Floyd Mayweather Jr. v/s Sugar Ray Leonard at @147

[Sweet Pete]

SRL has EVERY advantage other than defense. I see no way Floyd wins.

[El Dominicano]

Leonard would take Floyd. The only edge Floyd had is defense, but Leonard does everything Floyd does but has the power, and i don't see Floyd being able to hang with the likes of Hearns or Hagler the way SR did.

Please don't kill me for this! For I still have not voted yet. But in all Honesty! Mayweather does better against Hagler and Duran then SRL did. He won't do as good against Hearns as SRL did. I can tell u that...From what I have seen. But if any of those punches of Hagler/Hearns Land then the'll be problems. I also have to disagree with "I don't see Floyd being able to hang with the likes of Haggler/Hearns" Because PBF defense could hang with the best of em.

147 Floyd gets KO'd by natural Middleweight Hagler. And nah, Floyd gets taken by Duran, at least a prime Duran.

Perhaps you just don't know how big(or good) Hagler was, it is a mis-match between him and Floyd. A literal mis-match.

PBF has no chance against Hearns at all, nor Hagler. He at least has a chance against Duran, but I would pick a prime Duran at LW at least to win. I will get into that if you wish.

Antonio Margarito came up from the 135 pound division.

And floyd fans need to accept the facts, Mayweather is a legit welterweight. He was bigger then Mayweather and looked the same as Delahoya. Stop with the excuses for Mayweather.


For the record, Ray Leonard would be too much for floyd. People who talk about defence and forget to mention that Leonard fought and beat one of the greatest defensive fighters ever in Wilfredo Benitez. Ray would ko floyd.

Antonio Margarito weighed under 135 at age 16, 24 hours before the fight.
Floyd Mayweatehr weighed under 106 at age 16, the day of the fight.

Are 30 pounds enough to call bull****, or not?

Mayweather is NOT a welterweight.

It is very simple,
he weighs less than all other welters,
he is shorter than ALL other welters except Cotto.

He could have been a small, legit welter in the era of weigh in on the day of the fight, but note that he would have still been able to start his career at 135.

In the era of weigh in before the fight, Mayweather is not a welterweight.

I was pointed the fact that Margarito was a PRO FIGHTER that came up from lightweight. Sure it mean little cause he grew into a welterweight as has floyd grown into a welterweight.

Floyd has little to no fat so don't tell me he isn't a real welterweight, he is 30 years old and was struglling to make weight at 130, the guy has a big frame.

In that era, floyd today would fit fine as a welterweight back then they weren't Margarito, Williams big type builds.

Why is it Corey SPinks can move to middleweight yet, floyds fans are scared for him to fight at middleweight?

Spinks is 5-10.

Floyd is 5-8....if that.

Get off his back and go watch your maragrito youtube vids.
