sugar Ray Leonard would have KOed Floyd Jr.

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.

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

No one past or present beats floyd at 147

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.
