Leonard vs Mayweather Sr (love this fight)

[SplitSecond]

You can't say that because SRL completely embarrassed Floyd Sr that he would beat Pacquiao. Floyd Sr is slow, has no power and has terrible offense and defense. He was literally a punching bag in that fight and SRL doesn't have extraordinary handspeed.

Pac vs SRL would be a great fight but Pac has alot of advantages like faster handspeed, more power and better head movement. Footwork is a push. If SRL tried to trade with Pacquiao like he did with Floyd Sr he would get KTFO.

wtf?......and i am not a fan of sugar ray leonard, at all.

this 4 odd minute length youtube clip is about roughly the most time check hooks has ever spent watching a sugar ray leonard fight, don't give it too much thought. that faggot instinto is in this thread too. they'll both tell you time and again pacquiao will never lose to any ATG. their god pacquiao don't bleed.

Floyd did not really deserve to be in the ring with SRL even as a sparring partner. You could hardly call this a fight more of a workout for SRL on a human punching bag.

I could watch hours of Floyd Snr getting systematically whupped by Leonard and never get bored.

I know we've all seen this, but damn it's always good to bring it back up. Leonard was really a complete fighter... turned into a complete animal when he had to - 1 objective here... KILL! lol.



To anyone saying " This is what pac will do to floyd!" Umm.. no. THis was a different beast, stylistically. Leonard didn't do what a lot of fighters do today and that's pay too much respect for the roll. Pacman doesn't burry his head in anyones chest and sure as hell isn't as good an inside fighter as floyd. BUT..Fighters usually abandon their right hands against the roll today, afraid that they will be penalized for 1. Rabbit Punching or 2. Hitting their opponent on the back. Hence why a decent jab or lead hand from the conventional stance (or southpaw, lead power hand > lead left hand) is a big requirement in successfully getting around it.

Leonard ignored it though.. Hitting FLoyd in the back of the head, lower back and kidneys every chance.

leonard beat the brakes off sr. and made him truly look like the fool he is.

lol dman mayweather sr. just might be the ugliest dude in boxing - and there are a lot of ugly ass cats in boxing.

[Drunk Punch]

A master at work. To see him systematically breaking down Mayweather's defensive shell was a thing of beauty. If only Leonard was around to whup everyone at 147 today.

If you watch the video SRL was not coming in behind the jab and was just unloading on Floyd sr without anything coming back. One check hook and he would've been dropped by Pac. At one point SRL threw like 6 hooks in a row with the same hand. Thats how you get KTFO. Ask Hatton about the slip under right hand that ended his career.

I always tell people that Leonard could possibly be the best fighter that ever lived.He was the total package of speed, power, and skill. He could fight coming forward as well as going backwards on his toes. I know most would disagree, but I think he beats Ray Robinson.( I think Hagler beats Robinson) I can't see anyone at welterweight in this day and time beating him either.The same way he beat Floyd Sr is the same way I see him beating Floyd Jr. Pacquiao would be too small for him. He would be too smart for Shane Mosley. Put a picture in the dictionary of a fighter and it would be Sugar Ray Leonard.

Leonard is one of my favourite fighters of all time simply because in my eyes he is the closest thing to a complete fighter I can think of.
