Mayweather vs Sugar Ray Leonard??

[jthoang]

When I created this thread everybody said Leonard was just too big for Floyd.

[boxingfan4life]

This is a ****** thread!!!! Of course...

Mayweather is the best!!!! He has 0 in loses!!

that doesnt make him the best. im a floyd fan but him being undefeated in my opinion doesnt make him the best fighter ever. it makes him the best in current era but not the best ever. he would have to do what ali, leonard, and robinson did and thats fight the best competition out there. until he fights and defeats some legit WW's i wont consider him as an ATG

I wouldn't say that Hearns had "horrible" legs:

I seriously doubt Mayweather would deal too well with Hearns either.

Me neither! IHave him beating Duran boxing on the move but he's the only one out of the fab 4 I have him beating

As already stated though, it's not like Hearns was completely dominating Leonard, and Hearns was a monster at welterweight. Hearns was a really good boxer, far from a horrible one, that's why his monster right was so effective he could set it up with is boxing skills. Mayweather has none of the advantages Hearns did that allowed him to box Leonard.

Floyd has plenty of things in his arsenal that Tommy lacked. It doesnt mean Floyd would beat Hearns because boxing is about matchups. Hearns knocked out Duran but Leonard and Hagler didnt, yet both beat Hearns. Its about matchups. Here are some things Floyd has over Tommy that could make the difference in a fight with SRL

1. Conditioning - Floyd is and always in tremendous shape
2. Defense - Its not even close. Hearns didnt even learn the basics such as holding when he got stunned. He looked like a amateur
3. Legs - Floyd's not going to be stumbling around the ring all off balance. Even though Tommy was boxing Ray his legs looked like they were ready to go at a any moment.

4 Inside Fighting - This is where Ray in both fights had success against Tom my. This is where Floyd is better because he is able to fight close range, yet still make you miss and counter off of that. Floyd can fight Ray middle of the ring and stay close and still make Ray miss and counter.

Ray even in the Terry Norris fight was outboxed and it looked just like the Hearns fight. I know some will say he was much older but when he faces a boxer with speed he falls way behind on points and has to be the aggressor.

[TheGreatA]

Just laughable to be bringing up the Terry Norris fight. Leonard was forced to be the aggressor against Hearns because he was facing disadvantages in height and reach.

Last time I checked Floyd Mayweather wasn't 6'1 with a 78 inch reach, he's 5'8 with a 72 inch reach.

Leonard didn't exactly need to run face first into Benitez's punches:

[incredible]

How do you lot see the fight going?

Wow are you serious? Who would win between Leonard and jokeweather... Is this a joke? If history has any indictaion of what would happen... Look no farther then what SRL did to his dad... SRL would do the same thing he did to his dad back in the day ... beat that ass!

I'm in love with Floyd Mayweather Junior, Blah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBlah, blah blah blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah....and BLAH!!

Take a minute, please, to remove Mayweather's cum off your chin, his prick from your throat, and go kill yourself.

Every argument you've presented has been absurd, and simply shows your lack of experience and knowledge of the sport, and your complete bias towards FMJ.

Ray would be a very tough for Floyd to beat, however it is not impossible for Floyd to win. Leonard would have to be a nice favorite though, it would be an interesting fight a nice contrast of styles.

This fight kinda proves my point. Ray's speed was in volume for example end of the 9th round when he unleashes a combo that looks pretty. But his accuracy when making a guy miss and immedietely countering is not as good or as quick as Floyd or a prime Roy Jones. He wore down Floyd's dad with volume but his accuracy was aiiight at best. I thought Ray looked sloppy in that fight and thought Floyd sr won 3 rounds.

Floyd jr is much better than his dad and a much better offensive fighter.
