Comparing Mayweather to Leonard!

[Wiley Hyena]

lol, Pryor would have destroyed mayweather aswell! If i had the time to dig up all the greats between 130 and 140, i'm sure there are many that would utterly destroy Mayweather, but off the top of my head?

Mosley would have crushed him at 135.

some names that would have been a stretch for mayweather to beat are as follows:

benny Leonard
Carlos ortiz
Joe Gans
Ike Williams

truth be told Mayweather is maybe not even top ten ATG at lightweight, much less overall!

Tszyu was undisputed champ at 140, but he was also a champ at 135, if I recall. Prime Tszyu would have destroyed Floyd at 135, 140, and 147. ****, I even think prime De La Hoya would have taken Floyd out at 135. Castillo did in fact beat Floyd at 135. There are lots of names to put into that hat.

But, lets give credit where credit is due....at 130 Floyd was dominant.

arguello held his own against Pryor. What else needs to be said.

Like i said there are many that would thrash Mayweather when u get down to it.

No, it's only someone biased like "u", who could find "many that would thrash mayweather"

or "not even top 10 at lightweight"

I wonder what the ****er did to you...

Yes he is annoying,

yes he is a defensive fighter,

yes his best asset is shutting down his opponents' offense, which does not make for slugfests

yes he is a businessman (like Leonard btw)

He still is one of the best lightweights to enter a ring. If you do not see it, well I am sorry for you.

he hasn't done anything to me personally except defraud me of pay per veiw dollars promising a war and delivering a marathon.

that said, my angst is directed towards hi gay ass comments about being ATG and his fans lack of discression when licking his sack!

It's sickening!

For topics like this, I wish Dios was still here. It would make it a lot more interesting.

Nothing to compare.

Leonard fought extremely talented fighters, while
Mayweather has not.

You cant compare DLH, Castillo, Corrales to Hearns, Benitez, Duran, Hagler.

You just cant!!!!

I dont recall Kostya ever being a champ at 135lbs, who did he beat to get the title? or maybe it was one of these cheap ass belts like...NABA or whatever the hell it is. WBC international, those kind.

its not really fair to throw Floyd against Leonard's opponents, seeing as he cant make himself higher than 150lbs even if he tries while Leonard was a pretty big Welterweight. so I dunno what yall are getting at.

and regardless of criticism about his opponents, what Floyd has been doing is extremely rare. hes been undisputed champ at 130, 135, is fighting the 140 guy soon, 147, and fought arguably the best at 154, although nobody really knows who the hell the champ is at that weight anyway...and this is a guy that cant make himself weigh more than 149lbs in a sport where pretty much everyone cuts a ton of weight.
I dont put him at the same level of Leonard, but what Floyd has been doing hasnt been done much throughout boxing history. and the only people that have...are ATGs. but we'll just have to wait and see when his career is over.

he wasn't the lineal champ at 130 or 135. Never mind undisputed....
