Ray Leonard versus Manny at 147

[Larry the boss]

Who wins and why

[Boxingtech718v2]

SRL finishes this fight at his leisure. He could KO Pac brutally early or toy with him dance and pick him apart. Whatever suits his fancy.

[Sugar Sting Ray]

Leonard was a HUGE welterweight who debuted at welterweight in his first fight and fought as high as a catchweight of 165 lbs. to win his 175 lbs. title against LeLonde.

Pacquiao is a TINY welterweight who only weighed 145 lbs. when he dominated 168 lbs. Margarito.

The only way a fight between Pacquiao and Leonard could possibly be fair would be for their fight to be held at a catchweight in the same way that Leonard's fight for the 175 lbs. title was fought at a catchweight of 165 lbs., 10 pounds lower than the actual title.

A 144 lbs. catchweight, similar to the original catchweight Mayweather/Marquez was originally supposed to be fought at (before Floyd showed up at 158 lbs. to Marquez's 142 lbs.), would probably be a fair catchweight for two all time great top 5 pound for pounders Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquiao to fight.

Pacquiao wins at a fair catchweight. Leonard wins at an unfair 147 lbs.

This is a tough one. Especially if we're talking no OSDT, just straight up...

I would have to look at more footage of how Leonard fought going backwards to make a real assessment.

Call me crazy, but I think manny (no OSDT), would be the stronger fighter coming forward. It would be a bad move for Leonard to try to bully pac at this weight... I do remember RL liked to throw combo's. This could leave him open...

I gotta go with Pac by SD....

If we're countng OSDT, I'll have to see how Manny performs before I can make that assessment...

Oh, at 147 lbs., Leonard would win a close decision if he moved the way he did in the second Duran fight.

If Leonard fights Pacquiao the way he fought Duran in their first fight, then Pacquiao wins by a wider margin than Duran did due to the fact that Pacquiao is a faster, stronger, and southpaw version of Duran.

Duran was Terminator I. Pacquiao is Terminator II.

This is a complete domination by Leonard. He KO's him easy.

[Khalid X]

This would look alot like Duran vs Leonard 1, except I see Manny cutting Leonard up on his way to a 9-3 type decision.

Leonard isn't ****ing with this version on Pacquiao.
