    Guys like Leonard would have done well, but his style still wasn't as developed as Mayweather, his defense wasn't as sharp, his punching technique not as precise. I'm not saying they couldn't compete with the guys nowadays, I am just saying their technique isn't as good. I just think if you go too far back there is no way guys like Jack Johnson, Gene Tunney, Joe Louis would overcome the differences in size, technique, and training if they put into a time machine a brought today. Even the great Ray Robinson IMO might be the only guy who could cross over, even though he had terrible defensive skills his power, speed, and combinations were a mixture of Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson, and he had the speed and chin to deal with a beating.
