Comparing Mayweather to Leonard!

[Easton Assassin]

I have seen many comparisons made btween the two, and i find them all to be completely inacurate-heres why.


leonard had it all. power, speed, defense, agility, stamina, chin, heart-the whole package.

Not only could he box and move but when he found himself outfoxed he could get down and dirty as he did many times in his career.

He fought in one of the best era's ever and still managed to shine above other greats.

He went from welter to light heavey winning titels and beat some legends along the way.

He cameback after a long layoff to defeat argueably the best middleweight champ in the history of the sport.

he is a living legend.



compare all this to a guy who has yet to face any great much less prime p4p guy since leaving lightweight 5 years ago. a guy who is without question a defensive genius, but other than that what is he?


Are there those among you that would literally rate a guy with no noteable wins on his resume since leaving lightweight the kind of accolades that Leonard earned by right?

opinions!

Leonard can do what Mayweather can do except he is bigger, faster, and stronger.

Leonard is clearly the better and more accomplished fighter.

I'm sure you'll have some Mayweatherites that will try and compare the two.

And btw, I dont even see Mayweather beating Benitez.

I don't think Leonard was as good as Floyd is, defensively.

I don't think Leonard was as good as Floyd is, defensively.

I remind you:
hearns, duran, hagler, benitez...list goes on and on.

yeah,i don't see it either,floyd is a boxing genius no doubt,but leonard would ud 100 times out of a 100 times for sure.

I see the comparison. But it's an unfair one. In order to make money. Leonard grew with the stars. He was a bit more nautral at the weights he fought. Mayweather is in an unnatural weight, chasing money. It's not fair to either guy, to be honest.

p4p is even hard to say because Mayweather didn't fight too many GREAT fighters at his best weight.. (135).

[WLAD OWNS]

There is no comparison, Floyd is nothing compared to Sugar Ray Leonard. SRL took risks in the ring and he actually had heart and balls.

i think its more shameful that people have to go as far as comparing legendary fighters from yesteryear to tear down a great fighter from our time now. its funny because i know 10 years from now when mayweather is gone, we will all wish we had him back, just like we wish we still had a hagler, a tyson, a hearns, etc. I think we dont spend enough time appreciating the great fighters we have now, and we concentrate more on hating than anything. Even someone like Vargas, someone i couldnt stand, in many ways i wish i would have appreciated him for what he was, seeing his last loss against mosley made me feel sorry that his career is basically finished and he had provided so much excitement being the bad guy in many of his fights.

Threads like this congest the board and in reality, just give everyone a chance to tear down mayweather and compare him to a fighter who already fought out his career.

thats not his point, leonard was hittable, im sure you have seen the fights. leonard would take some to get some.
