      When Floyd overcomes a Tommy Hearns, Benitez, Hagler and Duran you MAY Be able to say he's more skilled. Leonard proved his skill set against the best of the best. In comparison, Floyd has fought second raters. How can you compare skillsets when their is such a big difference in the quality of opposition?

              I wasn't trying to bash anybody.. It's a legit question brought up in another thread.
              They where saying I was crazy to think Leonard was better then Mayweather.
              I love how you can't keep Cotto's name out of your mouth though

                Holy ****. You saw my arguement for Mayweather in the Duran thread didn't you? I was argueing Floyd's case more than anyone else. lol


                Honestly. Mayweather is great. Leonard is great. I think it comes down to Mayweather's weakness. Which is being beat to the punch. Leonard can definately do that. Where as Leonard's weakness is power punchers. Floyd is not that. With that said... as much as I like Floyd and argue his case. Leonard would beat him.

                Leonard has better footwork and more speed than Floyd. Where Floyd has better timing than Leonard. However, the agility level is about equal. So, with that said. Floyd would just get beat to the punch every time and Leonard would beat him by decision.

                I say decision because Floyd's chin and body is not suspect.

                      Of the two I prefer Floyd. I never particularly liked Ray all that much.

                      Ray was clearly the better fighter though, no question. Anyone who can't see that doesn't have eyes.
