Sugar Ray Leonard : I coulda beat Manny Pacquiao

[Marvellous1]

Sooooooo..... what was his thread about again? Oh yeah, Sugar Ray Leonard says he would've beaten Manny Pacquiao, right?

Manny Pacquiao: Buzzsaw style. At best relentless attack, fast hands and feet with an "in and out style". Average defense but good chin. Best asset, his speed and the dynamite in his fists. Can damage with single shots or an accumilation of hurtful punches. Has problems with the boxer/mover style, tendancy to get frustrated if his opponent doesn't "come forward to fight" and can get visibly frustrated.

Ray Leonard: Excellent technical ability, fast hands and feet. Great movement around the ring and top boxing intelligence (new how to psyche out an opponent or please judges). Leonard had very good power and as well as being a great boxer.... he could fight if he needed to. Very occasionally drawn into fights when not suited and could be out-willed by the very, very best only.

Matching them up, skill set for skill set, I have to make Leonard the winner. He could equal Manny's speed, out manouver him (as Manny doesn't cut off the ring well) and most importantly, he had the ability to hurt Manny and..... fight him. I could see Leonards in-ring antics frustrating Manny into his lunging attacks, contantly putting him off balance. The only chance Manny would have is to find a way to hurt Leonard and keep him hurt. Not impossible, but less likey than Leonard imposing his fight on Manny.

Leonard wins.

'Sugar' Ray Leonard: No one way to beat Pacquiao




MANILA, Philippines – Boxing legend "Sugar" Ray Leonard has recognized reigning pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao boxing skills, saying that there is no single approach that can decisively defeat the Filipino boxing icon.

"There is not one way to approach a guy like Manny Pacquiao," Leonard said on ESPN's SportsCenter.

"He has incredible hand speed, great footwork. He's always in great shape so you can never catch him on a bad day."

Leonard said the way to beat Pacquiao is to treat a boxing match as a "kind of chess match."

"It's the only way to beat a guy like Manny Pacquiao," Leonard said.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather

Leonard also shared his thoughts on the ongoing saga between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

"Both guys are indeed the best in their division, and I think that they're both trying to gain some psychological edge," he said.

Despite the drama that surrounded the negotiations, Leonard said he remains an optimist and believes that the fight will happen.

"But it has to happen pretty soon," said the ring legend. "I want to see it (the fight), as a fan."

Leonard also said that during his time as a boxer, he never ducked any one who challenged him.

"Champions fought champions back in my day," he said.

Was it June? I thought it was a September article. But whatever. It's so cute when they get enraged with butthurtness when Manny is mentioned.
