    no. the old school era is favored because the likes of leonard faced the benitezs, durans, haglers, and hearns' of the world. there's no guy on floyd's resume that's remotely close to being better than those guys i just mentioned.

    i will say this though, i think floyd is the best boxer to ever (not the greatest. greatest implies achievements and he, as much as i appreciate him as a fighter, doesn't have the names on his resume to be compared to ali or leonard) lace them up, his prowess is up there with the leonard, robinson's, jones' etc. his athletic ability and his boxing brain are second to none.

      I also don't agree about Kalule. I think fighters like Castillo and Corrales were at least as good as Kalule. You could argue for Canelo too.

      I actually think Leonard would look better than Judah lol. I think Judah's performance has become more and more exaggerated. Those first four rounds were competitive but Judah wasn't dominating Floyd.
      Ok, kalule was on par with a Castillo, etc..

      I just think Leonard would figure him out and walk him down like he did vs Benitez..
      Benitez is like a bigger version of Floyd, both really crafty and like to set traps.

      As for Judah, yeah Leonard would look better obviously.. Just using him as an example because he had success early vs Floyd with handspeed/power and should have had a knockdown called when Floyd buckled and glove touched mat..

        I'm not dis*****g that Leonard would win. I agree with you on that part of it lol. It could resemble the Benitez fight but I think Floyd is better conditioned, more focused, and has a better chin than Benitez had. When Benitez did get caught he could be hurt badly. I don't know if you've seen the Bruce Curry fights but that's an example.

            Floyd Mayweather: Sugar Ray Leonard must take the test, Sugar Ray Leonard must wear pillow gloves, Sugar Ray Leonard must leave his promoter Bob Arum, Mayweather Promotions must be the lead promoter of this event.

              If you're comparing the Floyd of now v Leonard; then you're comparing the Leonard who faced Norris/Camacho and believe he beats this version of Floyd??

              Prime v Prime I see nothing other than a Leonard win. It wouldn't be a blowout like some people make it out to be as Floyd can seriously box, I just think Leonard outworks him to a 115-113 type decision.
