I am still wondering where people keep getting the notion that most of these fighters would knock Floyd out.
The fact that Mayweather has never fought 15 rounds and Leonard stopping bigger guys that are better in that division such as Benitez, Hearns ect might have something to do with it.
The only thiong SRL has gainst Floyd is size...which means hit against Floyd...
Foyd 7-5.
Floyd has never Faced anyone with as much footwork ,hand speed ,power,Boxing ability ,durability ,stamina ,heart combined and u cant say he has
Ray Leonard was one helluva fighter mate ,Floyds inhability to engauge would'nt work against Leonard cause Leonard would not lead to him or start reaching with jab letting Floyd come over the top with his overhand rights & on top of that Leonard is quick enough to punch with Floyd & he has very good power ,if J L Castillo can land right hands against Floyd i dont think SRL would struggle to hit him
PBF has never faced a fighter with the same kinda phyisical attributes he has ,Judah is the closest but Judah has no heart ,stamina ,he is mentally weak and he dont hit as hard as Leonard & he is'nt as good at combination punching ,one of the most important factors in this fight is Leonard is the most intelligent fighter Floyd has fought

Floyd's stamina>>>>Benitez and Hearns
Floyd's defense>>>>Benitez and Hearns
I will ask again, where is the notion that Floyd would get Knocked Out come from?

People may argue with me, but I don't think that Floyd's defense is superior to Benítez's. First, Floyd sometimes uses a reflex base defense but combines it with the Hopkins-style "con-boxing" style.The Benítez defense is based on his reflexes, which, in my humble opinion, are the best the sport have ever seen.
On the poll. Leonard by KO.
I cannot see any fighter, from any era, defeating a "game" Leonard at WW.
A "let's brawl" Leonard could be defeated, obviously.

They are naturally bigger guys and harder punchers than Mayweather. They are more accomplished in the division and were both in their prime as well. Benitez and Hearns are superior to Mayweather in a few areas as well. No one knows how Mayweather would react to fighting in a 15 round fight, especially since Hatton even tired him out a bit and Oscar wore him out a bit as well. These are 12 round fights. Hell, Hearns would have great stamins if he fought today.
