Alvarez was faster and more powerful than Leonard ever was and could not land anything significant on him at all.
Marquez and De La Hoya both had pop and are both very technical and aggressive and still no goods.
What makes Leonard better than the best opponents of Floyd??? Who appear to me to be equivalently talented and proficient fighters??
I don't personally agree myself, I think he was goods, but the case has been made before that SRL is in fact highly overrated as well!! Consider that.

Floyd isnt broner though. Broner is like a snot nosed bitch whose ball sacks havent even dropped yet compared to floyd. Im not sure broner beats Victor ortiz at 147.
Only way I see floyd getting knocked out is if he fights aggressively as he did with mosley, cotto, and he would know better not to do that against leonard..

Alvarez may be more powerful but is not faster than Leonard. Marquez at welterweight is not in the same league as Leonard. Oscar was old but still the closest to beating Floyd with the jab.
Leonard would have beaten Floyd but may not stop or KO him.

Well I'm not going to argue with you here because I think there is a strong enough case for Leonard. A welcome change from many other of your high hopes match ups ;D
