Where has Ray ever shown the slickness of Mayweather? He has used his speed to win almost everything fight he was in. Look how Hearns outboxed him, look how Duran beat him up on the inside, and even in the second fight he wasn't winning by more than a round or two and Duran wasn't even fighting very well that fight. Leonard is great, but I say him vs. Mayweather is a toss up depending on how they fight.












Ray has the ability to show great defense when need be. He choose to be the aggressor in the Hearns fight and Brawl at times rather then box. He choose to try and outfight Duran at times as well

Tommy Hearns had great boxing ability. He can/could box with anyone. Most just like to remember him as the power punching one shot KO machine.

Roberto Duran at that time would be a tough fight for anyone at that weight EVER!!!!

You are talking about two of the greatest fighters of the 1980's as his opponents. Hearns is a top 10 welter of all time. Duran is a top 5 LW of all time.

Think about who you are using as examples before you make comparisons like that.

He wasn't being outboxed by Troy Dorsey or barely ahead of the cards against some jobber
