Man just stop. Seriously. This is the second time I've seen you post this type of bull****. First it was "Pernell Whitaker did nothing great other than make people miss with no offense". I've seen both fighters and with that said Pacquiao can not beat Leonard at 147. In no way,shape, or form. He's not knocking him out and he's damn sure not outpointing him. Leonard was even faster than Pacquiao and hit harder too. Leonard would have knocked Cotto out. Leonard is one of the best ever at 147 and no lower than top 3. He stopped fighters like Tommy Hearns, Wilfred Benitez and Duran. All three are all time greats. This is no knock on pac but he hasnt done **** at 147 to indicate he could beat Leonard or even compete with him.. Pacquaio and Duran are nothing alike. In terms of defense it's not even close. Duran would have chewed Cotto up and spit him out without a scatrch.You go the extremes the other way by underrating anybody who fought before the year 2000.
Poll: Pacquiao vs. Leonard in primes

That is what I think also. That is why I didn't get why he tried to compare Floyd and Leonard style.Leonard's style is very different from Mayweather's. Very different. Leonard has more fire power than Pac and would use it against him. Mayweather will fight a defensive fight. Leonard would fight an offensive fight.
He would get jabbed to death and caught with a quick flurry, and a big left hook and go down for the count.Comment

In reality. Leonard is too big god dammit he started at Welterweight and still competitive at 168. 147 is even a stretch for Pacquiao. Leonard by TKO
In Mythical p4p where they are the same size Pac by KO.Comment

You fail to realize that Leonard purposely fought Duran toe to toe the first time.Leonard by Ud. But still, you people are so rediculous when it comes to rating newer fighters.
Leonard lost to Duran, who was about Pacquiaos size and fought similarly (he was a tiny bit bigger, but not as quick). It's not like Leonard would dominate Pacquiao.
Pacquiao and Duran share very similar traits. Fast feet, tons of heart and a sneaky offense (lots of feints and head movement) .
If prime Leonard fights his own fight then he's unbeatable, not even Paul Williams could handle a prime Leonard(when he chooses to box).Comment

Apples is my boy, but he also forgot that Durans defense was vastly superior to Manny's.Comment

who said he would win? i said Leonard would win. I disagree with your rampant exaggeration though.Man just stop. Seriously. This is the second time I've seen you post this type of bull****.

just like "sweet pea would make a fool of him". Just like anybody with a name would "make a fool of him". FFS, even fighters around today, people say will make a fool of him.
People said cotto would stop him with the first punch he lands. Oscar would kill him. Now FMJ will make a fool of him. come fight night, FMJ is either going to win by the skin of his teeth or he's going to get straight up stopped.
Leonard wins a Ud over Pacquiao.
Yes Duran has better defense. But he wasn't better at everything. Many is quicker and uses even MORE angles than Duran, which is saying a lot, since Duran was very awkward to fight. Pacquiao is also a southpaw.
I know it seems like nuthugging but it get's irritating seeing every single fighter that Pacquiao is pitted up against as a "one sided domination".Last edited by them_apples; 12-17-2009, 03:05 AM.Comment

Hey what the fu_ck might as well
Match Marvin Hagler againts Mike Tyson. Leonard is too dam big and good for Pacquiao.
But what if Pacquiao is the same size as leonard? I'll bet my life on Pacquiao if they are the same size bro. One shot and it could change everything.Comment

Fair enough. But Tommy Hearns was bigger than Ray, hit harder than Pac (imo) and was a better boxer and Ray still overcame him. Pac is great, but he really hasn't done enough at 147 to warrant this comparison in my opinion.Comment
