Floyd would dominate the SRL that beat Benitez

[Bhopreign]

I don't really think there is a case here. Floyd is past his prime. Really. He's 33 years old, and he's moved from JLW to WW. Is he great? Sure. Does him beating a 39 year old Mosley mean he could beat a prime Leonard? Not too likely.

Age dont determine prime, Floyd looked better last night than Ive ever seen him look before, thats even at 130,135,140 or any weight. Hes strong as a ox.

You guys do know that Benitez was a great slick boxer right?

He could arguably be in the top 10 greatest defensive fighters of all time.

Do you guys even know who Wilfredo Benetiz is?

Perhaps that Leonard, but remember that was the Leonard that was having his very first champinship fight. It was his first jump up in class to world class opposition.

Leonard managed to get ahead on the scorecards and TKO a undefeated defensive master, who had almost 2 times the experience. You act as if he looked terrible aganst Benitez when really he looked fine, he was just fighting a tricky opponent.

You can say he would beat Leonard but to dominate him is just ******, I think the Leonard that beat Hearns would beat Mayweather so it's all guesswork.

I always thought Leonard was a bad matchup for Floyd moreso than even Hearns at 147.

Hearns if Floyd gets inside his best range can do work on Hearns that is easier said than done but Floyd could possibly pull that out.

Against Leonard who is more versitile it is tough to say, I think the fight would swing back and forth, plus Leonard being bigger. That would be a hell of a fight to watch though.

Keep in mind that Leonard fought Floyd Sr. so if he came up against Floyd he would have seen kind of what he does, Jr. is better than pops but that experiance would be quite useful to Leonard in a fight with Jr.

Maybe its just me, but outside of Ray's flashy combination punches im not overwelmed with his speed. Especially counterpunching.

He had a poorer version of Floyd defense, I dont think thats a good description of what all Floyd can do.

Homie SRL knocks floyd out. He is faster than floyd and hit a lot harder than mosley.

[RayLeonard82]

SRL had some problems with Larry Bonds (10 rounds) Kalule (9 rounds) Benitez [15 rounds}, Floyd's Father (10 rounds) and he just knocks out Floyd jr who's 10 times better than all of the above. Wow

I can't see SRL knocking Floyd out, Floyd's got a great chin.
