Not that I disagree that Leonard would win, but I disagree Mayweather letting him lead. I think Mayweather would know that Leonard is a worse fighter when he is fighting off the back foot and would come forward at all costs. On the outside I think Leonard has the advantage, he has a better/more effective jab and because of his height it works like faster reflexes for him. Mayweather on the outside has the same problems Leonard had against Hearns. but in the Zab Judah(only comparable athlete to Leonard) fight Mayweather kept his hands high and just used good technique and that amazing right cross to control the fight. I think Mayweather would obviously have a harder time control Leonard than Zab because Leonard has much more mental focus than Judah and is a better counter puncher, but I think Mayweather would keep the fight interesting with his speed, defense, and ring savy. He is so natural in there I can't see him losing badly unless he gets ko'ed.
