Mayweather gets hit flush about as often as whitaker, meaning not that often. Mayweather resembles whitaker moreso than leonard because leonard as i said, was offense first.

      Not to mention, leonard did alot more showboating than mayweather, the comparison is kind of ****** in my opinion, they arent the same type of fighter other than theyre black, and theyre fast.
      Black, tell me this, wouldn't the caliber of competition Leonard fought be a little better equipped to hit him than the competition Mayweather has faced?

      Honestly, could u see Leonard losing to anyone on Floyd's resume? I certainly couldn't.

      Now ask yourself how Floyd would have fared against leonards resume? not well i'd imagine!

      That says it all!

      And for the record- Mayweather is one dimensional compared to Leonard!

        true, and it is totally based in fantasy! that should be obvious at this point given his lackluster performance against any semblance of quality since leaving 135!

          Questions like this are subjective, and most of the time, i dont answer them and dont care to, because the objective of you posing the question is to make give yourself some assurance that while mayweather is unbeaten right now, someone, from some era would have beaten him, thus making you feel better when you see him airing out his arrogance about how great he is. If you want to make threads like this reaching for all time greats mayweather cant/can beat then so be it, you all can rejoice in knowing that someday, somehow, mayweather will lose, until then, you can fantasize about him losing in threads like this.

            People have the sense that Floyd at Welter is large enough to even face SRL at Welter.

              Ok since you like putting down Mayweather im going to tell you some facts about Leonard.

              Leonard ducked Pryor he also ducked McCallum.

              He waited until he thought Hearns was shot after seeing what Barkley done to him and then Leonard got his ass outboxed and was gifted with a draw he even said later in his career he thought he lost.

              Leonard waited until Hagler was past his best until he gave him a match the fight should of happened in early 80s but it didn't because Leonard refused.

                The thing is about Hagler is that is a fight universally people believe he lost as well, how Leonard managed not to fight Aaron Pryor at 140 is still a mystery to be solved to this day.

                  thats horse**** black. Mayweather calls himself an ATG, so do his fans. Don't piss and moan when he pales to a true ATG in comparison!

                    I don't think Floyd would win, but I think he could put up somewhat of a fight.

                    Still I give it to lenoard though.

                    Also he's an All Time Great in his own sense. But would I put him in my top P4P list? Heck no.
