        Cool story

        But I'm far from a Floyd fan, but I just see Mayweather as the smarter fighter, and just overall more skilled than Leonard.

        Leonard is bigger and the better athlete, but in a boxing match, which is what that fight would turn into......I just see Mayweather out boxing Ray Leonard.

        However, the one old school fighter that would be a nightmare to Floyd's style is Tommy Hearns. I just don't see Floyd having an answer for Hearns overhand right.

              let's see he lost to a smaller one dimensional brawler(duran), he lost to a guy with a glass jaw(norris), and he got knocked out by pillow punching camacho. goat? sounds like a bum to me. mayweather would school him then everybody would say oh i knew that would happen after the fight happened!

                Ray Robinson lost to a plotter in Jake Lamotta, what is your argument now?

                  Dude, Mayweather would get destroyed by Terry Norris!!! The Leonard that fought Camacho was like the Ali that fought Holmes, over the hill and done! Floyd, Jr fights just like his dad, Floyd, sr, and we all know what Ray did to him. Lil Floyd would make it more competitive, but Ray would be too much for him as well.
