Sugar Ray Leonard : I coulda beat Manny Pacquiao

[Kagami Taiga]

Difference between @SUGARRAYLEONARD & @FloydMayweather - Ray fought ALL his all time great contemporaries, side-stepped nobody #boxing

Ouch lol. Flo-mos are feeling it.

to bad it isnt true. he side stepped hagler for years. he even admitted it. waited for the guy to slow down.

Listen buddy it aint about the politics so I dont give a **** whos fault is was , the fact remains Oscar was a dehydrated dead man who needed IV infusions to gain 2 lb , if you know anything about boxing you know how bad that is , any WW in the top 10 would have flattened Oscar that night , Steve Forbes would have beat him 5lbs lighter than the flat as tack ODH that he fought , learn boxing and matchmaking beyond the hype .

You know what I cant even be bothered going through it all again , the dude is a fake WW hype job , his history from Diaz to Bradley PROVES IT !

That was more Oscar's problem than Manny who was 1 fight from moving up 3 divisions. Oscar had to just come down 3 lbs .... Oscar either did it incorrectly or just shouldn't have.

LMAO. Manny is in no way the best WW today. Leonard fought the top guys in their prime. Manny has fought them after losses, catch weights, Mayweather leftovers.

Leonard mops the floor with him. easily.

I'm not going to suggest that Sugar Ray Leonard did not fight the best fighters in their prime as that'd be incorrect, Hearns, Benitez and Duran were prime in the first fight. Though looking at things like that it can be said that Barerra, Bradley and Marquez were in their prime when Pacquiao fought them.

Because Pacquiao has fought fighters in their prime your statements suggest that Sugar Ray Leonard did not fight fighters outside of their peak which is simply not true.

Sugar Ray Leonard was watching Duran closely and he had a plan he saw a weakness, -''My intention was to fight Duran ASAP because I knew Duran's habbits I knew he'd indulge himself, eat gain 40 50lb and have to sweat it off to have to make 147lb that was my plan all along''.

The above is a direct quote from him which actually shows that he went out of his way to make the fight when his opponents performance would dip. He also avoided Hagler until he showed signs of decline.

Cant argue with that.

Initially, it was supposed to be a one time thing moving up to WW. After the fight, people speculated if Manny winning had more to do with Oscar not being prime and coming down to 147 than Manny. ..... So there were still definite questions ..... especially considering that Manny came in at 142 for at 147 limit fight. Manny's next fight, he came in at 138 for a 140lbs fight .....

then was asked to go back up to 145 (or 147) .. but people such as Floyd SR stated that Cotto would win. Looking at it back, I wished it was at 147, as it would not have made a difference. Cotto never said he was drained .... just the haters say it.


Margarito was NOT the champ at 154 .... and he had a bonus of 3lbs over his career fighting weight. Again, Manny was pushing his limits. SO you can't blame him for trying.

You failed in a few points but who's counting, right?

Do you expect boxing fans to side with you on this garbage that you wrote, lmao?

Dont matter whos fault it was what part of that dont you get , its irrelevant to the context , the point is Oscar was skewed and offered no resistance because of his physical dehydrated weakened state , and YOU claim the win as big , it wasnt it was the same as the guy that won the gold medal because he was last and the whole field crashed and fell over allowing him to win I bet his friends and family brag about their gold medal winner , that what your doing , a win is not a win unless you win on your merit , and the opponent is at his best he can be at that time , health wise , meaning nothing wrong that will handicap you badly in the event .

When those guys fought Manny it meant being handicapped health wise , not good form to be slapping all these allocates on the wins when they are really hollow !

a prime Margarito? his reach was too long, he had too much power and heart.

Prime Margo was a monster that would give any old fighter trouble.

SRL would duck him relentlessly
