    Anyway, Sin what do you mean by better? Just a better fighter? because if that is the question I'd say Floyd. Now if your talking more accomplished I'll say SRL

      Floyd. Leonard was a great fighter and had some skills, no doubt. What puts Floyd clearly ahead is he crushes Leonard in the mental game. There's no way Floyd would ever let an inferior fighter like Duran get in his head and goad him into giving up all his physical advantages like Leonard did in the first Duran fight. Floyd's too mentally strong for that. If they could have fought, Floyd would be the one to get in Duran's head. He would clown Duran starting the second the fight got announced and Duran would be beaten before they even stepped in the ring.

              Actually your wrong about that. He got goaded into a brawl and gave up all his physical advantages against Castillo and got a gift win. Now he was lucky that Castillo was not Duran, or he would have probably gotten dropped and definately would have lost. Floyd vs Sugar Ray would have been a great fight. I voted for Sugar Ray, but I'd say even. Ray had better offense, Floyd had better defense. I think the trouble Floyd had with Zab would show against leonard. I think Leonard would win Prime for Prime.

                I agree with you. Mayweather would have beaten him, but Pryor would probably have his moments.

                  i love both fighters. i miss the mayweather that fought ndou. that mayweather was exciting. his style in his final fights were ok but he went way to safe closing in on his "retirement" to preserve his record. the old more aggressive mayweather that was still elusive counter punching and stepping forward vs a prime leonard would haev been one of the greatest fights ever seen. i think leonard would take it though.
