Leonard vs Mayweather

Maidana used Floyd as a punch bag for 6 rounds before getting a little tired (even hitting a heavy bag that don't punch back will tire you eventually) and allowing Floyd to nearly claw his way back. But SRL wouldn't tire after pummelling Floyd for the first 6th rounds. Hed continue to do it for the next 4 rounds as well. Floyd figuring SRL out and winning the last two rounds. Floyd is known for figuring his opponents out, but really it is his opponents tiring from using Floyd as that punch bag. Even though SRL was used to 15 rounds, he would get tired after 10 rounds and get bored.

Had this discussion many times but I think Leonard is all wrong for Floyd. Bigger, faster, highly skilled, throws a load of combinations, get's in and out, hard to time, very good jab. I think Floyd's see's the final bell but loses a wide decision.

To be honest I got to go with Floyd. I think Floyd's ability to stand in front of a person and slip punches would be key in this fight. I think Leonard would be on his toes and Floyd would be the stalker. With Floyd's ability to cut the ring off and slip Leonard's punches gives him the slight edge IMO.

SRL takes it , Floyd never used his skills on someone of SRL 's caliber. He would be to big, to strong, to fast for Floyd.

Leonard would decision him, Hearns would leave him on the canvas. Floyd is #1 in this era, but Hearns, Leonard, and Haggler were truly something else.

Leonard easy. But he is too big, Floyd wouldn't sign the contract. he might if he'll change gloves :boxing:

Mayweather was prime at 130, Leonard 147. Do the math.Math is not your forte. Mayweather was in his prime when he fought at Welterweight from as early as 2006.

If Leonard and Mayweather fought in their prime who would win? I would take Leonard becuz he has speed and power. http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/05/07/sugar-ray-leonard-floyd-mayweather-prime-boxing-fight It would end similar to Floyd Sr vs Leonard shoulder roll didn't faze Leonard

Mayweather was prime at 130, Leonard 147. Do the math.

Leonard was bigger, faster, and stronger. Leonard faced extremely fast, solid defensive, and hugely powerful fighters. He faced 4 ATG's in an era that had the greatest welterweights in history. He would have UD'd or late TKO'd Mayweather. Hearns would have dropped Mayweather cold. Mayweather would under no uncertain terms be able to box Hearns on the outside and unlike Mayweather, Hearns could fight on the inside in the middle of the ring. If Floyd thinks Judah, Corley, and Mosley hit, he would not have known what hit him against Hearns. And Hearns had blazing speed. Hearns KO 2 over Mayweather. Duran would have smothered Floyd. 1980 Montreal Duran had solid defense, unlike Maidana and was very fast and had better angles than Maidana. Duran by wide UD. Benitez would have probably had a draw with Mayweather. Benitez's speed and defense would have been very difficult for Mayweather. Even Cuevas stood a chance because of pure power and a crowding style. Cuevas broke turnbuckles, ribs, jaws, collar bones. His attack was brutal.

Leonard easy. But he is too big, Floyd wouldn't sign the contract.

Leonard TKO's Floyd within 8 rounds max.
