Leonard pre-retina.
My money is on Leonard, but with doubts.

Leonard for me far to agressive -
Leonard beat both Benitez and Hearns, both who were far better welters than Floyd has proven to be.
Floyd doesn't have the power to keep Ray away and pot shotting won't cut the mustard against Leonard. Ray is to fast (compared to every other Floyd opponent), to strong, to skilled and to tough both mentally and physically. Leonard by convincing UD.Comment

It depends on what Leonard era.
1979-82 SRL - Leonard Wins
1987 from retirement SRL - Pick em fight
Post-LaLonde SRL - Floyd WinsComment

Obviously we'd be comparing a welterweight Leonard since Floyd has only had 1 fight above 147. I think Ray would beat him at 154 also and anything above since I don't believe, and Floyd has never proven he could carry that weight and be effective. Leonard was just the superior fighter in my opinion.Comment

Tough fight, I edge Leonard......but he wouldn't look great in the fight. Workrate and the edge in speed being the factors.Comment

Floyd would make Leonard look bad and give him a tough fight, people underestimate how good Floyd really is, plus he lifts to the level of his opponent always.
Close fight, Leonard might edge it based on workrate and aggression, but I have no doubt that Floyd would mix it with him and give him a hard fight.Comment

If Leonard could get by the likes of Hagler, Hearns and Duran - Then he would find a way to get passed Mayweather as well.Comment

Mayweather is not a true WW in my mind. Leonard is too big for little Floyd and although Floyd makes him miss a ton of punches (Think Benitez fight) he still overwhelms a trigger shy Floyd and gets a clean UD.Comment
