde ? Or would Andries' who had a better chin than Lalonde,wear Leonard down ?

    The Lalonde fight at 168 lbs mandated weigh-in, was a typical SRL ploy. A 175 lb Andries could outmuscle and win a decision over the smaller SRL. (Why not throw SRL in with prime Dwight Braxton too?)

    Andries was stopped by Harding and even though Jeff was bigger than Ray if Ray hit Andries enough I feel he could stop him.

    Dennis Andres was as tough as a $ 2 steak but limited in his skills and
    Thomas Hearns showed this . SRL would work a way to out box Andries
    and win on pts.
