Floyd physically matches up better with SUGAR but still Sugar has the edge in height and reach.Manny will get dwarfed by Leonard. I see Floyd losing a close decision to Sugar and Manny probably gets stopped in the 10th round.
He proved it, without a ****in' doubt. Hearns is regarded as the historical H2H powerhouse at both 147/154 for his freakish physical attributes, ridiculous boxing skill and damning power (there may not be a more famous "right hand"). The only fighter he couldve beat at the weight, at the time he fought him is Robinson himself. Tommy proved his worth in that fight as well, blowing up the side of Leonard's face and carrying a comfortable lead into the late rounds... Leonard had to stop him or he loses. If that isnt enough, he stood and traded for 15 with Duran and lost courageously when it was completely unncessary to do so. In the rematch, he smartened up and utilized his reach, hand and foot speed to get even and is criticized for it ?? Or how about an undefeated Wilfred Benitez, one of the greatest defensive fighters since Willie Pep. Took the proclaimed "Bible of Boxing" and tactically broke him down. Or how about A. Kalule, undefeated/lineal 154 champion and southpaw. Have we mentioned Hagler yet?
It's quite obvious Floyd and Pac both win... combined vs Leonard But by themselves against SRL.. they both lose.. wide
I did not say that Floyd, and Pac wins the fight against SRL comfortably.. I said, they have decent chances.. :deal Unless all of you guys believe that SRL beats both of them 100% everytime.. :huh Looks like some came up with their thoughts from the thread title alone.. At least try to read the OP.. :smoke
Leonard scores a late TKO on Pacquiao. Leonard does the same to Floyd or gets a wide UD if Floyd goes into survival mode to not get KO'd.
Leonard decisions Floyd and Ko's Manny..........the reason he Ko's Manny is Manny is going to take more chances then Floyd would have and that would have been his eventual downfall.
Sugar Ray fought Hagler and beat him. Sugar Ray sparked Hearns. Sugar Ray beat Duran physically and mentally. He would have ass whooped Mayweather and Spacman.
I believe he would've stopped Floyd as well. For all his defensive brillance, Benitez never made it to the bell.
