    Leonard by KO. Pac gets outboxed and outfought in this.

    Pretty much.

    It's funny, alot of Pacfans seem to misconstru Pac's p4p dominance, with welterweight dominance. Big difference.

    Pacquaio is a legend. Just not at Welterweight.

    I couldn't agree more. With the exception of Hearns SRL would be the worst possible match up for him in the history of the division.

    Do you realize that Pac is simply too small and not good enough to see a full 15 rounds with SRL? SRL was too complete of a boxer for Pac to deal with and would beat him up rather easily.

    When I consider that era as a whole, let's say 1975-1985, I doubt if Pac would have ventured past 126. Even at 126 there would be hell to pay.

    SRL not only had the ability to match anything Pacquiao could bring in the ring but he also had the power to make him pay dearly for any mistakes made over the course of the fight and since Pacquiao makes many...

    If only Pacman had the size Leonard has, it could be a little more interesting...but it's not the case, therefore SRL gets the TKO in 8 or 9.

    I dunno man I think even if Pac were good enough to beat SRL there is nothing he could accomplish to demonstrate it to the world. He could spark out the other top welters back to back but people would still pick SRL over Pacquiao. SRL was a monster with skill and regrettably there are no monsters for Pac to face in this WW era.
