I think Floyd is physically stronger (different from punching power). More coordinated, better defense, much better upper body movement, and is the smarter fighter.
Floyd, SD.
Are Benetiz, Duran, Hagler or Hearns as skilled as Floyd? Hell no.
Are Canelo, Guerrero, Cotto, Ortiz as skilled as Ray? Hell no.
My point is, you can't just flat out say Sugar dominates Floyd based on the fact that Sugar was able to beat his opponents. Like it or not, Floyd presents a tougher fight for him than any of those guys because he is a more skilled fighter than those guys, as does Leonard for Floyd.
Benitez is a skilled slick defensive boxer, and Leonard was too fast for him
Hearns, who I guarantee would murder Floyd, brings problems that Floyd couldn't dream of giving any fighter, not even Marquez... And Leonard found a way
Duran is slick and powerful skilled legend, higher on any rating system than Floyd ever will be
Who can't decide who would based on who they've fought, but u can make a guess based on who they beat
Floyd never fought anybody as skilled as the people Leonard beat, or as Leonard... Leonard has fought the absolute best of his era and came out on top
so basically you spend the weeks/months prior to the fight talking about how Matthysse is going to kick his @ss. Then in one post you make that comment that you were just trolling just to have an out. Nice one ! Basically we shouldn't take you seriously then.
Um, no. I never said that as an out. I was one of the few guys that was bigging up Danny and calling him massively underrated in the Garcia/Rios thread.
Remember when people were saying he hasn't fought no one, and Khan was a lucky win? Who was the one saying that his wins against Campbell and Holt proved that he belongs among the top fighters?
P.S. Why you so mad?
Could've sworn I said this.

Floyd wins. Leonard's 70s/80s speed, skill and strength wouldn't be enough. Floyd is a prime example of the advances in training. He works longer and harder then anyone else, and has the skill to go with it.
Floyd's father taught Mayweather that style of boxing as a child and who beat Floyd's father?

Says the guy with Mayweather GIFS and avatars coming out of everywhere. Blasphemy. No chance Mayweather is tougher than Duran, Hearns or Hagler. NO WAY.
Mayweather Jr would be the toughest fight of Leonards career.
why do you have Garcia as your avatar? Weren't you saying he was gonna get his @ss kicked?
And Leonard would have beat floyd.
Could've sworn I said this.
Hell yeah. It's a fun time for boxing, that's for sure.
And yeah, anything can happen. I don't underestimate Danny in the slightest. I might troll on occasion and say Lucas will make Danny piss his pants in the 1st round, but honestly, it really is a 60/40, or 50/50 type fight if you really break it down.

Fight is a toss up. Period. Mayweather Jr would easily be the toughest fight of Leonards career and vice versa.
He is nowhere near as hard as someone like Hearns, Hagler or Duran.

floyds a bit more agile being a natural LW - Jr ww at best. Leonard is bigger, stronger, more natural at the weight 147+.
floyd fights a safety first fight, Leonard looks to do damage. both are hard to hit.
very close fight, but Leonard is no Canelo. I'd still have to go with SRL because Floyd struggled hard with Canelo.
