Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard: I Told Mayweather I Would Have Beat Him

[hugh grant]

Srl told Floyd he'd beat him. And Floyd's reply probably was. I k now champ. But iwouldnt give you the chance, I wouldn't fight you.

Floyd had no way of keeping Leonard off him...Leonard had equal balance and equal speed to Floyd, plus he threw far quicker powerful combinations..Leonard was every bit as good as Floyd mayweather but bigger and much more offensive and ruthless finisher..Leonard was 41 and shot against Camacho and we're talking about primes here....were not talking about a natural lightweight in Mosley,ODH...The Leonard that beat Thomas hearns would smash the Best Floyd at welterweight ....all the fighters that mayweather has faced at welterweight had either travelled up in weight Oscar,Mosley,Guerrero,maidana,cotto or they was past there prime...cotto and Hoya ....and before you say canelo he was inexperienced and weight drained and on his best day he couldn't lace Leonards glove up.....the only way you beat Leonard is by putting him out of his own fighting style and making it a toe to toe battle and close quarters mayweather neither has the power or the style to create a Duran type of fight . Leonard takes everything that Floyd does and by the 10th or 11th round has him against the ropes and stops him...shoulder roll included and if a crude maidana and old Mosley were able to penetrate that guard be damn sure an attacking sugar ray Leonard will....Floyd pot shotting 25 punches around and fighting at his own pace will not be enough to keep Leonard from breaking him down...... No one beats Leonard except arguably Ray robinson and certainly not a defensive fighter who's a natural 130 fighter with no power in his punches at welterweight

Leonard did not have equal balance to Floyd. Leonard had been knocked his ass several times throughout his career while Floyd only touched the canvas with his glove once. Yes, Leonard was more explosive than Floyd but his attacks didn't vary and that would have spelled trouble against a defensive master such as Floyd. Leonard even said Duran's defense is what gave him the most trouble, he'd have even more trouble against Floyd.

And if Canelo was inexperienced at 23 with over 40 fights what was Hearns at 22 with over 30 fights? You guys use excuses for Floyd's wins when those same excuses could be used for Leonard's wins.

Durans the toughest street fighter thats ever lived....Floyd was dropped by Judah , wobbled by old Mosley and maidana and has no punch ..I have more pop in my punch than what mayweather doe's ..Duran on the other hand was considered one of the hardest punchers in any weight class plus he was a great inside fighter ....Duran relished tear ups and toe to toe Battles even up to middleweights when he went to war with hagler and Iran Barkley ...Floyd was complaining like a girl in the ring with maidana the first fight ...ohh I can't see...ohh I can't see or have you forgotten that ? So your saying Floyd was the same fighting style as Duran now are you ? Lol...look take that silly mma fighter off your avatar if you wanna be taken seriously on here

don't be so ******, you assclown

god you dopey pacstains say some ****** things

What an absolute clueless moron !

Lol now you want to go to the other side of the fence. As I said SRL all day. Nothing cool about that. Just what majority opinion in this thread thinks so to.

The thing is, You curse, you talk smack in here, but at the end of the day what's even more pathetic is you play it safe and don't give a definitive thought on who you want to side on. All you say naah FLOYD is this Floyd is that, SRL can't do this, SRL can't do that lol

Yeah, we can easily figure out who you are in favor of lol if you think it's Floyd. Stick with it and defend him like a man, not arguing in here talking like you know what's up. When you can't even be true to yourself who you are for, playing it safe is not how to go about it bud lol don't be a woman, only women are fickle and can't choose sides.

Stand your ground, but next time before sticking to your guns. Pick a definitive side. You've been thrashing SRL in here. Now your saying your a solid fan of SRL lol logic has it if you thrash the other guy it only means your for the other.

So for the record, since the thread is about who beats who, before you can talk logic. You have to have the base of your arguments. You have to choose. You have been all over the place. Bickering like a woman with no side and no objective lol

Let's establish your base, So are you for SRL or Floyd? Simple question bud. Don't say both. Since, as you said you know them very well. Stick to the guy who would likely win majority of the time if they fought 100x.

This is the start of learning to be in picking a side if you want to argue in a debate or more accurately in a boxing forum.

Cheers fl0mo!

# all talk, all diss, no side lol

# your opinion has no substance for most of the time, jumping 8 divisions is already a milestone achievement and you want Pac to jump another division for GGG, if you think Pac is superman. Then no problem, but the thing is he's not. He's a midget who has conquered 8 divisions already for crying out loud, and did you know even GGG has said Pac is too small for him. So learn boxing bud, you are all over the place. When there is no logic on your side. Don't push something that will make you look dumb.

# it's about FUVKIN time you grow up lol

Fk off asshat, I have done no such thing.

And don't attempt to drag me into your silly war, pac-clown.

I did not say 1 disrespectful thing about Leonard.

you be crying over nothing

Hahaha fk off asshat? wtf is that??

Anyway, this thread is about SRL fl0mo. Since you know both fighters Very well I suggest you choose among the 2 who beats who majority of the time if they fought 100x. Since it is what this thread is all about. You've said so many nonsense useless replies and have nothing to substantiate your ridiculous dimwitted statements here and still not a clear vote after 34 pages lmao

So who wins fl0mo? You know boxing right? It's a simple question, stop being a fickle minded Girly girl.

# trying to pitch Pac to fight GGG shows how much of a halfwit boxing fan you are. 8 divisions bud is a already a milestone. Think about it. Smarten up kid.

Floyds has no way of keeping leonard off him...I will state it again so this time you understand it.....mayweather had no more balance than what leonard did and you can only maintain or keep our balance when your fighting a guy that you have natural advantages over and that's foot speed and hand speed and a fighter equals you or can beat you in those two departments then your balance will be affected. ( Maidana ,guerrero,ortiz,Oscar,canelo,berto were all slow footed fighters ) and the fighters that leonard defeated in his weltwerweight fights were far more a handful to figure out than a guerrero or maidana, for his first time ever floyd would of been facing someone with natural advanatge over him in reach and natural size....more power, quicker puncher especially in combinations, better work rate , the ability to box or brawl , better finisher , better competition all beaten when they were at there prime ....leonard never weight drained thomas hearns like mayweather he did with canelo ...we can also pretty much say thomas hearns would have knocked Canelo senseless ...most of the posters on this forum are pretty much in agreement that leonard was to much for him at weltwerweight except maybe 4 or 5 bongos who keep harping on his about his defence even though he only boxed over the hill lightweights or come forward one dimensional Latinos because those fighters he had advantages over ....with leonard he had litteraly no advanatges ....As I said advanatges over speed, height, reach, power, great finisher , superior work rate and could box all brawl....what's floyds advanatges ..ohhh wait a minute it's defence and his shoulder roll....you've already seen a 39 year old almost have him out on the floor in mosley , yo es de. Little zab judah drop him and out box him for 6 rounds , you've seen Oscar lose a split decision to him becaue he stopped using his jab and he was 34 , you've seen maidana beat him up in the first fight and was lucky to escape with a win and complain about a bit of blood in his eyes ..as I said a prime sugar ray leonard would break floyd down by the 10th or 11th round and going by this thread 9 out 10 think the same ..shoulder roll and defence my a$$ lol

Leonard never got dropped once in his prime...and this about primes isn't it , not about after retirements and injurys ...as what I've always said the 1982 leonard that was just approaching his prime beats and stops any version of floyd mayweather at welterweight ...as for mayweather you can choose the version that was getting beat by a 34 year old Oscar or the mayweather that got dropped by judah or even the an older version that struggled with maidana , or even go for the 39 year old Shane Mosley fight lol....son you don't have a clue
