    Leonard by Decision

    Had the power, speed and reflexes and movement to give Floyd fits...

    Plus Floyd wouldn't have the power to keep the Ray that, slugged it out with Roberto Duran, honest

    SRL by KO.

    Leonard was one of the best finishers ever if he got you hurt chances were very high that you wouldnt get out of the round,he wouldn't gas like old man Mosley.

    You have to remember Ray was a pretty big welter 5 10 , good reach , was as quick as any fighter has been and could really whack , floyd isnt a natural welter and if you seen how Ray figured an 18 - 0 Floyd snr out then you would know the outcome. Floyd would get hurt , punished and stopped around the 9th. I do think this comparison is a little unfair though as Floyd really is a Super Feather/ Lightweight.

    Well Floyd Sr gave SRL and few promblems in their fight so this is a very intresting match-up. Floyd Jr is miles ahead of his father in terms of talent and got the best defense the ring has ever known. SRL, in his heyday was lighting fast and had power so this fight is a toss up to me.

    Great post :good

    Also remember modern day nutrition and training boxing has moved on. Also remember that modern day weigh ins - Floyd would have been a middle back in the day, much stronger than Ray

    Also remember the way Duran countered Ray's jab - Floyd would do that all night. He would be the best counter-puncher Ray has ever faced and also have the edge in TEH SPEED!!!!!1111111111111111 and better defence

    Floyd by UD or late TKO

    Floyd by UD.
     
  11. Would've looked like Floyd vs DLH if Oscar had more stamina and better discipline. 116-112 for Leonard.

    Hey look at the SRL vs Floyd Sr fight, Floyd Sr actually won a few rounds. Like I said Floyd is one of the best defensive fighters he ring has seen and is fast just like SRL. I know Floyd is better than Wilfred Benitez who gave SRL a tough fight. I watched all of SRL and Floyd Jr fight to know that this could be a interesting match-up that could be a toss up fight.

    Floyd, won all 12 rounds against Carlos Baldomir. The same Carlos Baldomir with victories over Judah and Clottey and koed Arturo Gatti. So that's a weak argument there.
