Pacquiao vs. Duran and Mayweather vs. Sugar Ray Leonard?
What Happens?

Duran is smarter and has better skills than alot give him credit for. Pac is hittable and Duran will hit him. Let's not forget he KO'd a huge middleweight in Iran Barkley. He also beat SRL in their first fight, and went the distance with MMH in a brutal fight. Duran beats Pac.

SRL beats Floyd. SRL is a big WW. He has a good chin, speed, great boxing skills. He and Floyd have similar attributes. I say Floyd's ring IQ is better, but SRL is bigger, has power and puts combos together better. Given his speed of hand and foot and his size he will land those combos on Floyd.....that's how you fight Floyd......combos + volume (in an intelligent manner ofcourse). He also has power. I say he beats Floyd in a chess match in a close, but clear decision. Say 7rds to 5.

Leonard would beat the hell out of floyd. I swear there was one interview where leonard said he'd have more trouble dealing with pacquiao's style than he said he would with floyd jr. Maybe because he had no trouble kicking floyd sr.'s ass which has the same fighting style as floyd jr.

excellent insights and analysis as always Well done JC

Still say Money is faster and more versatile and knows the game just aswell as SRL.

If he beats Pacquiao then its proven, but I'd back Floyd.

Good post, I agree with Duran beating Pacquiao. He was a very good boxer although extremely crude and wild which would compliment Pacquiao style well. I think Leonard-Mayweather would have some excellent exchanges if Mayweather lost early rounds. It could be similar to Leonard-Benitez, where both guys got very aggressive towards the late rounds despite being fairly patient fighters.
