Wow, I'm impressed. Leonard just gained a fanboy!

See, not all of us old farts are senile.

With this footage of him, i'm convinced he would lose to both whitaker and duran. He is good, but i think they are superior.

From the way that fight looked, it seems as if he probably could box Duran's ears off. Whitaker, I don't know.

duran would constantly put pressure on him, i know which style beats my boy pernell whitaker, and benny's style doesn't do it.

A fast swarmer is the type of person that beats pernell. Chavez was a swarmer but he was slow as ****, thats why pernell schooled him. Benny Leonard has skills as proven in this video, but i see nothing about him thats gonna bother whitaker, nothing!

Introduction

great video, he's truly one of the greatest fighters of all time.

[K-DOGG]

Leonard, I think, could, as Butterfly put it, "box Duran's ears off. Of course, I'll also give my boy Roberto a damn good chance of beating him. But those two's styles would have made for a damn good fight for sure.

Whitaker? I love Pete and am one of his biggest fans. I followed him from the Haugen fight on and he had no equals in his era, IMO, and is an all-time great. However, Leonard had the skills to beat him; but it would be a bad style clash if you like action fights. It would be a complex chess match that only the true patrons and even experts of the sport could fully appreciate. It could go either way.

Leonard wasn't like Pep or Whitaker, Benny had pop in his punches so he could hold people off, if not knock them out. I would love to see more footage of him myself, but not sure how much is out there.

Just remember, Ray Arcel thought high of him, that should say something.
