Mick, I know you're a big Oscar fan, but do you really think Oscar would have a chance against Ray Leonard? I can't think of one thing that Oscar does as well as Leonard. Ray was bigger, faster, stronger, etc.

I think a strong argument can be made that Leonard is the 2nd best welter ever. I'm not even sure that Oscar is top 15.
HUGE FAN....
I think Oscars talent expands thru the divisions he's been in with the exception of the Middleweight div.
Other then that I give him a damn! good chance against the best in every divisions he's fought in.
To say that he would beat SRL, IMO is nothing out of this world or something that's unimaginable.
Pernells harder to hit then SRL but Oscar was able to land and beat Pernell.
So why not SRL, I can't tell you how the fight would go but I think Oscar could pull it off.
I assumed this list was prime-vs.-prime. Oscar didn't fight a prime Pernell.

What elements of the sport do you think Oscar was better at than a prime Leonard at 147?
