    Really? It seems to me that Hagler's more popular on here.

    Mayweather should be a slight favorite over Leonard and a bigger favorite over “Montreal” Leonard. The advantages possessed by Mayweather are as follows :
    1. Superior counters.
    2. Superior defense.
    3. Jab to the body and lead right hand rack up points when the fight slows
    4. More adaptable/higher ring IQ
    5. Straighter punches (Leonard often looped right hands).

    The beliefs that Leonard could easily outwork Mayweather or that Leonard’s power would be too much are fallacies. Every tactical boxer I can remember who Mayweather fought had their output significantly lowered and I never saw Mayweather overly concerned with anyone’s power.

    I think Pac beats Loma even now (around 140lb of course).

    Hearns beating Mayweather and Pacquiao is no upset. The early KO's might have been however.

    Cleveland Williams, Frank Bruno, Ron Lyle, Razor Ruddock, and Earnie Shavers (back and forth on this one but leaning towards Shavers atm) all beat Marciano (even if they're not necessarily better).
