its hard for me to see mayweather winning but it could happen. unlike most people, i actually feel that mayweather got better as he went up in weight mainly because i feel like he was smarter. i kind of liken it to ali before and after he ban. a younger ali was faster, but an old ali was smarter. the weight isnt an issue either in this fight because during leonards WW days, they were same day weigh ins and he wouldnt have weighed too far above the limit. he probably wouldnt have outweighed mayweather by more than 5 pounds at the most.
anyways, leonard would have definitely missed a lot of shots. the thing though is that ray was a smart fighter. although floyd is great at adjusting to his opponent, leonard is pretty good at it too. i dont see him fighting dumb and trying to rush mayweather with flurries. i think that he stays on the outside and wins rounds by being more active. he would force mayweather to come out of his shell or lose by sitting on the ropes. i dont see leonard KOing him, but i see him winning comfortably although not easily.
