Mayweather v Leonard who wins welterweight?

[Mr140]

Well look between fight Benitez, Duran, and Hearns at the weigth i do not think there is anything that PBF can throw at SRL to throw him off. The way i see it going is SRL taking a UD winning 116-112 115-113. Reason being think he while land more then PBF and have the more meaning for punchs and throw more which while get him points. I think if PBF does try to go after SRL and press the action i can see him getting caught and hitting the canvas. He may of been able to adjust to Zab but the different between Zab and SRL is that SRL can adjust with the best of them. Think SRL has to much of advantage at teh weigth and takes a ud.

[Mr140]

Well teath i did like some of your points i jsut think SRL to much at welterweight for PBF.

Gotta go with Leornard.

Definitely have to go with Leonard in this one. Leonard started his career at 147 before moving up to 154, 160 and 168. Whereas Floyd is basically topping out at 147.

Leonard has just as much speed, and significantly more punching power.

[Mr140]

Yea it was his best weight and he is amoung the top welters.

True but maybe not the defensive qualities that Floyd has so that could make up for his so called "LACK" of power! I'm still sticking with SRL but I don't think it would be as much of a foregone conclusion as some of the other people on here!

I think people are overhyping Leonard's power, I am not saying he wasn't a good puncher, not at all, but he wasn't a huge puncher. I mean comparing Floyd at his prime weight (130) to Leonard at 147 I would say Floyd might have even hit harder p4p at his best weight. Leonard got two very impressive KO's against Hearns and Benitez, but Benitez took the fight on what? 2 weeks notice?, and after Leonard dominated early Benitez's defense was really giving Leonard problems, and Benitez is a great fighter, but Floyd is a superior version of him in almost every aspect. Hearns also wasn't in great shape at 147, nor did he have a solid chin. ALl in all Leonard did not possess SRR type power, but he was extremely fast, and a skilled fighter, but this fight is a lot closer than people make it out to be, I think Leonard's size helped him in fights against Duran, Hearns, Hagler where Floyd may have not faired as well, but against eachother its a great matchup technically.

Leonard because he wasn't AS big of a pussy as Floyd


I personally think Duran and Hearns would have beaten Floyd senseless but Ray was able to deal with them (for the most part) and therefore I give him the nod in this hypothetical matchup

[Dark Lord Al]

Mayweather is the better all round fighter for me , Leonard is the better welterweight.

[Markusdarkus]

Leonard does everything Floyd does but with power and pride.

[IronDanLaw]

Leonard was one of the best at 147.

Him by UD.

Assumin speed and chin equal there is still too much in favor for SRL at 147...height, power and footspeed go to SRL imo making it a clear unaminous decision for Sugar Ray Leonard...
