    How does a prime Leonard fare against these fighters from 147-160. I know he only had 1 only fight at 160, but he looked real good against Hagler (who was aged but still dangerous) and I feel that if he could stay active he'd do well there.

    Loses to Ray Robinson at 147, and might drop one to someone else here,Gavilan, Trinidad?
    154, he loses to Hearns, Tommy was peak here. McCallum , Norris , Canelo and Mugabi would be hard for this version of Leonard.
    Ray gets clobbered at 160 vs most of these guys

    Aint no way in Hell Trinidad is beating Leonard. Not a prayer.

    And the Leonard would beat Kalule is tatooing Crapnelo all night long.

    Leonard wouldn't struggle much with Curry.

    It's not that I don't have a high opinion of Curry, I do, but the guy lacked intangibles. That was okay against most fighters because he was so talented, but in the case of Leonard, Ray was both more talented than Curry and with miles more substance.

    Leonard would destroy Curry, in all honesty.

    Are you really asking us if SRL would beat Eubank Jr!?

    Next you’ll be asking who wins out of Duran and Ricky Burns

    I've always found SRL overrated AS ****. Extremelly overrated. Festing on washed up hagler and winning by running marathons vs a dwarf durán (and even losing to him when not running enough).

    Sorry, I know it's not a popular opinion, but it's mine.

    Your reading comprehension is poor.

    The guy said Canelo was 50-50 with Leonard at 154. The Leonard who beat Kalule at 154 was very much in his prime. Or have you even see that fight?

    The 87 Leonard (the middleweight Leonard) was not in his prime, but still, that Leonard ain't losing to no Billy Joe and Charlo.

    Even at 154, Leonard was at his best at 147 .

    Don't forget SRL was a 15 round boxer, some on list only ever did 12 rounds.
    This makes a massive difference on out come.
