    Sugar v the Cinderella man at light heavy .Leonard's one pop at the light heavy belt against lalonde saw him victorious ,to be fair Donny had to come down in more to the super middle weight bracket.
    So how's he deal with Braddock here ?
    Is sugar reaching to far ..or could he stamp a loss on Jimmy s record ?

    Braddock in a one sided beating... He was much bigger,much stronger,he would not respect the "power" of leonard.he would run like a rabbit all the fight to survive and would spend his stamina doing it .leonard never weighed 175 pounds his highest weight was 165. BrAddock in a missmatch

    I don't think I could argue to much with that. Just to say that Leonard would have no advantages here ,apart from maybe speed .He would run that's for sure but purely tactical not for fear. But it would tell on Leonard s legs ,he was no spring Chick as light heavy , and Braddock would start to connect .My initial thought was Leonard loses on points but I think a more probable end is Leonard being stopped , somewhere around the 7 th
