    I'm really surprised by some of you. I thought Leonard would be the landslide pick on the boards. I like Mayweather but there is no way imo he would beat Leonard at 154 or whatever. Leonard was much faster with his feet and I wont even debate that. I think punching power they could be the same but hand speed I also give that to Leonard slightly(could debate that one).

      Mayweather is going to pull a SRL here in a few months. He is playing chess, while others or playing checkers.
      Poor Miguel Cotto is still playing with legos.

        Why would you put the fight at one of Leonard's best weight, and a weight that Floyd fought ONCE. Floyd's WORST weight?

        That makes no sense.

        Floyd fought the vast majority of his career at 130/135.

            Cause Leonard cant get down to those weights. It would be hard to even get to 147 so thats why I decided if they were to really fight it would probably have to be at 154 maybe 147.

              That makes no sense. Floyd weighed 150 when he fought at 154...and he was back down to 147 at his next fight.

              This is Floyd vs a JWW:

                He is playing with tinker toys dipped in 110 octane mixed with some Torco, with a lighter...

                  It makes sense. Im not talking about Floyd I'm talking about Leonard. The weight you want him to fight floyd is at 130, Leonard won gold at 140 and then once he got into pro boxing he started at welter. No way he could get down to 130/135.

                    Just because Floyd doesn't dance around a lot doesn't mean Leonard is faster on his feet. Floyd just doesn't need to dance around like Leonard.

                      No way does floyd match up against leonard.He fought very dangerous guys in hearns,duran,hagler.Floyd has never fought this kind of dangerous competition.
