    Ray would have been too much for him.

    Floyd's peak was obviously at the lower weights.

    It' a lightweight vs a welterweight. The welterweight wins.

    Leonard all day long would have Smashed Floyd up with his hand speed.
    Come to think of it so would Thomas Hearns that face Leonard in the first fight.

    Floyd's boxing is way more evolved than leonard's. Whether you like it or not, floyd had the oportunity to learn from Leonard, and Leonard never could learn from Floyd.

    This jumpy jumpy jumpy jump nonstop boxing from leonard, so used in the 70's 80's, would look like flat footed nonsense vs a more evolved boxing like floyd's boxing.

    If leonard stands any chance is because of the weight, that's all, and I wouldnt put my money on him.

    The question should be, who picked Floyd?

    Hearns puts FlIVd in a coma. Shoulder roll would be completely useless against that speed, size and power.

    I agree that probably, of all ATGs, Hearns is the one with the biggest probablities of beating floyd.

    The problem is that you only have to watch hagler vs hearns to know that Hearns' boxing IQ was not his best asset. Chances are that floyd would entangle him in an endless labyrinth, and once Hearns realizes, he has just lost by UD.

    You should stop insulting people before you are tagged as ignored by everybody and suddenly you have noone to talk with.

    You must be joking on jumpy jumpy jumpy jump nonstop boxing from Leonard,have you watched SRL?Floyd's hand speed is to slow for Leonard & he would not get in the inside v Hearns either.SRL beat the best & in Primes IE Benitez/Hearns/Hagler/Duran.
    BTW if Floyd would have faced Leonard it would not have been the first Mayweather he beat.

    SRL would just press the action till Floyd flops. SRL naturally bigger so really not a fair match up.
