Sugar Ray Leonard never fought @124, he won olympics as a jr Welterweight and fought the majority of his career at 147, the most he ever fought at was 168 a catchweight with Donnie Lalonde

Google would disagree with you. "In 1972, Leonard boxed in the featherweight quarterfinals of the National AAU Tournament, losing by decision to Jerome Artis"

true but i think what he saying is that some would complain that he draining him down to 154 instead of fight him a 160

Eh, a jrMW fight wouldn't upset anyone. I think most rational people would actually give Floyd props for fighting a supposed monster.

Not gonna happen though, we can Fantasy fight that one 15 years from now.

154 isn't a catchweight.

It's worse than a catch weight at least with the catch weight you are meeting your opponent half way.This would be exactly like what Ward did to Dawson which effectively ruined his career.

This fight would make GGG a star PPV attraction.

No it wouldnt Shame mosley fought a prime Oscar and did it make him a ppv star? Internet killed the ppv star after Floyd there will be no more. ggg is foreign. name one foreign ppv star. Besides Manny who had opponents to build fanbase with

GGG is white, he appeals to whites and has a large number of Latino fans thanks to his style.

Mosley was a "nice" boring black guy, the complete opposite of Fraud. Everyone buys Fraud PPVs to see him lose, nobody gave two craps about Mosley from the very beginning.

Plus he went on his bum of the month tour after beating De La Hoya before he lost twice in a row to Forrest. So he never had a chance to increase his stock after the DLH win.

Not true none of the top ppv earnersare white if that mattered Gatti, Mancini Klitscho wold be there Manny, Osca, Floyd, Tyson are not White. Mosley fought Oscar after his losses to Forrest and did great numbers, he wasnt boring. Personalities sale ppv not skin color Bro. Nothing you said can be backed up with facts and numbers

I believe you Oscar , you have always fought the best .
You should teach Leo pantycuz and some other that Bixing is about : the best fighting the best ; no ducking allowed .

Hit and not be hit ; you can not hit what you don't see .

[bojangles1987]

Guess Oscar's back on drugs. If he ever was off them.
