    I don't see the point of this thread since Leonard would beat any of the welterweights today. And anyone at 154. Probably 160 too.

      Exactly, Leonard was good enough to win fights without a weight advantage

      But Floyd would not only be fighting Leonards skills but also his weight, height advantage

        No question he would beat any 160 pounder today. Think SRL vs Pavlik, Abraham, Winky Wright. He wins easily, boxes the **** out of them. ****, he probably would have even beat Bernard Hopkins.

          I just meant that Leonard was a bigger guy. I think Floyd would take this though at 147.

            Like PAC is a featherweight and Cotto/Mosley are Welterweights. That's double the gap yet a fight between these fighters are becoming possible.

            but yeah, SRL would've TKO floyd.

                    Pac get destroyed by any legit WW for the same reason this thread is ******.

                    weight/size actually matters when it comes down to it it matter more than skill when you are talking 3-4 divisions apart in natural size.

                    Example: Cotto couldn't beat bute, no matter how much better people say he is Bute is going to be landing punches with 175ish lbs behind them to Cotto's 155ish lbs.

                    Cotto is going to be used to taking Welterweight punches, bute is going to be used to taking SMW punches. Add al that up and it gets messy for the smaller guy.

                      Yeh but Pac wants to fight at Light Welter and Welter and has made that clear by vacating his lightweight title.

                      Floyd has never really wanted to fight higher than Welter and thats after moving up 4 weight classes.
