At middleweight who takes it?
Ray Leonard uses his hand and foot speed to land enough punches and take this one in a decision.
Leonard goes down once and spends the whole night hitting Wright's arms. Never being able to connect flush. Still with the help of the judges in his pocket. Leonard wins a UD.
Ha as soon as I saw you had made a post I already knew what you were going to say.Quote:

I got Wright as wellQuote:

These yester-year comparisons are so hard to figure...
Wright's defense seems almost light years beyond all the other fighters...I'd have to think that it'd pose the same problem for even the previous big wigs. Factor in his jab...Wright's a tuff nut to crack.
That being said...Wright being one of my favorites...Leonard would probably beat him.
More power...faster...so on & so on & so on...& I loathe Leonard.
:coolclick: for not being fooking bias like some people on here wacks! Fair play if you admit Leonard would take Winky IYO even tho you hate him.Quote:

I think Leonard can't beat Winky... Winky is much faster than Hagler was, and Leonard could not deal with his jab... Look at Hearns' jab, and his wasn't even as sharp as Winky's or as often thrown, and he still kept Leonard back. I also think that Leonard hit as hard though he is a better knockout puncher than WInky, but that will not be a factor because he can't dent Ronald. I still say that its a close fight, and Winky could very well lose on the cards due to poor judging, and a less exciting style, but that he would deserve to win. Sidenote: If he can deal with Mosley and Robert Frazier's speed he can deal with Leonard's.
