    Only Leonard for me. As much as I like Pryor and love Pernell I think Floyd wins them. I'm one of the people who don't wholly agree that Pernell had better defense. You could argue that Floyds is better in that Pernell WAS amazing defensively but was also inlove with it. He'd put himself completely out of counter punching position frequently due to him trying to dodge everything. I think Floyd is just too accurate and would win a funky fight where both guys do a lot of posing.

    Really the only guys i think of who definitely beat Floyd (imo of course) are Hearns and Duran with interesting matchups with Benitez and Chavez Sr

      same way you predict mayweather would beat fighters of sugar ray leonard's class when he's never been in the same ring as someone that good.

        Guys like Zivic, Saddler, Armstrong, Duran would be hell for a fighter like Mayweather.
