Leonard-Mayweather

[HaglerSteelChin]

SRL would Stop Mayweather JR the same Way he stopped Mayweather Sr. over 30 years ago. The only difference is that Jr's shaved head won't score points like Mayweather's Sr Medussa dreds was able to do.

No contest Leonard in five.

I think SRL would go for the mouth and try to beat it off Mayweather's face after the disrespect.

Agreed with the above poster.

I think that Leonard would of ground him down eventually, Floyd is just a fraction of a second slower with his hands at 147, doesn't throw that many punches, and moves to conservatively for me to think that he could pull this fight off against Leonard. Floyd loses close but clear over twelve and big time over fifteen.

Floyd would make Leonard look bad and give him a tough fight

I think you are underestimating SRL. He is extremely slick and is eon's above any fighter Floyd has ever faced. He wasn't a textbook guy, kind of reminds me of the Great Roy Jones Jr. as he was very difficult to figure out.

Watch his fight with Hagler and you'll see how slick he was even at higher weights with stronger punchers than Floyd.

I don't see how Mayweather wins this fight. I just don't.

[Schmerzen]

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.

i agree leonard would beat floyd at 147.
but i dont see much fighters beating the old PBF from 130-140.

Pryor, Chavez, Carlos Ortiz, Duran, Benny Leonard, Joe Gans, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Lew Tendler....I think cases can be made for all these guys and some possible others. At the same time I think Floyd has a shot against some of them too.
