How good would Ray Leonard be in this era? The last 8 years

[tredh]

People kill with overrating fighter from back in the day. That **** tired and played out. Truth be told only a very small amount of fighters could fight in any era and still be considered great or even be competitive.

The only thing fighters did back in the day that they don't do now is fight more often.

He would beat every single one of them even Mayweather.

[Stickman]

he beats them all except Mayweather.

He beats Mayweather, too. It's guaranteed he'd land on Mayweather, and he had much, much heavier hands than Floyd, too (who, I believe, is kind of chinny). What it would boil down to is Floyd trying to stay away and counter, while Ray comes forward, lands his jab constantly, throws body shots, and tries to get Floyd to open up. Floyd might catch Ray a couple of times coming in, but Ray would most likely take a decision, or if Floyd opened up and traded a little, Ray would knock him into next ****ing year.

Ray Leonard fought 40 times.

And it's not like he is from some ancient era of fighters...

this isn't some fighter from the early 1900's, were talking about the 80's man. WTF. You don't even know what you're talking about leonard didn't even fight that often, he only had 40 fights by the time he retired.

[S.G.]

he's 2nd or 3rd greatest ever in my books so he'd do pretty well to say the least i reckon lol

leonard and mayweather would be the best match up on the list. forrest isnt easy though.

i think ray beats them all honestly. he was as fast or faster than floyd- and more pop. he wouldnt beat his ass the same way he did floyd's dad- but he would still win.

and by the way i reccomend everyone checks out that ass beating floyd sr got from ray- very entertaining and kind of interesting watching ray break that defensive apart like its nothing

He'd do well in any era IMO. He was a great fighter.

WHAT? Roy was fighting in 89' and winning. He's not like some early 1900's fighter. He's a modern fighter, his technique is amazing few people surpass it. Do you honestly think Roy would Ray Leonard wouldn't be competitive? What about Hearns, Hagler, Duran all in Leonards time Ray fought 39 times only. Hopkins, Calzaghe, Pacquiao and alot more fighters fought more than leonard.

Any idea where I can find that fight? It's one of his I don't have, I haven't seen it since it was live in ABC's Wide World of Sports, back in what..'79?? I remember it being a thorough ass-kicking, but I'm too old to remember many details.
