    And Leonard would take the fight, make the 40 million, get a rematch clause, and they'd both put on the fight of a lifetime.

    I could see it being fight of the century.

    Look what Leonard did with Duran in the first fight, even in losing to Duran by trading. Leonard's probably best match up in history is Pacquiao.

    What's even amazing is that fighters back then seems to be too dumb to think about going to the wide open chest.

    Pacquiao makes a fine fantasy fighter under lightweight...just definitely not above 140.

    I'm talking about against ATG fighters. Ask me if Pacquiao would win against fighters in this era and watch how sooner or later pac fights them for real.

    I was talking about ATG fighters too.

    Pacquiao might not beat everyone under lightweight but he'd at least be competitive with a lot of top guys from history.

    Against greats at light welterweight and welterweight? Forget it...

    I disagree.

    WW pac is a specimen in his own right.

    He gets written off for being current, like floyd and other fighters do.

    I think Pac would be competitive with any WW in history, but not able to go in and 'angle up' guys like pryor or robinson, but he gives them good tough fights.

    Pacquiao with Roach coaching won't be a walk in the park.

    I agree.

    Just because I think Leonard will over come Pac's challenge doesn't me I think it would be easy. AT ALL. I'm just confident Leonard has what it takes to stop a fighter like Pac.

    Leonard would beat pretty much a good whack of all time WW's.

    Manny is an ATG, but not an ATG welter.

    Leonard is too big! He was a career welter with his first fight at 141. 5'10, 74 inch reach, power, speed, skills. That is a mountain too hard to climb.

    Pac started at 106 and probably his best weight would be 140 based on limited figts at that weight. 5'6", 67 inch reach.

    Not a fair comparison.

    However, pound for pound, Leonard would win but it would be a fight because Pac will bring it on losing or winning.

    Even Mayweather can not win against SRL, considering that reachwise, sizewise, he is closer than Pac.

    It wouldn't take Sugar 11 rounds to ko PAc dun. Right now if this ww version of PAc were to fight a prime Sugar, Sugar would possibly be charged with murder by Freddie Roach!!!

    Freddie Roach wouldn't let him fight a prime Ray, nor is he a policeman.

    Floyd would duck the **** out of Ray or end up like his dad Vs Ray.

    Leonard can actually say " I beat the **** out of your daddy and I will do the same thing to you..." towards Floyd.

    LMAO
