    I gotta lean Leonard based off the fact that 147 is Floyd's 4th weight class.

      no ****, that's what i've been saying. 147 is floyd's 3rd best weight class and people actually think he'd beat 2 of the greatest welterweights EVER???

        Neither of them would’ve been able to lay a glove on, Terence “TBE” Crawford.

          Imo, Srl, is the faster, more devastating puncher of the two.
          Because there is a thing called TEMPO you mongrel. You dont always throw at your fastest or you don't always throw with all of your power (unless your Cleneloterol). YDKSAB which is why you have Hagler vs Bum as an avatar. Unlike you, I don't do opinions I do facts.

            Floyd does best against slow starters, but Ray was a quick starter with fast hands who could match him in the determination department. Ray’s stratospheric self-belief also rivaled Floyd’s. I could see the first half of the fight looking a lot like Mayweather - Maidana I, with Ray pushing the pace hard and Mayweather doing just enough to deal with it and stay a half step or two ahead of Ray. In the latter half of the fight, I could see Ray solving the Mayweather puzzle. Ray wasn’t bothered too much by the Philly Shell defense, and I could see him putting together some upstairs - downstairs combinations that would begin to chip away at Floyd’s punch defense. Ray was a true blue 15 round fighter and a brutal finisher. I think Mayweather would make a strong showing of himself, I just do not see it going the distance.

              As much as I was a fan of Floyd as a fighter it's hard to say he could have beaten Sugar Ray I would probably bet on Leonard winning a decision

              People saying he would have knocked Floyd out I don't see it at all Floyd had incredible stamina and conditioning and could take some seriously heavy shots flush and recover fast so no way he gets laid out but probably out fought over the distance

                Well the fact is Srl is a faster, harder puncher than Zab Judah would ever be. Has proven it against fellow all time greats to boot. You look weak just comparing the two.

                Nobody has time to debate your 3 speed tempo, ceiling fan analysis. Either you the faster guy or not.

                So, when they are at their slowest, Zab is faster huh.
                Like who really gives a f##k about that but a ydksab numbnut trying to come off like the be all and end all.

                So what would you rather be numbnut. The faster guy when you are sitting on the stool in between rounds or the faster guy in the 12th round going to to toe

                  I never said harder, I also never said slowest. You clearly have a problem with reading comprehension.



                  Additionally, YDKSAB so keep sounding ****** with your shithouse avatar of bummer Mugabi.
