Sugar Ray Leonard : I coulda beat Manny Pacquiao

[Larry the boss]

In this fight Manny would not have the power,speed or chin advantage.I see no way he could win,he would not even be able to outwork Ray.Manny is a great fighter but he would lose via 6-8 round ko,due to his lack of defense and inability to adjust

How this thread went in about 5 different directions...somehow Floyd ,Margarito,catchweights and diuretics all got brought up

Because a few fans HAVE to say that if Pacquiao loses to Sugar, the other greats do too, lmao.

I mean styles make fights and Floyd would be a tougher fight for Ray simply because he has better defense than Manny,can adjust during the fight and has a longer reach,but at the end of the day Ray would more than likely beat Floyd as well due to his speed,reach and size..would be a damn good fight

[Pacquiao'd]

No point. Anyway, why do you think Pacquiao negotiated for a 151 lb fight for a 154 lb title, and was that right?

I dont disagree with any of that. just cheato being champ at weight

You asked a good question. It's not really disagreeing. I thought Margarito was the interim champ. That's either yes or no...right or wrong.

I mean it is what it is Ray is not a small guy and he had quick hands threw punches in bunches,had solid defense and could take it as well as he could give it.The only loss in his prime was to a certified ATG in Duran and he avenged that loss.

Interim champ of what???he held no title at 154 EVER and was not even ranked there,he was given some bogus ass fringe title for his win against a unknown guy in Mexico and some how magically got ranked #1 by the WBC

Now that's a fantastic fantasy matchup fight, but i believe Sugar kos Floyd in fantastic fashion.

Floyd just naturally smaller than prime Sugar. Had Floyd been a FT ww, I'd pick Floyd to beat Sugar.

I don't see him stopping Floyd,but I do see him making Floyd stay in that shell and not being able to get off.
