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

[doom_specialist]

And yet to some he couldn't even win against his first fight with Castillo and his first fight with Maidana while an argument can be made for Delahoya for a draw. And a loss to a one armed Pacqiao.

A prime SRL Mops Floyd silly.

Jesus dude, I get it. You don't like Mayweather. You don't have to reply to me with your conspiracy theories, and your equally ****** fanboy videos showing "why Floyd really lost." You seriously seem obsessed with Mayweather, and I don't use "obsessed" too often. I mean seriously, do you go out of your way to nitpick every single little thing you find wrong with every fighter's career, or just Mayweather's?

The LEAST you could have done was mount a reasonable argument for why Leonard would have won, instead of just saying he'd win with no basis whatsoever :/

Well in Sugar's era, there were 15 rounds, so those scores wouldn't work back then. I think you have to consider the three extra rounds when saying one boxer can beat another boxer in another era, unless that boxer is a knockout artist, then it doesn't matter how many rounds there are. Although Floyd is well conditioned, dudes used to be exhausted by the 14th and 15th rounds. Both are my favorites of their respective eras, but I may give Sugar Ray the nod, just because i guess I'm getting like my dad.... Favoring the athletes I watched growing up over the athletes of today.

Good post I can respect that

Lol just bringing out reality by facts I pointed out. No need to be hostile.

If b class fighters during Floyd's prime has an argument for winning those fight. Imagine what SRL can do to Floyd.

SRL is leagues better than Maidana or Castillo. That says a lot.

Enough said.

Castillo




Maidana - penalized all those lame foul hugs by Floyd Maidana won the first easily




70 power hugs in one night.

You have to consider that Mayweather used to spar 20 minute rounds with larger fighters, while switching in fresh guys to keep the pace going (this was Jim Lampley's commentary during a fight so I can't say if there's validity to this, but we know Mayweather was a workaholic in the gym). You couldn't get Mayweather tired if you wanted to. Even at 38, his conditioning over 12 rounds was better than a lot of guys in their physical primes. I think he'd last 15 rounds, and I think he'd be smart enough and durable enough to defeat Leonard. It's a great fantasy matchup where you wouldn't really be disappointed if either fighter lost (at least for me). They're both great.

I think they were just saying they'd beat each in tongue and cheek conversation. Don't take Sugar Ray so seriously. They were both joking around with each other. But boy Sugar Ray was special back in the day. Really enjoyed his fight with Marvin Hagler. Epic battle. Floyd and Sugar Ray both legends in boxing.

Your not being all the way honest here Lol Anytime Floyd had a tough fight, it was always a circumstance that you are trying to ignore!

He has faced plenty of fighters better than marcos, Oscar, Castillio, and had more awkward styles and some had styles identical to them.

Yet he humiliated them all! So why was his fights with these fighters named, so difficult for him?

Because when he faced Castillio he complained about a shoulder injury from the second round before he even knew the fight would be tough! He didnt make up an excuse after the fight. It was at the very beginning.

Against Oscar Mayweather had a small handful of fights at 140, then leaped to 47 for a small handfull of fights, then went to 54 to face Oscar! Obviously the Mayweather who faced Canelo would TKO the DogShiet out of that very same version of Oscar!

Floyd had humiliated so many fighters identical to Marcos and even more Awkward than him! However, when he faced Marcos, he was way past prime, and 17lbs lighter! You have to speak facts not shiesty little tricks designed to help your agenda! And Marcos is leagues below Floyd!

I honestly think the only fighters in history who can even test Floyd are GGG and Hagler due to size and force! And maybe a bunch of unknowned middleweights, due to the same reasons!

[ironmt]

What a disrespectful piece of shtt. Floyd outboxes him in any era at least 8-4 maybe 10-2

LOL, yeah ok.

Three very simple points.

1) No one Floyd ever fought would bother SRL even slightly.
2) Floyd has never fought anyone of the calibre of Hearns or Duran.
3) Floyd would never have a chance against Hagler. He's never taken on anyone even close to the weight never mind that quality at the size.

Floyd was awesome at 130lbs. Floyd at 147lbs is the best during a period with no great welters. SRL at welter would destroy him the only question whether Floyd could hold on and avoid being ko'd.
SRL is just bigger.

You could try to claim that Floyd is the better fighter P4P but you could never reasonably expect Floyd to actually beat a prime SRL at 147lbs.

If you were a real fight fan, you'd understand why what you just posted is a total crock of ****.
