sugar Ray Leonard would have KOed Floyd Jr.

[powerpuncher]

i agree that SRL wins. he is just better and floyd fighting guys with speed doesnt suit him well.

[ykdadamaja]

In a 15 rounder Floyd would have retired.... by round 12 or 13....

Floyd hates guys that have high punch volumes... Floyd can't handle pressure... continual pressure. Take a look at the Emanuel Agustus fight, and you would see WHY Floyd said it was his toughest fight and WHY Castilo gave him problems in the first fight and WHY he will NEVER fight Manny Pacqioua.

In fact, the other Sugar, Sugar Shane Mosely, if he had fought Shane when Shane was at his peak, Shane would have knocked him spark out... it would have been a massacre.

Do you honestly believe that Floyd couldn't go 15 rounds?

Anyone that has seen the prime Sugar Ray Leonard knows Ray wins that one.

Ray Leonard was just an all around better fighter.

Duran's one of the Greatest fighters in history.
I don't see the point you're trying to make.

Duran, a natural lightweight 135 (same day weigh-ins back then) decided to go up to Welter 147 and fight one of the Greatest Welterweights there's ever been.

[brocktonblockbust]

floyd is not the greatest at 140-147---the fllowing would beat him---

aaron pryor
roberto duran
sugar ray robinson
sugar ray leonard
hell even a prime oscar de la hoya beats floyd at 147.

Other than punching power, what did Ray Leonard do better than Floyd? lol

I can't believe the shit some of you guys are getting on with.

Floyd can't handle pressure?

Floyd can't handle speed?

What the fuck?

faster hands and better combinations. floyd has quick hands but leonards hands were lightning fast. ive never seen floyd throw as fast as i have seen leonard throw. also, leonard has great combinations that are nearly unmatched in all of boxing history.

their footwork is probably about even along with their chin and conditioning. as mentioned before, i wouldnt say that leonard is on a completely different level than floyd, but stylistically, leonard wins fairly easy.

[Dark Lord Al]

Floyd isn't a natural WW so perhaps its unfair to compare them.

[Beanflicker]

I refuse to believe that somebody actually thinks SRR had faster hands and better combinations than Floyd Mayweather.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're used to seeing modern Mayweather and haven't seen his older fights in quite some time.

For your own sake, please go back and watch Floyd from 10 years ago.

To be fair to SRL, Floyd was also the smaller man, so it's not that impressive that he was faster than SRL.

[imp]

Floyd owns 140-147 until someone beats him.

[Beanflicker]

In fact, the other Sugar, Sugar Shane Mosely, if he had fought Shane when Shane was at his peak, Shane would have knocked him spark out... it would have been a massacre.

He tried to fight peak Shane numerous times, it was always Shane ducking and dodging Mayweather. That's a documented, certified fact.

[Max Power]

I've reviewed Ray Leonard many times. He was a great boxer. He would have been a good opponent for Mayweather. But I don't think he would have proved any more serious threat than say Marquez.

Mayweather UD Leonard most likely outcome and by quite a margin!!
